CompBio

“run.py”⇒ Note that you should write like this to make compiler know the file is the main entrance of the program:

if __name__=='__main__':

import app
import Class
if __name__=='__main__':
    thisClass = Class.init()
    ...
    thisapp = app.App(...)
    thisapp.MainLoop()
 

“app.py”⇒Do not forget to import module wx .Two functions that must be overloaded:

import wx
import mainFrame
class App(wx.App):
    def __init__(self,redirect=False,...):
        ...
        wx.App.__init__(self,redirect,self.redirectFile,...)
 
    def OnInit(self):
        mainFrame = mainframe(parent=None,name='myprogram',...)
        mainFrame.Show(True)
        self.SetTopWindow(mainFrame)   # Set top window of this app, do not forget it!
        ... # initiate parameters or load configurations here
        return True

“mainFrame.py”⇒The main frame that used to initiate your app. This is the basic frame of our program which must exits. You can put menus, panels and all other controls/windows in it.

import wx
from panel1 import p1
from panel2 import p2
import ...
 
class mainFrame(wx.Frame):  # overwrite original class "wx.Frame"
    def __init__(self,parent,...):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,-1,name,style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & ~(wx.RESIZE_BORDER & wx.MAXIMIZE_BOX))
        self.setMenu()
        self.panel_1 = p1(self,-1,...)
        self.panel_2 = p2(self,-1,...)
 
    def setMenu(self):
        menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
        startmenu = wx.Menu()
        self.open = startmenu.Append(wx.ID_ANY,'O&pen')  # append menu selections to menu and return menu items
        startmenu.AppendSeparator()
        self.quit = startmenu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT,'&Quit')
        menuBar.Append(startmenu,'&Start')           # append menu to menubar
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.OnOpen,self.open)     # bind event handler to menu item
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.OnExit,quit)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_RIGHT_UP,self.OnRightClick)
        self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
 
    # Other functions and event handlers.
    ...
