Question

just a simple question on a wx.TextCtrl element.
i have this text field where on an application, where the user can add a string on it.
i want a text field with a red text on it.
so i’ve generated this code:

self.hRepositoryTextfield = wx.TextCtrl(self.hPanel)
self.hRepositoryTextfield.SetDefaultStyle(wx.TextAttr(wx.RED))

if the user copy on this text field some string with applied font on it (for example a black coloured string, or a string with a particular font) the red color, anyway the default style is not respected.
i would like the style i decide for my wx.TextCtrl is always forced according my settings.
how can i do?

thank you in advance

Answer 1

i solved the problem in this way:

in the first part of the code it is defined my textfield style…

self.hRepositoryTextfield.SetStyle(0, len(self.hRepositoryTextfield.GetValue()), wx.TextAttr(wx.RED))
self.hRepositoryTextfield.SetFont(self.hFontLabel)
self.hRepositoryTextfield.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT, self.forceDefaultStyle)

… then i bind every text change to my forcing-style function:

def forceDefaultStyle(self, event):
    hEventObject = event.GetEventObject()
    hEventObject.SetStyle(0, len(self.hRepositoryTextfield.GetValue()), wx.TextAttr(wx.RED))
    hEventObject.SetFont(self.hFontLabel)

and it works!
