Okay so, something's odd and I can't figure it out. Suppose I've got some categories, each with some items, all fitted into a dictionary.
import wx
nyoom = {}
nyoom['spiders'] = ['Yellow Sac', 'Orbweaver', 'Garden']
nyoom['cats']= ['Bombay','Angora']
nyoom['cambrian'] = ['Wiwaxia','Hallucigenia','Pikaia','Alomancaris']
Then I want to display each category as a button which collapses or displays all of that category's contents as buttons as well.
class SeqFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__( self, None, wx.ID_ANY, "GUI Woes", size=(400,400))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
sizer = wx.FlexGridSizer(cols=2, hgap=5, vgap=5) #sizer for the window
numActsTxtBox = wx.TextCtrl( self.panel, -1, "1", size=(40, -1))
numActsTxtTxt = wx.CheckBox( self.panel, -1, "Number of Times")
sizer.Add( numActsTxtTxt, 0, wx.ALL )
sizer.Add( numActsTxtBox, 0, wx.ALL )
for categories in nyoom.keys():
self.categPanes=[]
self.categPanes.append(wx.CollapsiblePane(self.panel, -1, label=categories))
self.buildPanes(self.categPanes[-1], sizer)
thisPanel = self.categPanes[-1].GetPane()
panelSizer = wx.BoxSizer( wx.VERTICAL ) #sizer for the panel contents
sortedCategory = nyoom[categories]
sortedCategory.sort()
for i in range(0,len(nyoom[categories])):
thisSeq = wx.Button( thisPanel, label=sortedCategory[i], name=sortedCategory[i])
panelSizer.Add( thisSeq, 0, wx.GROW | wx.ALL ,0 )
thisPanel.SetSizer(panelSizer)
panelSizer.SetSizeHints(thisPanel)
self.panel.SetSizerAndFit(sizer)
self.Fit()
def buildPanes(self, categPane, sizer):
categPane.Bind(wx.EVT_COLLAPSIBLEPANE_CHANGED, self.OnPaneChanged)
sizer.Add(categPane, 0, wx.GROW | wx.ALL, 0)
def OnPaneChanged(self, evt):
self.panel.GetSizer().Layout()
self.panel.Fit()
self.Fit()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App()
frame = SeqFrame()
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
(That's my entire sample app.)
I can't figure out why, but everything works fine for the last category in the dictionary:
But the previous categories can only display one button/item.
thisPanel
is being set inside your loop, but you're calling SetSizer
after the loop, so only the last thisPanel
gets a sizer. Move the call to SetSizer
inside the loop.
