tabbing between textctrl's

[askalottaqs]

in all my research everyone is saying that pressing tab by default gets u to the next textctrl, but when i try to do that, i get the error sound "ting", and it doesn't, what is a way to have the tab navigate through textctrls?

another thing is that the cursor is not on the first textctrl by default, is there a way to set it in the Frame?

thank you all

I feel that it might be easier to help you if you can show us some example code.

def addLocationEvent(event):
	
	global addLocationDlg
	addLocationDlg = wx.Frame(loginFrame, -1, "Add Location", size=(450, 550), style=wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE)        
	
	addLocationDlg.SetBackgroundColour("")
	#TextBox 
	targetTX = wx.StaticText(addLocationDlg ,-1,"Enter Location Information:", pos = (20,20))
	
	
	global ownerTF
	ownerTF = wx.TextCtrl(addLocationDlg,-1,"", (150,270),size =(180,20),style = wx.TE_LEFT | wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB)
	
	addPhotoBT = wx.Button(addLocationDlg,-1,'Browse',pos = (220,365), size = (60,30))
	addPhotoBT.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,pickPhotoEvent,addPhotoBT)
	
	global photoAddressTF
	photoAddressTF = wx.TextCtrl(addLocationDlg,-1,"", (20,370),size =(180,20),style = wx.TE_LEFT)
	
	
	
	addLocationBT = wx.Button(addLocationDlg,-1,'-Add-',pos = (20,410), size = (50,50))
	addLocationBT.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON,addLocEvent,addLocationBT)
	
	addLocationDlg.Show(True)

it's just a traditional old dialog, nothing too special about it, and the problem also exists in frames not only dialogues

please help?

thanks

I'm not entirely positive but I think this has much to do with your other question about classes. And it makes it a little difficult to answer your question. Take a look at this code and I think you will understand the differences.

Note this isn't perfect code (what is really?) but it should suffice as an example.

I hope it helps!

import wx

class AddLocationDlg(wx.Dialog):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
                 size=wx.DefaultSize, style=wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE):
        # Init the dialog class
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size, style)

        # Init our controls, note global is replaced by naming objects
        # with 'self.', also the parent argument is 'self' as opposed to
        # 'AddLocationDlg'
        self.SetBackgroundColour("")
        targetTX = wx.StaticText(self ,-1,"Enter Location Information:",
                                 pos=(20,20))
        self.ownerTF = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "", (150,270), size=(180, 20),
                                   style=wx.TE_LEFT | wx.TE_PROCESS_TAB)
        self.photoAddressTF = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "", (20, 370),
                                          size=(180,20), style=wx.TE_LEFT)
        self.addPhotoBT = wx.Button(self, -1, 'Browse', pos =(220, 365),
                                    size=(60,30)) 
        self.addLocationBT = wx.Button(self, -1, '-Add-', pos=(20,410),
                                       size=(50,50))
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)

    def OnButton(self, event):
        # Handle Button events for the dialog here.
        pass

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, \
                 size=wx.DefaultSize, style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE):
        # Init the frame class
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size, style)

        # Create a button and bind the event.
        self.btn = wx.Button(self, -1, "Show Dialog!")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)

    def OnButton(self, event):
        # If the ID of the button causing the event is the ID of
        # self.btn, then show the dialog.
        if event.GetId() == self.btn.GetId():
            self.addLocationEvent()
            
    def addLocationEvent(self):
        dlg = AddLocationDlg(self, -1, "Add Location", size=(450, 550))
        dlg.Show()
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    mainframe = MainFrame(None, -1, "Test", size=(225, 200))
    mainframe.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
