Question

Ok guys, I’m really new at python (and programming itself) so sorry for my ignorance, but I really needed to ask this.
So im doing a wxPython project where I added several tabs for a notebook (each tab of the notebook = a class) and there is one tab where I added a checkbox (in a tab, lets call it for example Tab1), and what I want is that when someone checks it, a button that exists in other tab (class called for example tab2) gets hidden where previously it was being shown.

Well I see that it isn’t hard to accomplish this, but my problem is the classes (tab1 and tab2, in this example). I’ve been trying to figure it out by searching but I guess im not searching hard enough because I just can’t get it right. If they were in the same class I wouldn’t have a problem, but as they are in different classes, im having a huge struggle with this.

Hope someone can help me, and sorry for my ignorance once again.

EDIT: Sorry guys wasn’t being shown/hidden, but rather being enabled/disabled.

class Tab2(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
    .....
        self.jaddbutton = wx.Button(self,-1, label ="Button", size = (160,24))
        self.jaddbutton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.jaddbuttonclick, self.jaddbutton)
    def jaddbuttonclick(self, event):
        ....
class Tab1(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.jdcheck = wx.CheckBox(self, -1, 'Disable')
        self.jdcheck.Bind(wx.EVT_CHECKBOX, self.checkoptions, self.jdcheck)
    def checkoptions(self,event):
        checkboxval = self.jdcheck.GetValue()
        if checkboxval == False:
            self.jaddbutton.Disable() # This is what I want to do but it is on the other class

        else:
            self.jaddbutton.Enable() # Same as above

class TextFrame(wx.Frame):
   def __init__(self):
       p = wx.Panel(self)
       self.nb = wx.Notebook(p, size = (750, 332))
       #Tabs
       tab1 = Tab1(self.nb)
       tab2 = Tab2(self.nb)
       self.nb.AddPage(tab1, "ssomething")
       self.nb.AddPage(tab2, "somethingr")

Answer 1

In the tabs’ __init__, save the parent reference (the notebook):

class Tab1(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.parent = parent
        ...etc, etc...

Then, self.parent.GetPage(x) lets you access the x-th page (i.e., tab) of the notebook from any other page (tab). So instead of self.jaddbutton.Disable() etc, you’d be using, e.g.:

othertab = self.parent.GetPage(1)
othertab.jaddbutton.Disable()

and so forth.
