I have a button in wxpython for which I have bound EVT_LEFT_DOWN and EVT_LEFT_UP

  • 0

I have a button in wxpython for which I have bound EVT_LEFT_DOWN and EVT_LEFT_UP. I need to know explicitly when it is pressed and released, that’s why I’m not using EVT_BUTTON.

The events work fine, the problem is just aesthetic: when I bind EVT_LEFT_DOWN and EVT_LEFT_UP the button no longer exhibits the normal appearance of being pressed (shaded and indented).

Is there any way to explicitly know when a button is pressed and released but also preserve its default appearance behavior?

    So I found a solution for this.

    If I call event.Skip() in my handlers for EVT_LEFT_DOWN and EVT_LEFT_UP it seems to propagate the event such that the default button appearance behavior is restored.
