phoenix_title wx.lib.agw.aui.auibar.AuiToolBar

AuiToolBar is a completely owner-drawn toolbar perfectly integrated with the AUI layout system. This allows drag and drop of toolbars, docking/floating behaviour and the possibility to define “overflow” items in the toolbar itself.

The default theme that is used is AuiDefaultToolBarArt, which provides a modern, glossy look and feel. The theme can be changed by calling AuiToolBar.SetArtProvider.

Methods

__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0, agwStyle=AUI_TB_DEFAULT_STYLE)

Default class constructor.

Parameters
  • parent (wx.Window) – the AuiToolBar parent;

  • id (integer) – an identifier for the control: a value of -1 is taken to mean a default;

  • pos (wx.Point) – the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;

  • size (wx.Size) – the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;

  • style (integer) – the control window style;

  • agwStyle (integer) –

    the AGW-specific window style. This can be a combination of the following bits:

    Flag name

    Description

    AUI_TB_TEXT

    Shows the text in the toolbar buttons; by default only icons are shown

    AUI_TB_NO_TOOLTIPS

    Don’t show tooltips on AuiToolBar items

    AUI_TB_NO_AUTORESIZE

    Do not auto-resize the AuiToolBar

    AUI_TB_GRIPPER

    Shows a gripper on the AuiToolBar

    AUI_TB_OVERFLOW

    The AuiToolBar can contain overflow items

    AUI_TB_VERTICAL

    The AuiToolBar is vertical

    AUI_TB_HORZ_LAYOUT

    Shows the text and the icons alongside, not vertically stacked. This style must be used with AUI_TB_TEXT

    AUI_TB_PLAIN_BACKGROUND

    Don’t draw a gradient background on the toolbar

    AUI_TB_HORZ_TEXT

    Combination of AUI_TB_HORZ_LAYOUT and AUI_TB_TEXT

    The default value for agwStyle is: AUI_TB_DEFAULT_STYLE = 0



AddCheckTool(self, tool_id, label, bitmap, disabled_bitmap, short_help_string="", long_help_string="", client_data=None)

Adds a new check (or toggle) tool to the AuiToolBar.

See also

AddTool for an explanation of the input parameters.



AddControl(self, control, label="")

Adds any control to the toolbar, typically e.g. a ComboBox.

Parameters
  • control (wx.Window) – the control to be added;

  • label (string) – the label which appears if the control goes into the overflow items in the toolbar.



AddLabel(self, tool_id, label="", width=0)

Adds a label tool to the AuiToolBar.

Parameters
  • tool_id (integer) – an integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations;

  • label (string) – the toolbar tool label;

  • width (integer) – the tool width.



AddRadioTool(self, tool_id, label, bitmap, disabled_bitmap, short_help_string="", long_help_string="", client_data=None)

Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.

Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released. You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.

Note

By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.

See also

AddTool for an explanation of the input parameters.
