[Pythoncard-users] Is "Toolbox" background possible to make...?

[Stoons <st...@he...>]

Hi there.

I was just wondering if there is any possibility to make a window with =
toolbox-look (you know: a a narrow titlebar with only a =
close-button)...?
If, so how...?

In the past I've hacked the styles for wx.Frame init in the file model.py
but that is kind of ugly
If you want to try, it has worked for many of the windows styles listed in
the wxWidgets help
for class wxFrame.

I haven't done it for  recent wxWidgets/PythonCard versions.

I have just such a window in an appplication of mine. Put this code in
your PythonCard application:

-----begin code-----
class MyMiniFrame(wx.MiniFrame):

    def __init__(
        self, parent, title, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize,
        style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE 
        ):

        wx.MiniFrame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title, pos, size, style)
        panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        txt = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Scanning, please wait...")
        txt.SetPosition((20,10))

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnCloseWindow)

    def OnCloseWindow(self, event):
        self.Destroy()
------end code------

Then to make the window appear, the code I have is this:

-----begin code-----
    def on_scanBtn_mouseClick(self, event):
        win = MyMiniFrame(self, "Wireless Network Scan",
                          style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE | wx.TINY_CAPTION_HORIZ)
        win.SetSize((200, 60))
        win.CenterOnParent(wx.BOTH)
        win.Show(True)
        win.Update()
        win.Refresh()
        wx.Yield()
        
        cmd = '/sbin/iwlist %s scan' % self.iface
        result = commands.getoutput(cmd)
        win.Close()
------end code------

Hope this helps.

Hi there...

I found a solution, I inserted the follwing:

    def on_initialize(self,event):
        ....
        ....
        self.SetWindowStyle(wx.CAPTION | wx.CLOSE_BOX | wx.STAY_ON_TOP | 
wx.FRAME_TOOL_WINDOW | wx.CLOSE_BOX | wx.SYSTEM_MENU )
        self.Refresh()


/Stoons.

PS Pythoncard truly rules..!
