wxPython – StaticText() constructor in wx.StaticText

In this article we are going to learn about StaticText() associated with wx.StaticText class of wxPython. A static text control displays one or more lines of read-only text.

wx.StaticText supports the three classic text alignments, label elliptization i.e. replacing parts of the text with the ellipsis (“…”) if the label doesn’t fit into the provided space and also formatting markup with wx.Control.SetLabelMarkup .

Syntax: wx.StaticText.StaticText(parent, id=ID_ANY, label=””, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=StaticTextNameStr)

Parameters:

Parameter	Input Type	Description
parent	wx.Window	Parent window. Should not be None.
id	wx.Window	Parent window. Should not be None.
parent	wx.WindowID	Control identifier. A value of -1 denotes a default value.
label	string	Text label.
pos	wx.Point	Window position.
size	wx.Size	Window size.
style	long	Window style.
name	string	Window name.

Code Example:

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)
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        bmp = wx.Bitmap('right.png')
        # CREATE STATICTEXT AT POINT (20, 20)
        self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="This is StaticText", pos =(20, 20),
                                size = wx.DefaultSize, style = 0, name ="statictext")

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

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


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
