    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        ctrl = wx.Control(self.toolbar, 21, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, style = 0, name ='control')
        # Add control using AddControl() method
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddControl(ctrl, 'control')
        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Simple toolbar')
        self.Centre()

        print(self.toolbar.FindControl(21))

def main():

    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

        self.SetTitle('Simple toolbar')
        self.Centre()

        print(self.toolbar.FindControl(21).GetName())

def main():
    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output :
