Re: [Pythoncard-users] Make button inactive

[Liam C. <cy...@gm...>]

def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
       print "*** button clicked"
       # why can i not disable the button with:
       self.components.Test.enabled = False

       time.sleep(5)
       self.components.Test.enabled = True

Because, you're not repainting in there - alternately, you could use
wx.timer instead.
(This is straight copy and paste from the Pythoncard manual.)

from wxPython import wx

def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
      self.myTimer = wx.wxTimer(self.components.Test, -1) # create a timer
      self.components.Test.enabled = False
      self.myTimer.Start(5000) # launch timer, to fire every 5000ms (5 seconds)

def on_Test_timer(self, event):
      self.myTimer.Stop()
      self.components.Test.enabled = True


That's guaranteed to do it for you but it's a bit of a hackish brute
way of doing it. You have to force a repaint, iirc, and how do that is
buried deep within wxPython.
