Creating subclass for wx.TextCtrl

Question

I\'m creating a subclass for the wx.TextCtrl in wxpython.

I want this class to add extra data to the wx.TextCtrl widgets similar as to the way extra data can be added to

Answer 1

import wx
class ExtraDataForTxtCtrl(wx.TextCtrl):

    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        self.ExtraTextData=kwargs.pop("ExtraTextData")
        wx.TextCtrl.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)


    def getExtraTCData(self):
        return self.ExtraTextData

    def setExtraTCData(self, ExtraTextData):
        self.ExtraTextData=ExtraTextData

possibly a better solution would be to use set/getattr

class DataTxtCtrl(wx.TextCtrl):

    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        self.datadict = {}
        self.ExtraTextData=kwargs.pop("ExtraTextData")
        wx.TextCtrl.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)
    def __getattr__(self,attr):
        return self.datadict[attr]
    def __setattr__(self,attr,val):
        self.datadict[attr]=val

then you can set many variables and use it like normal

   a = wx.App(redirect=False)
   f = wx.Dialog(None,-1,"Example")
   te = DataTxtCtrl(f,-1,"some_default")
   te.somevar = "hello"
   te.someother = "world"
   print te.somevar+" "+te.someothervar
   f.ShowModal()
