Problem using wxPython

[somialis]

I did a test:

#Boa:Frame:Frame2

import wx

def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)

[wxID_FRAME1, wxID_FRAME1PANEL1, wxID_FRAME1TEXTCTRL1,
] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(3)]

class Frame1(wx.Frame):
    def _init_sizers(self):
        # generated method, don't edit
        self.boxSizer1 = wx.BoxSizer(orient=wx.VERTICAL)

        self._init_coll_boxSizer1_Items(self.boxSizer1)

        self.SetSizer(self.boxSizer1)


    def _init_coll_boxSizer1_Items(self, parent):
        # generated method, don't edit

        parent.AddWindow(self.panel1, 1, border=0, flag=wx.EXPAND)

    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        # generated method, don't edit
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, id=wxID_FRAME1, name='', parent=prnt, pos=wx.Point(22, 22),
                size=wx.Size(400, 250), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, title='Frame1')
        self.SetClientSize(wx.Size(392, 223))

        self.panel1 = wx.Panel(id=wxID_FRAME1PANEL1, name='panel1', parent=self, pos=wx.Point(0, 0),
                size=wx.Size(392, 223), style=wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)

        self.textCtrl1 = wx.TextCtrl(id=wxID_FRAME1TEXTCTRL1, name='textCtrl1', parent=self.panel1,
                pos=wx.Point(16, 72), size=wx.Size(360, 21), style=0, value='')

        self._init_sizers()

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

#!/usr/bin/env python
#Boa:App:BoaApp

import wx

import Frame2

modules ={u'Frame2': [1, 'Main frame of Application', u'Frame2.py']}

class BoaApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        self.main = Frame2.create(None)
        ## this is NOT good OOP encapulation, but it works ##
        self.main.textCtrl1.SetValue('this is a test')
        #                                                   #
        self.main.Show()
        self.SetTopWindow(self.main)
        return True

def main():
    application = BoaApp(0)
    application.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I can set the TextCtrl Value while the app is being initialized.

Hi,
This does not serve my purpose. I want to set some value in a box thru my script which wud have ,otherwise,been set by clicking on a browse tab and then selecting a file by a mouse click.

It may not serve your purpose, but it shows you that you should be able to set the Value of a TextCtrl from outside the frame that creates it.

And since you have not provided the frame to work on, this is the best that I could whip up in order to show you.

This may be of interest to you:
wxApp::argv
wxChar ** argv

Command line arguments (after environment-specific processing).

That's awesome. I am SO glad that you got it working.

Thanks for the update,
