wxPython – Hide toolbar from frame

In this article we are going to learn that how can we hide toolbar present in the frame. In order to do that we will be using Hide() function. Hide() function simply hides the Toolbar window and not delete it like Drop() function. Hidden toolbar can be shown again using Show() function.

Syntax: wx.ToolBar.Hide(Self)

Parameters: No parameters required by Hide() function.

Return Type: bool

Code Example:

import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):
    global count
    count = 0;

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

        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        tool = self.toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, 'First',
                                    wx.Bitmap('right.png'))
        self.toolbar.Realize()

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

        # button
        self.btn = wx.Button(self, label ='Hide Toolbar', pos =(20, 20))

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


        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Simple toolbar')
        self.Centre()

    def onclick(self, e):
        # hide toolbar
        self.toolbar.Hide()

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output Window:

before clicking button

after clicking button
