Marquee style progressbar in wxPython
- by Mridang Agarwalla
Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to implement a marquee style progress bar in wxPython? As stated on MSDN:
you can animate it in a way that shows
activity but does not indicate what
proportion of the task is complete.
Thank you.
I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. The timer ticks but the gauge doesn't scroll. Any help?
import wx
import time
class MyForm(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, "Timer Tutorial 1",
size=(500,500))
# Add a panel so it looks the correct on all platforms
panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.update, self.timer)
self.gauProgress = wx.Gauge(panel, range=1000, pos=(30, 50), size=(440, 20))
self.toggleBtn = wx.Button(panel, wx.ID_ANY, "Start")
self.toggleBtn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onToggle)
def onToggle(self, event):
btnLabel = self.toggleBtn.GetLabel()
if btnLabel == "Start":
print "starting timer..."
self.timer.Start(1000)
self.toggleBtn.SetLabel("Stop")
else:
print "timer stopped!"
self.timer.Stop()
self.toggleBtn.SetLabel("Start")
def update(self, event):
print "\nupdated: ",
print time.ctime()
self.gauProgress.Pulse()
# Run the program
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = MyForm().Show()
app.MainLoop()
