    wx Python event question

    Hi I really haven't used wxPython before and I was just wondering if
    there was some sort of timer event that can be used. For example if I
    have a database that I want to query at regular intervals and display
    the results in a window is that possibly to do under a wx Python
    program?

    So far I have come across certain event handlers, but they all seem to
    wait for something to happen, like moving the mouse, clicking on a
    button etc. I just want to display the results of a query every so
    often automatically without having to press a button to do so.

    I'm not looking for a complete solution as I'm doing this so I can
    teach myself Python, but a bit of a hint or a nudge in the right
    direction would be great.

      use wx.Timer - you bind a method to a timer event and define the
      timer's interval when you start it

      timer = wx.Timer(self, -1)
      self.Bind(wx.EV T_TIMER, self.timerMetho d, timer)
      timer.Start(500 )
