Class API¶

class wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler(Object)¶

Possible constructors:

XmlResourceHandler() -> None

SizerXmlHandler is a class for resource handlers capable of creating a Sizer object from an XML node.

Methods¶

__init__(self)¶

Default constructor.

Return type:: None

AddStyle(self, name, value)¶

Add a style flag (e.g.

MB_DOCKABLE ) to the list of flags understood by this handler.

Parameters:

name (string)
value (int)

Return type:

None

AddWindowStyles(self)¶

Add styles common to all Window-derived classes.

Return type:: None

CanHandle(self, node)¶

Returns True if it understands this node and can create a resource from it, False otherwise.

Parameters:: node (wx.xml.XmlNode)
Return type:: bool

Note

You must not call any wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler methods except IsOfClass from this method! The instance is not yet initialized with node data at the time CanHandle is called and it is only safe to operate on node directly or to call IsOfClass .

CreateChildren(self, parent, this_hnd_only=False)¶

Creates children.

Parameters:

parent (wx.Object)
this_hnd_only (bool)

Return type:

None

CreateChildrenPrivately(self, parent, rootnode=None)¶

Helper function.

Parameters:

parent (wx.Object)
rootnode (wx.xml.XmlNode)

Return type:

None

CreateResFromNode(self, node, parent, instance=None)¶

Creates a resource from a node.

Parameters:

node (wx.xml.XmlNode)
parent (wx.Object)
instance (wx.Object)

Return type:

wx.Object

CreateResource(self, node, parent, instance)¶

Creates an object (menu, dialog, control, …) from an XML node.

Should check for validity. parent is a higher-level object (usually window, dialog or panel) that is often necessary to create the resource.

If instance is not None it should not create a new instance via ‘new’ but should rather use this one, and call its Create method.

Parameters:

node (wx.xml.XmlNode)
parent (wx.Object)
instance (wx.Object)

Return type:

wx.Object

DoCreateResource(self)¶

Called from CreateResource after variables were filled.

GetAnimation(self, param='animation', ctrl=None)¶

Creates an animation (see wx.adv.Animation) from the filename specified in param.

It is recommended to provide ctrl argument to this function (which is only available in wxWidgets 3.1.4 or later) to make sure that the created animation is compatible with the specified control, otherwise a wx.adv.Animation object compatible with the default wx.adv.AnimationCtrl implementation is created.
