[WxPython] Adding a Window to a Button wxPython

[ShashankDS]

Hey Guys, I'm new to Python Programming and have a major doubt about adding a window to a button inside the GUI. Could any of you guide me how and where I can add a window to a button? I'm a little unsure about the coding aspect as well. Here is the Current Code I'm using:

import wx
 
########################################################################
class MyForm(wx.Frame):
 
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, "Audiometer")
        panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY,size=(1000,600))
        self.SetBackgroundColour((255,255,255))#2nd input change - ShanksD
        self.Centre()#Change -ShanksD
        self.Show()#Change -ShanksD

        
        #self.buttonOne.SetPosition((20, 20))
        #self.buttonTwo.SetPosition((40, 40))
        #self.buttonThree.SetPosition((60, 60))
        #self.buttonFour.SetPosition((80, 80))
        #self.buttonFive.SetPosition((100, 100))
        #self.buttonSix.SetPosition((120, 120))
        #self.buttonSeven.SetPosition((140, 140))
 
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        buttonOne = wx.Button(panel, label="Frequency", name="Frequency")
        buttonTwo = wx.Button(panel, label="Volume", name="Volume")
        buttonThree = wx.Button(panel, label="Pulse Tone", name="Pulse Tone")
        buttonFour = wx.Button(panel, label="Mask", name="Mask")
        buttonFive = wx.Button(panel, label="Air Bone", name="Air Bone")
        buttonSix = wx.Button(panel, label="Test Select", name="Test Select")
        buttonSeven = wx.Button(panel, label="INT", name="INT")
                              
        buttons = [buttonOne, buttonTwo, buttonThree,buttonFour, buttonFive,buttonSix,buttonSeven]
 
        for button in buttons:
            self.buildButtons(button, sizer)
 
        panel.SetSizer(sizer)
 
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def buildButtons(self, btn, sizer):
        """"""
        btn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onButton)
        sizer.Add(btn, 10, wx.ALL,37 )#Do not Change the VA=alue
 
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def onButton(self, event):
        """
        This method is fired when its corresponding button is pressed
        """
        button = event.GetEventObject()
        print ("The button you pressed was labeled  ") + button.GetLabel()
        print ("The button's name is ") + button.GetName()
 
        button_id = event.GetId()
        button_by_id = self.FindWindowById(button_id)
        print ("The button you pressed was labeled: ") + button_by_id.GetLabel()
        print ("The button's name is ") + button_by_id.GetName()
 
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run the program
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App(False)
    frame = MyForm()
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

Not sure, but in my understanding of what you are asking, for when button pressed, new tkinter window will popup, right? If it is that, the code is below.

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def new_winF(): # new window definition
    newwin = Toplevel(root)
    display = Label(newwin, text="Humm, see a new window !")
    display.pack()    

button1 =Button(root, text ="open new window", command =new_winF) #command linked
button1.pack()

root.mainloop()

I'm not sure what type of window your looking for but I've added the creation of a dialog window to the following code.

import wx
  
########################################################################
class MyForm(wx.Frame):
  
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, "Audiometer")
        panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY,size=(1000,600))
        self.SetBackgroundColour((255,255,255))#2nd input change - ShanksD
        self.Centre()#Change -ShanksD
        self.Show()#Change -ShanksD
 
         
        #self.buttonOne.SetPosition((20, 20))
        #self.buttonTwo.SetPosition((40, 40))
        #self.buttonThree.SetPosition((60, 60))
        #self.buttonFour.SetPosition((80, 80))
        #self.buttonFive.SetPosition((100, 100))
        #self.buttonSix.SetPosition((120, 120))
        #self.buttonSeven.SetPosition((140, 140))
  
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        buttonOne = wx.Button(panel, label="Frequency", name="Frequency")
        buttonTwo = wx.Button(panel, label="Volume", name="Volume")
        buttonThree = wx.Button(panel, label="Pulse Tone", name="Pulse Tone")
        buttonFour = wx.Button(panel, label="Mask", name="Mask")
        buttonFive = wx.Button(panel, label="Air Bone", name="Air Bone")
        buttonSix = wx.Button(panel, label="Test Select", name="Test Select")
        buttonSeven = wx.Button(panel, label="INT", name="INT")
                               
        buttons = [buttonOne, buttonTwo, buttonThree,buttonFour, buttonFive,buttonSix,buttonSeven]
  
        for button in buttons:
            self.buildButtons(button, sizer)
  
        panel.SetSizer(sizer)
        panel.Layout() # Added to make the sizer layout it's controls
