[wxPython] I'd like to catch mouse click events within a textcontrol

[F. GEIGER]

Thanks for the info, Cliff, and for the sample code. Perfect.

Stupid me: After all a textCtrl is a window...

Kind regards
Franz

Those events are specific to the wxTextCtrl, but you can also use the
events that are common to *all* controls:

from wxPython.wx import *

class ClickableText(wxTextCtrl):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wxTextCtrl.__init__(self, parent, id)
        EVT_LEFT_DOWN(self, self.OnClick)

    def OnClick(self, event):
        print event.GetX(), event.GetY()
        raise SystemExit

app = wxPySimpleApp()

frame = wxDialog(None, -1, "Test")
text = ClickableText(frame, -1)
frame.ShowModal()
