wxPython – Remove static text on clicking button

In this article we are going to learn about how can we remove static text from the frame on clicking a button present in the same frame.
We need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Create a static text in frame.
Step 1: Create a button in the same frame.
Step 1: Assign event function for the button.
Step 4: Destroy static text using Destroy() function.

Syntax: wx.StaticText.Destroy(self)

Parameters: Destroy() function takes no arguments.

Code:

import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):

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

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)

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

        # create statictext at point (20, 20)
        self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl, id = 1,
                    label ="Click button to remove", pos =(20, 20))

        # create button
        self.btn = wx.Button(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="Remove Text", pos =(20, 50))

        # bind Onclick() event function
        self.btn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.Onclick)


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

    def Onclick(self, e):
        # destroy static text
        self.st.Destroy()

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output Window:

before clicking button

after clicking button
