The wxPython tutorial

Drag and drop in wxPythonhttp://www.zetcode.com/wxpython/draganddrop/example, deleting a file by dragging it and droping it to the trash basket is veryintuitive and easy to understand, but actually most people just press the deletekey. (shift + delete) It is more effective. In our next example we explore agraphical operation, that is very handy. In most GUI text editors, you can open afile by simply dragging it from the file manager and dropping it on the editor.#!/usr/bin/python# filedrop.pyimport wxclass FileDrop(wx.FileDropTarget):def __init__(self, window):wx.FileDropTarget.__init__(self)self.window = windowdef OnDropFiles(self, x, y, filenames):for name in filenames:try:file = open(name, 'r')text = file.read()self.window.WriteText(text)file.close()except IOError, error:dlg = wx.MessageDialog(None, 'Error opening file\n' + str(error))dlg.ShowModal()except UnicodeDecodeError, error:dlg = wx.MessageDialog(None, 'Cannot open non ascii files\n' + str(error))dlg.ShowModal()class DropFile(wx.Frame):def __init__(self, parent, id, title):wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size = (450, 400))self.text = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, style = wx.TE_MULTILINE)dt = FileDrop(self.text)self.text.SetDropTarget(dt)self.Centre()self.Show(True)app = wx.App()DropFile(None, -1, 'filedrop.py')app.MainLoop()eXtreme ProgrammingAssistance Technique Java/J2ee, .Net/C#,Python, RubyPython Database InterfaceEasily connect Python to all your databases.mxodbc.egenix.comHome ‡ Contents ‡ Top of PageZetCode last modified June 28, 2007© 2007 Jan Bodnar3 de 3 27/04/2008 1:05
