wxPython - EnableTool() function in wx.Toolbar

In wxPython, the wx.Toolbar class provides a method called EnableTool(), which is used to enable or disable a tool (i.e., button) on the toolbar. This can be useful in situations where you want to dynamically activate or deactivate certain functionalities based on user input or other conditions.

Here's a simple usage of the EnableTool() function with a toolbar:

  • First, make sure you have wxPython installed:
pip install wxPython
  • Create a basic application with a toolbar and use EnableTool():
import wx class MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self, *args, **kw): super(MyFrame, self).__init__(*args, **kw) # Create a toolbar self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar() # Add a tool to the toolbar self.tool1 = self.toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, 'Tool1', wx.Bitmap(16, 16), shortHelp='Tool 1') self.tool2 = self.toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, 'Tool2', wx.Bitmap(16, 16), shortHelp='Tool 2') # Add a separator and a button to enable/disable the second tool self.toolbar.AddSeparator() self.btn_enable = self.toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, 'Enable Tool2', wx.Bitmap(16, 16), shortHelp='Enable Tool 2') self.btn_disable = self.toolbar.AddTool(wx.ID_ANY, 'Disable Tool2', wx.Bitmap(16, 16), shortHelp='Disable Tool 2') # Bind the tools to events self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.on_enable_tool, self.btn_enable) self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.on_disable_tool, self.btn_disable) self.toolbar.Realize() def on_enable_tool(self, event): self.toolbar.EnableTool(self.tool2.GetId(), True) def on_disable_tool(self, event): self.toolbar.EnableTool(self.tool2.GetId(), False) if __name__ == '__main__': app = wx.App(False) frame = MyFrame(None, title='wx.Toolbar EnableTool Example', size=(300, 200)) frame.Show() app.MainLoop()

In the above example:

  • We've created a toolbar with two tools (tool1 and tool2).
  • We've added two more tools (btn_enable and btn_disable) to enable and disable tool2.
  • The on_enable_tool and on_disable_tool methods use EnableTool() to change the enabled state of tool2.

When you run this code, you'll see a window with a toolbar. You can click "Enable Tool2" and "Disable Tool2" to toggle the enabled state of the second tool.
