wxPYTHON CHECK BOX

REVISED: Sunday, March 3, 2013

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a wxPython check box.

I.  wxPYTHON CHECK BOX

The PLAIN FRAME WINDOW opens with the check box displayed.

II.  wxPYTHON EXAMPLE PROGRAM

Start the Python 2.7.3 interpreter shell by "double left mouse clicking" the Python icon on your desktop. When the "Python Shell" window opens  select "File", then select "New Window". In the "New Window" type the following code, which is an expansion of the class bright we worked with in the last tutorial.  Use four spaces, columns, for each indent.

import wx

class bright(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self,parent,id):
                wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,'PLAIN FRAME WINDOW', size=(600,400))
                panel=wx.Panel(self)

# Creates check box
# Five parameters:
# 1. Parent name is panel
# 2. ID is -1
# 3. Label for check box
# 4. Check box position on the frame 10 across and 15 down from top left corner of frame
# 5. Check box width of 100 pixels, and default height of -1
                wx.CheckBox(panel, -1, "Cat", (10,15), (100,-1))

if __name__=='__main__':
        app=wx.PySimpleApp()
        frame=bright(parent=None,id=-1)
        frame.Show()
        app.MainLoop()

From the "New Window", do a "File Save As" and save the above Python program, using the file name brightCheckBox.py to the same path which your computer used to download Python 2.7.3. For example, I saved my brightCheckBox.py  file  to my Python27 folder using the following path:

C:\Python27\brightCheckBox.py

From the "New Window", do a "Run" and then a "Run Module F5" and a wxPython GUI toolkit frame with the title "PLAIN FRAME WINDOW" in the top left corner will open.

The comments which start with  a hash, #, sign explain how this wxPython program works.

Some of the underscores are double underscores; e.g., __init__,  __name__, and __main__  all have double underscores before and after them.

In this tutorial, you have learned how to create a wxPython check box.
