Code Example 1: 

Python3

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):
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()

        # Radio tool using AddTool() Function
        ptool = self.toolbar.AddTool(12, 'oneTool',
                                  wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / right.png'),
                                  wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / wrong.png'),
                                  kind = wx.ITEM_RADIO, shortHelp ="Simple Tool")

        spc = self.toolbar.AddStretchableSpace()

        # Check tool using AddTool() Function
        qtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(12, 'oneTool',  wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / right.png'),
                                                     wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / wrong.png'),
                                             kind = wx.ITEM_CHECK, shortHelp ="Simple Tool")

        spc = self.toolbar.AddStretchableSpace()
        # Normal tool using AddTool() Function
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(12, 'oneTool',  wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / right.png'),
                                                     wx.Bitmap('/home / wxPython / wrong.png'),
                                           kind = wx.ITEM_NORMAL, shortHelp ="Simple Tool")


        # Realize() is called to finalize all added tools
        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Control')
        self.Centre()



def main():

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

import wx

class Example(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        td = self.toolbar.AddTool(1, '', wx.Bitmap('sep.png'))

        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnOne, td)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Undo redo')
        self.Centre()

    def OnOne(self, e):
        self.toolbar.InsertTool(pos = 1, toolId = 2, label ='wrong', bitmap = wx.Bitmap('wrong.png'))
        self.toolbar.InsertTool(pos = 2, toolId = 3, label ='right', bitmap = wx.Bitmap('right.png'))
        # Realize() called to finalize new added tools
        self.toolbar.Realize()

    def OnQuit(self, e):
        self.Close()


def main():
