wxPython – Hide Radio Box from the frame

In this article we are going to learn how can we hide the whole Radio Box widget present inside a frame. In order to do that we will be using Hide() function. Hide() function requires no parameters. Hide() function only hides the Radio Box widget while not remove from the window. Also, the value of items inside Radio Box remain unchanged.

Syntax: wx.RadioBox.Hide(self)

Parameters Hide() function requires no parameters.

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)

        # list of choices
        lblList = ['Radio One', 'Radio Two']

        # create radio box containing above list
        self.rbox = wx.RadioBox(pnl, label ='RadioBox', pos =(80, 10), choices = lblList,
                                          majorDimension = 1, style = wx.RA_SPECIFY_ROWS)

        # create a button in the frame
        self.btn = wx.Button(pnl, 1, "Hide RadioBox", pos =(100, 100));


        # bind a function with button
        self.btn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onclick)

        # set frame in centre
        self.Centre()
        # set size of frame
        self.SetSize((400, 250))
        # show output frame
        self.Show(True)

    def onclick(self, e):
        # hide radio box from the frame
        self.rbox.Hide()


# wx App instance
ex = wx.App()
# Example instance
FrameUI(None, 'RadioButton and RadioBox')
ex.MainLoop()

Output Window:

before clicking button

after clicking button
