wxPython Error
 

When I run this code:

import wx



ID_FILE_QUIT = 101



class MainFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, title):

        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, title=title)

        self.menuBar = wx.MenuBar()

        self.fileMenu = wx.Menu()

        self.fileMenu.Append(1, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.Close(), id=ID_FILE_QUIT)

        self.menuBar.Append(self.fileMenu, '&File')

        self.SetMenuBar(self.menuBar)

        self.Show()



app = wx.App()

frame = MainFrame('Ya Mum')

app.MainLoop()

I get some error about expecting a callable object for self.Bind()?

Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Re: wxPython Error
 

self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.Close(), id=ID_FILE_QUIT)

Theres ya problem!
You dont need to put the brackets after self.Close, the brackets are only used if you actually want to call the function, so take out those brackets and try again. That hopefully should fix your dilemma.

If paulthom12345's suggestion does not fix your problem, try to bind this way:

import wx



ID_FILE_QUIT = 101



class MainFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, title):

        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, title=title)

        self.menuBar = wx.MenuBar()

        self.fileMenu = wx.Menu()

        self.fileMenu.Append(ID_FILE_QUIT, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.quit, id=ID_FILE_QUIT)

        self.menuBar.Append(self.fileMenu, '&File')

        self.SetMenuBar(self.menuBar)

        self.Show()

        

    def quit(self, event):

        self.Close(True)





app = wx.App()

frame = MainFrame('Ya Mum')

app.MainLoop()

Forgot to mention this, but I also corrected line 10 to:

self.fileMenu.Append(ID_FILE_QUIT, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

Re: wxPython Error
 

Thanks guys, it turns out that I had to only put the function name, not call the function. :)

Re: wxPython Error
 

Better test it, that won't work!

Re: wxPython Error
 

Why not? It worked for me when I tested his code... and there's nothing wrong with his binding as I added another menu item with a separate function and ID and that still worked without conflict.

here is what I got:

File "c:\Users\Elijah Ministries\Desktop\daniweb.py", line 17, in <module>
frame = MainFrame('Ya Mum')
File "c:\Users\Elijah Ministries\Desktop\daniweb.py", line 11, in __init__
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.Close(), id=ID_FILE_QUIT)
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_core.py", line 3911, in Bind
event.Bind(self, id, id2, handler)
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_core.py", line 3985, in Bind
target.Connect(id1, id2, et, function)
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_core.py", line 3868, in Connect
return _core_.EvtHandler_Connect(*args, **kwargs)

Re: wxPython Error
 

I wonder how it runs on you!
What version of wxPython do you have?

Re: wxPython Error
 

If you were to take the most updated code, you'd see that it works. This is what Lardmeister posted:

import wx



ID_FILE_QUIT = 101



class MainFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, title):

        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, title=title)

        self.menuBar = wx.MenuBar()

        self.fileMenu = wx.Menu()

        self.fileMenu.Append(ID_FILE_QUIT, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.quit, id=ID_FILE_QUIT)

        self.menuBar.Append(self.fileMenu, '&File')

        self.SetMenuBar(self.menuBar)

        self.Show()

        

    def quit(self, event):

        self.Close(True)





app = wx.App()

frame = MainFrame('Ya Mum')

app.MainLoop()

Which tom tetlaw acknowledged as he said "all I need to do is put the function name, not call the function". This is what we're doing by binding the function self.quit, rather than self.quit().
