Level: Beginner
I am developing a GUI with wxPython on Windows 7 OS. Python version is 2.7 ad wxPython version is 3. My GUI looks as shown in the image below:
I would like to take some time to explain what I am trying to achieve. As you mayhave noticed from the first image that there are 4 different scrolled panels in my GUI named as panel-1 to panel-4. A vertical BoxSizer is applied to each scrolled panel. Each scrolled panel in return contains a boxsizer and a horizontal wx.StaticLine. The reason for using horizontal line was to make it is easier for the user to read the values for a particular serial number. (It will be easy for an user to read all the values in different panels for a particular serial number.) Finally all these four scrolled panels are added to a horizontal BoxSizer named as panelSizer. Currently the scrolled panels are scrolling individually. One important thing is that all the scrolled panels will every time contain same number of components/elements.
Problem:
I need a way so that I can add all these scrolled panels to one sizer or a panel in such a way that there is only one scroll bar at right side and when I scroll this scrollbar all the scrolled panels (panel-1 to panel-4) should scroll simultaneously. I would like to have something like this:
I think this option is better from the GUI perspective. I have tried couple of things like, I created a new scrolled panel named as main panel, and applied the BoxSizer named as panelSizer (it contains all the panel from panel-1 to panel-4) using SetSizer() function, but the scroll bar doesn't appears, even the individual scroll bars doesn't appear! Also, I have checked that there are enough components in the panels so that scroll bars appears. I tried to change the four scrolled panels to simple panels and then add to the panelSizer and then applied the sizer to the main panel but nothing solved the problem..
Can anyone suggest what is wrong with my approach? Any suggestion. Thank you for your time.
Well I found the solution myself so here it goes.
I have to disable scrolling on the panels-1 to panel-4. This can be done by not using SetupScrolling() method on them. Also, the scrolling should be enabled on the mainPanel like this:
mainPanel.SetupScrolling()
For an example: Consider that you have two scrolled panels named as panel1 and panel2. Now if you want to add these two scrolled panels to an other scrolled panel named as mainPanel, then you first create these two scrolled panels and then disable scrolling on them then add these two panels two a sizer, then apply this sizer to the mainPanel. Code example:
mainPanel = wx.lib.scrolledpanel.ScrolledPanel(self, -1,style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)
mainPanel.SetupScrolling()
panel1 = wx.lib.scrolledpanel.ScrolledPanel(mainPanel, -1, style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)
panel2 = wx.lib.scrolledpanel.ScrolledPanel(mainPanel, -1, style=wx.SIMPLE_BORDER)
panelSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
panelSizer.Add(panel1)
panelSizer.Add(panel2)
mainPanel.SetSizer(panelSizer)
