What is the easiest way to create a formatted window in wxPython?

Question

I would like to create a simple window shape in wxPython. More or less, I want to make the wx equivalent for Tkinter self.overrideredirect (1) (it gets rid of the standard OS server), and then at the corners in the window.

Answer 1

The wxPython demo has a formal demonstration of frames. I apologize for the indirect source. They were originally window installers here :

source

shape_frame_mobile.py shape_frame.py, images.py . overrideredirect, , - .

, wx.EVT_PAINT:

def SetWindowShape(self, evt=None):
    r = wx.RegionFromBitmap(self.bmp)
    self.hasShape = self.SetShape(r)

def OnPaint(self, evt):
    dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
    dc.DrawBitmap(self.bmp, 0,0, True)

- shaped_frame_mobile.py, .png , IMAGE_PATH. , :

import wx

# Create a .png image with something drawn on a white background
# and put the path to it here.
IMAGE_PATH = '/python26/projects/shapedwin/image.png'


class ShapedFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "Shaped Window",
                style = wx.FRAME_SHAPED | wx.SIMPLE_BORDER )
        self.hasShape = False
        self.delta = wx.Point(0,0)

        # Load the image
        image = wx.Image(IMAGE_PATH, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
        image.SetMaskColour(255,255,255)
        image.SetMask(True)            
        self.bmp = wx.BitmapFromImage(image)

        self.SetClientSize((self.bmp.GetWidth(), self.bmp.GetHeight()))
        dc = wx.ClientDC(self)
        dc.DrawBitmap(self.bmp, 0,0, True)
        self.SetWindowShape()
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.OnDoubleClick)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnLeftDown)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, self.OnLeftUp)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MOTION, self.OnMouseMove)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_RIGHT_UP, self.OnExit)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_WINDOW_CREATE, self.SetWindowShape)

    def SetWindowShape(self, evt=None):
        r = wx.RegionFromBitmap(self.bmp)
        self.hasShape = self.SetShape(r)

    def OnDoubleClick(self, evt):
        if self.hasShape:
            self.SetShape(wx.Region())
            self.hasShape = False
        else:
            self.SetWindowShape()

    def OnPaint(self, evt):
        dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
        dc.DrawBitmap(self.bmp, 0,0, True)

    def OnExit(self, evt):
        self.Close()

    def OnLeftDown(self, evt):
        self.CaptureMouse()
        pos = self.ClientToScreen(evt.GetPosition())
        origin = self.GetPosition()
        self.delta = wx.Point(pos.x - origin.x, pos.y - origin.y)

    def OnMouseMove(self, evt):
        if evt.Dragging() and evt.LeftIsDown():
            pos = self.ClientToScreen(evt.GetPosition())
            newPos = (pos.x - self.delta.x, pos.y - self.delta.y)
            self.Move(newPos)

    def OnLeftUp(self, evt):
        if self.HasCapture():
            self.ReleaseMouse()

    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    ShapedFrame().Show()
    app.MainLoop()
