    A Look at wxPython - Creating Windows and Status Bars


    (Page 3 of 6 )

    All right. Dialogs are fine to mess with for a while, but let's move on. (By the way, note that wxPython includes many more dialogs). Let's create a window:

    from wxPython.wx import *

    application = wxPySimpleApp()

    dialog = wxFrame ( None, wxID_ANY, 'Title Here.' )

    dialog.Show ( True )

    application.MainLoop()

    When creating a wxFrame, three arguments are passed, as you can see. The first argument is the parent, which you have already seen. Our window does not have a parent. The second argument is the ID of the object. We don't need to worry about it in this tutorial –- passing wxID_ANY will work fine. The third argument is, obviously, the title of the window.

    Many applications have status bars at the bottom with certain text. We can add a simple one to our application:

    from wxPython.wx import *

    application = wxPySimpleApp()

    window = wxFrame ( None, wxID_ANY, 'Title Here.' )

    window.CreateStatusBar()

    window.Show ( True )

    application.MainLoop()
