What is the correct way to publish.listen to a size change event in wxpython?
I'm sure this is simple, but I can't get my head around how to implement this between classes well (please forgive any newbie obvious errors).
I can send the event using pypubsub, but this only caught by the listener when the UI class is created (i.e. listened once, not when the frame is subsequently resized).
listeners:
# listeners - define before the event
pub.subscribe(self.on_resized, 'size_changed')
pub.subscribe(self.on_relocated, 'pos_changed')
publishers:
def on_size(self, event):
_size = event.GetSize()
pub.sendMessage('size_changed', size=_size)
def on_move(self, event):
_pos = event.GetPosition()
pub.sendMessage('pos_changed', pos=_pos)
I've tried using a CallAfter - but this doesn't seem to help (not too sure what I'm doing with this, but thought it may call the event after)
def on_size(self, event):
_size = event.GetSize()
wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage, 'size_changed', size=_size)
def on_move(self, event):
_pos = event.GetPosition()
wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage, 'pos_changed', pos=_pos)
I also tried a second varient of CallAfter, which seems to be listened to twice (an improvement?), but I understand this to be incorrectly formatted by the resultant AssertionError
def on_size(self, event):
_size = event.GetSize()
# test incorrect formatting of call after...
wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage('size_changed', size=_size))
def on_move(self, event):
_pos = event.GetPosition()
pub.sendMessage('pos_changed', pos=_pos)
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers
minimal demo:
import pubsub.pub as pub
import wx
class UI(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# init base class
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# bindings
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MOVE, self.on_move)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, self.on_size)
def on_size(self, event):
_size = event.GetSize()
print('[UI] resized to :', _size)
# broadcast new size
pub.sendMessage('size_changed', size=_size)
# wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage, 'size_changed', size=_size)
# test incorrect formatting of call after...
# wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage('size_changed', size=_size))
def on_move(self, event):
_pos = event.GetPosition()
print('[UI] moved to :', _pos)
# broadcast new location
pub.sendMessage('pos_changed', pos=_pos)
# wx.CallAfter(pub.sendMessage, 'pos_changed', pos=_pos)
class CustomFrame(object):
def __init__(self, parent=None, _id=wx.ID_ANY, title='test'):
# listeners - define before the event
pub.subscribe(self.on_resized, 'size_changed')
pub.subscribe(self.on_relocated, 'pos_changed')
self._id = _id
self._ui = UI(parent=parent, id=_id, title=title)
self._ui.Show()
def on_resized(self, size):
print('[CustomFrame] The new size is :=', size)
# do something with the new size
def on_relocated(self, pos):
print('[CustomFrame] The new location is :=', pos)
# do something with the new position
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App()
CustomFrame(title='Demo')
app.MainLoop()
I think it's because CustomFrame
isn't a frame, it's some object
.
If you change the definition of CustomFrame
to the following code, it should work. That said, it's unclear what you're trying to achieve here.
class CustomFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent=None, _id=wx.ID_ANY, title='test'):
# init base class
super(CustomFrame, self).__init__(parent)
# listeners - define before the event
pub.subscribe(self.on_resized, 'size_changed')
pub.subscribe(self.on_relocated, 'pos_changed')
self._id = _id
self._ui = UI(parent=self, id=_id, title=title)
self._ui.Show()
