Re: [Pythoncard-users] Make button inactive

[Ronny De W. <ron...@gm...>]

Kevin,

Thanks, using redraw() and Yield() solved my problem:

    def on_Test_mouseClick(self, event):
        if self.loading:
            return
        self.loading = True
        print "*** button clicked"
        self.components.Test.enabled = False
        self.components.Test.redraw()
        time.sleep(5)
        wx.Yield()
        self.loading = False
        self.components.Test.enabled = True

Cheers/ rdw
