wxPython - get text from wxTextCtrl on a seperate frame

[Russ Phillips]

I'm just starting to learn Python & wxPython. I have a frame named
frSend in a file fSend. On this frame is a wxTextCtrl named txtMsg. I
have a module named defs.py

I would like to get the value of txtMsg from within defs.py

I tried the following:

BodyText = fSend.frSend.txtMsg.GetValue ()

When I run it, I get the following error:

AttributeError: class frSend has no attribute 'txtMsg'

Any help much appreciated.

First it might be better to ask this question on wxPython-user group rather
than here - it may help you in the future. Â*
I can't follow the code so I'll provide what I'd normally do.

First I would set my var
#I assume much here
mytextVar=txtMsg.GetValue()
#next create the control
Tcontrol=wx.TextCtrl(self,10,mytextVar, size=(200,300) ....
#make sure you add what style etc to the control

As stated in this error message, you are referring to
a wx.Frame *class*, not an instance, and apparently not
what you thought you were doing. Note the difference
in the error messages produced below:

class A: .... pass
.... a = A()

a.test Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: A instance has no attribute 'test' A.test

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: class A has no attribute 'test'

Thanks, John.

As it happened, after I posted my question, I had lunch, and when I
came back to it, I got it working! Typical :-)

Thanks again for your help,
