In this article we are going to learn about Static Box in wxPython. A static box is a rectangle drawn around other windows to denote a logical grouping of items.
In this article we will create Static Box using two step creation, in order to do that we will use Create() method.
Syntax: wx.StaticBox.Create(parent, id=ID_ANY, label=””, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=StaticBoxNameStr)
Parameters
Parameter Input Type Description parent wx.Window Parent window. Must not be None. id wx.WindowID Window identifier. The value wx.ID_ANY indicates a default value. label string Text to be displayed in the static box, the empty string for no label. pos wx.Point Window position. If wx.DefaultPosition is specified then a default position is chosen. size wx.Size Checkbox size. If wx.DefaultSize is specified then a default size is chosen. style long Window style. There are no StaticBox-specific styles, but generic ALIGN_LEFT, ALIGN_CENTRE_HORIZONTAL and ALIGN_RIGHT can be used here to change the position of the static box label when using wxGTK name string Window name Return Type: bool
Code Example:
import wx class FrameUI(wx.Frame): def __init__( self , parent, title): super (FrameUI, self ).__init__(parent, title = title, size = ( 300 , 200 )) # function for in-frame components self .InitUI() def InitUI( self ): # parent panel for radio box pnl = wx.Panel( self ) # initialize static box self .sb = wx.StaticBox() # create static box self .sb.Create(pnl, 2 , label = "Static Box" , pos = ( 20 , 20 ), size = ( 100 , 100 )) # set frame in centre self .Centre() # set size of frame self .SetSize(( 400 , 250 )) # show output frame self .Show( True ) # wx App instance ex = wx.App() # Example instance FrameUI( None , 'RadioButton and RadioBox' ) ex.MainLoop() |
