wxPython: StaticText Event

[David]

Plaese look at this simple class.

import wx
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, id):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, "Hide test", size=(160,160))

# create widgets
self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)
self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl, -1,
"Static Text Control", pos=(30,20))
self.tc = wx.TextCtrl(self.pnl, -1, pos=(30,100))
self.Layout()

# Binding
self.st.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnterStArea)
self.tc.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnterTcArea)

def OnEnterStArea(self, event):
print "Mouse entering in STATIC text control area"

def OnEnterTcArea(self, event):
print "Mouse entering in text control area"

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = MyFrame(None, -1)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
Hovering mouse over the StaticText Control should generate an
EVT_ENTER_WINDOW event like the TextCtrl Control, but it does not happen.

How can I make the StaticText event working?

thank you

I quick Google search found the following thread:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/archive/w.../msg31855.html
or

It suggest that you use another kind of control instead.
Is a disabled TextCtrl acceptable?

Hope this helps,

According to the book "wxPython In Action", page 186:

"One feature that you cannot see from just the figure is that the
wx.StaticText window never receives or responds to mouse events, and
never takes the user focus."

If you want to create static text that responds to mouse events, try
using the wx.lib.stattext.GenStaticText class.

Add the following import:

import wx.lib.stattext

Then,

self.st = wx.lib.stattext.GenStaticText(self.pnl, -1, 'Static Text
Control', pos=(30,20))

Regards,

John
