Refreshing a wx.Panel

[Elias Alhanatis]

Dear friends,

First of all , i wish a Happy New Year to all of you!!!!

I have been learning Python and the Tkinter GUI package for the last 6 months ,
and now i am trying to rewrite a program i made using the wxPython package.
I have a toolbar , a panel ( on which all the 'action' takes place ) ,and a status bar.
My question is , how do i delete and then redraw the panel? Here is an example of the code i use:

# -*- coding: cp1253 -*-
from wxPython.wx import *
import wx
 
 
class ApplicationFrame(wxFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title):
        wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title,
                         wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(720, 450))
        self.CreateStatusBar()
        self.SetStatusText(u" StatusBar : Σύντομη περιγραφή της υπό επιλογή λειτουργίας")
        toolbar1 = self.CreateToolBar( wx.TB_HORIZONTAL | wx.TB_TEXT | wx.BORDER_DOUBLE)
        toolbar1.SetToolBitmapSize((70,63))
        toolbar1.SetBackgroundColour("#d5ab6c")
        toolbar1.AddSimpleTool(10, wx.Bitmap('Apothiki_Button.gif'),u" Αποθήκη ",u" Άνοιγμα καταλόγου αποθήκης")
        toolbar1.AddSimpleTool(20, wx.Bitmap('Pelates_Button.gif'),u" Πελάτες ",u" Άνοιγμα καταλόγου πελατών")
        toolbar1.AddSimpleTool(30, wx.Bitmap('Promitheftes_Button.gif'),u" Προμηθευτές ",u" Άνοιγμα καταλόγου προμηθευτών")
        toolbar1.AddSimpleTool(40, wx.Bitmap('Exit_Button.gif'),u" Έξοδος ",u" Έξοδος από το πρόγραμμα")
        toolbar1.Realize()
        EVT_MENU(self,40,self.TimeToQuit)
        EVT_MENU(self,20,self.Pelates)
        EVT_MENU(self,30,self.ChangeColour)
        self.panel=wx.Panel(self,id=50,style=wx.BORDER_SUNKEN,name=" My Panel")
        self.panel.SetBackgroundColour("red")
        self.panel.Show()
        self.panel.Bind(EVT_LEFT_DCLICK,lambda event:self.panel.SetBackgroundColour("blue"))
 
 
    def ChangeColour(self,event):
        self.panel.SetBackgroundColour("skyblue")
        self.panel.Refresh(true)
 
    def Pelates ( self,event):
        pass
 
    def TimeToQuit(self, event):
        self.Close(true)
 
 
class MyApp(wxApp):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = ApplicationFrame(NULL, -1, "Midas wx_Python")
        frame.Show(true)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return true
 
app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()

As you can see , i try both ways to change the colour of the panel , but none of
them works properly. I have noticed that with the Bind method , the panel gets refreshed when i drag and move on it another window from my desktop.
I am using Python 2.5.1 on Windows Vista.

Thank you all in advance!!!!
