AddPane, derived classes and wxPython :?:

[Lugh]

Hi, I am working in wxPython and I am trying to add my own class as a pane in the managed window. I get the error:

argument 2 expects type 'wxWindow *'

As far as I know, you can not cast in python. Does anyone have experience in this area? Yes, I know the child frame is just a button, but this is for demonstration purposes.

Thank-you!!!

Code: Select all

...
class childFrame(wx.Frame):
    b=wx.Button(parent,wx.NewId(),"b")
...
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    ...
    self._mgr = wx.aui.AuiManager()
    self._mgr.SetManagedWindow(self)
    ...
    ctrl=wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "test",size=(200, 100))
    menu= childFrame(parent=self, title="Menu")   #during initiation sets this frame as parent
    self._mgr.AddPane(ctrl, wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Name("test").Left())
    self._mgr.AddPane(menu, wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Name("menu"))
    ...
    self._mgr.Update()

Hey there,

I'm just chiming in to let you know that I don't really have an answer for you (although I'm the primary wxAUI author). I'd suggest posting your question to a list where the wxpython people operate.

All the best,
Ben
