Instance Method Details

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

Create a new application object, starting the bootstrap process.

Returns:
PyApp
Overrides:
wx.EvtHandler.__init__

Dispatch(self)

Process the first event in the event queue (blocks until an event appears if there are none currently)

Returns:
bool

Exit(self)

Exit the main loop thus terminating the application. :see: wx.Exit

ExitMainLoop(self)

Exit the main GUI loop during the next iteration of the main loop, (i.e. it does not stop the program immediately!)

GetAppName(self)

Get the application name.

Returns:
String

GetAssertMode(self)

Get the current OnAssert behaviour setting.

Returns:
int

GetClassName(self)

Get the application's class name.

Returns:
String
Overrides:
wx.Object.GetClassName

GetExitOnFrameDelete(self)

Get the current exit behaviour setting.

Returns:
bool

GetTopWindow(self)

Return the main top level window (if it hadn't been set previously with SetTopWindow(), will return just some top level window and, if there not any, will return None)

Returns:
Window

GetTraits(self)

Return (and create if necessary) the app traits object to which we delegate for everything which either should be configurable by the user (then he can change the default behaviour simply by overriding CreateTraits() and returning his own traits object) or which is GUI/console dependent as then wx.AppTraits allows us to abstract the differences behind the common facade.

Returns:
wxAppTraits

To Do:

Add support for overriding CreateAppTraits in wxPython.

GetUseBestVisual(self)

Get current UseBestVisual setting.

Returns:
bool

GetVendorName(self)

Get the application's vendor name.

Returns:
String

IsActive(self)

Return True if our app has focus.

Returns:
bool

MainLoop(self)

Execute the main GUI loop, the function doesn't normally return until all top level windows have been closed and destroyed.

Returns:
int

Pending(self)

Returns True if there are unprocessed events in the event queue.

Returns:
bool

ProcessIdle(self)

Called from the MainLoop when the application becomes idle (there are no pending events) and sends a wx.IdleEvent to all interested parties. Returns True if more idle events are needed, False if not.

Returns:
bool

ProcessPendingEvents(self)

Process all events in the Pending Events list -- it is necessary to call this function to process posted events. This normally happens during each event loop iteration.

Overrides:
wx.EvtHandler.ProcessPendingEvents

SendIdleEvents(self, win, event)

Send idle event to window and all subwindows. Returns True if more idle time is requested.

Parameters:
win
           (type=Window)

event
           (type=IdleEvent)

Returns:
bool

SetAppName(self, name)

Set the application name. This value may be used automatically by wx.Config and such.

Parameters:
name
           (type=String)

SetAssertMode(self, mode)

Set the OnAssert behaviour for debug and hybrid builds.The following flags may be or'd together:

wx.PYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS Don't do anything
wx.PYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION Turn it into a Python exception if possible (default)
wx.PYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG Display a message dialog
wx.PYAPP_ASSERT_LOG Write the assertion info to the wx.Log
Parameters:
mode
           (type=int)

SetClassName(self, name)

Set the application's class name. This value may be used for X-resources if applicable for the platform

Parameters:
name
           (type=String)

SetExitOnFrameDelete(self, flag)

Control the exit behaviour: by default, the program will exit the main loop (and so, usually, terminate) when the last top-level program window is deleted. Beware that if you disable this behaviour (with SetExitOnFrameDelete(False)), you'll have to call ExitMainLoop() explicitly from somewhere.

Parameters:
flag
           (type=bool)

SetTopWindow(self, win)

Set the main top level window

Parameters:
win
           (type=Window)

SetUseBestVisual(self, flag)

Set whether the app should try to use the best available visual on systems where more than one is available, (Sun, SGI, XFree86 4, etc.)

Parameters:
flag
           (type=bool)

SetVendorName(self, name)

Set the application's vendor name. This value may be used automatically by wx.Config and such.

Parameters:
name
           (type=String)

WakeUpIdle(self)

Make sure that idle events are sent again. :see: wx.WakeUpIdle

Yield(self, onlyIfNeeded=False)

Process all currently pending events right now, instead of waiting until return to the event loop. It is an error to call Yield recursively unless the value of onlyIfNeeded is True.

Parameters:
onlyIfNeeded
           (type=bool)

Returns:
bool

Warning:

This function is dangerous as it can lead to unexpected reentrancies (i.e. when called from an event handler it may result in calling the same event handler again), use with extreme care or, better, don't use at all!

wx.Yield, wx.YieldIfNeeded, wx.SafeYield


Static Method Details

GetComCtl32Version()

Returns 400, 470, 471, etc. for comctl32.dll 4.00, 4.70, 4.71 or 0 if it wasn't found at all. Raises an exception on non-Windows platforms.

Returns:
int

IsMainLoopRunning()

Returns True if we're running the main loop, i.e. if the events can currently be dispatched.

Returns:
bool
