wxPython – Disable statictext in wxPython

Python provides wxpython package which allows us to create high functional graphical user interface. It is cross platform GUI toolkit for python, Phoenix version Phoenix is the improved next-generation wxPython and it mainly focused on speed, maintainability and extensibility. 

In this article, we will learn about how we can disable a statictext. We can disable a statictext using Disable() method associated with wx.StaticText class of wxPython. Disable() method simply disables a statictext and we cannot select the text. 

Disable() function takes no arguments.

Syntax: wx.StaticText.Disable()

Parameters: Disable() function takes no arguments.

Example:

Python3

# importing wx library
import wx

# create an Example class
class Example(wx.Frame):
    # constructor
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # method calling
        self.InitUI()

    # method for user interface creation
    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)

        # create parent panel for button
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)

        # create statictext at point (20,20)
        self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl,
                                id = 1,
                                label = "Button")

        # disable statictext
        self.st.Disable()

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('wx.Button')
        self.Centre()

# main function
def main():
  # create an App object
  app = wx.App()

  # create an Example object
  ex = Example(None)
  ex.Show()

  # running an app
  app.MainLoop()

# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
  # main function call
  main()

Output:
