In this snippet we are playing around with wxPython's buttons, showing you how to bind the mouse click event, enable and disable, show and hide the buttons. Each button also has a tool-tip (hint) associated with itself.

# create a wx frame with 6 wx buttons and optional tooltips
# hide/disable and show/enable the buttons as they are clicked
# also show right-click and double-click events
# tested with Python24 and wxPython26 by    vegaseat   29may2006
