Move windows without title bar (wxPython)

[analfabete]

Hi evrebody!
Currently I am using wxPython to make my own program !
My program have no taskbar so I would like to know how to do this:
When an user click on right mouse button, and he keep down this button , he can move the program windows anywhere.

I have this:

self.Bind(wx.EVT_RIGHT_DOWN, self.OnMoveFen)

So I don't know how to write OnMoveFen function... Can you help me please ?
Thank you :-)

EDIT: Can you delete this topic, I do an error

I'm guessing that you mean "title bar"...

I'd say that you probably want to catch

EVT_MOTION

Then, in the handler:[CODE=python]if event.m_leftDow n:
x, y = event.GetPositi on()[/CODE]Then calculate the new position of the window based on the difference from the last motion event. You could later limit the area of the window that responds this way (or not).

So I have do this:

    
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MOTION , self.OnMoveFen)

def OnMoveFen(self, event):
        if wx.MouseEvent.LeftIsDown == True:
            pt = wx.Point
            self.Move(pt)

But when I push down my left button nothing do... can you help me please...

Hopefully, this example will help you learn some of the fundamentals of OOP and event programming. You really need a basic understanding of object creation and have fallen into some basic misunderstandin gs.[CODE=python]#Boa:Frame:Fram e1

import wx

def create(parent):
return Frame1(parent)

[wxID_FRAME1] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(1)]

class Frame1(wx.Frame ):
def _init_ctrls(sel f, prnt):
# generated method, don't edit
wx.Frame.__init __(self, id=wxID_FRAME1, name='', parent=prnt, pos=wx.Point(22 , 22),

def __init__(self, parent):

self.lastMouseP os = wx.Point(0, 0)


def OnFrame1Motion( self, event):
if event.LeftIsDow n():
x, y = event.GetPositi on()
deltaX = x - self.lastMouseP os[0]
deltaY = y - self.lastMouseP os[1]
self.lastMouseP os = wx.Point(x, y)
x, y = self.GetPositio n()
self.Move(wx.Po int(x + deltaX, y + deltaY))
event.Skip()

def OnFrame1LeftDow n(self, event):
self.lastMouseP os = event.GetPositi on()
event.Skip()


if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.PySimpleApp( )
frame = create(None)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
[/CODE]It's a little rough around the edges, but contains the basic idea.

I realize this is 7 years old, but in case someone else comes across this, an improvement on the implementation above is the following:

import wx
 
def create(parent):
    return Frame1(parent)
 
[wxID_FRAME1] = [wx.NewId() for _init_ctrls in range(1)]
 
class Frame1(wx.Frame):
    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.NO_BORDER, title='Frame1')
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MOTION, self.OnFrame1Motion)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnFrame1LeftDown)
 
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)
        self.lastMousePos = wx.Point(0, 0)

    def OnFrame1Motion(self, event):
        if event.LeftIsDown():
            windowX = self.lastMousePos[0]
            windowY = self.lastMousePos[1]
            screenX = wx.GetMousePosition()[0]
            screenY = wx.GetMousePosition()[1]
            self.Move(wx.Point(screenX - windowX, screenY - windowY))
        event.Skip()
 
    def OnFrame1LeftDown(self, event):
        self.lastMousePos = event.GetPosition()
        event.Skip()

    def closeWindow(self, e):
        self.Destroy() #prevent memory leak
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    frame = create(None)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

This now drags the window correctly, and at the same speed the mouse moves. Consider adding an 'x' button or option to close the window for the user. Alt-F4 on windows will close it in its current state.
