Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self)

Default constructor.

Use Create to really create the control after using this constructor.

---

__init__ (self, parent, winid=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name=”activityindicator”)

Constructor fully creating the control.

The arguments have the usual meanings and only parent is typically required.

Parameters

• parent (wx.Window) –

• winid (wx.WindowID) –

• pos (wx.Point) –

• size (wx.Size) –

• style (long) –

• name (string) –

---

---

Create(self, parent, winid=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0, name="activityindicator")

Create the control initialized using the default constructor.

This method can be used to finish the control creation if it hadn’t been done already by using the non-default constructor.

Parameters

• parent (wx.Window) –

• winid (wx.WindowID) –

• pos (wx.Point) –

• size (wx.Size) –

• style (long) –

• name (string) –

Return type

bool

static GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)

Parameters

bool

---

Start(self)
