#--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Name: wx.lib.evtmgr # Purpose: An easier, more "Pythonic" and more OO method of registering # handlers for wxWindows events using the Publish/Subscribe # pattern. # # Author: Robb Shecter and Robin Dunn # # Created: 12-December-2002 # Copyright: (c) 2003 by db-X Corporation # Licence: wxWindows license # Tags: phoenix-port #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 12/02/2003 - Jeff Grimmett (grimmtooth@softhome.net) # # o Updated for 2.5 compatability. # """ A module that allows multiple handlers to respond to single wxWidgets events. This allows true NxN Observer/Observable connections: One event can be received by multiple handlers, and one handler can receive multiple events. There are two ways to register event handlers. The first way is similar to standard wxPython handler registration:: from wx.lib.evtmgr import eventManager eventManager.Register(handleEvents, EVT_BUTTON, win=frame, id=101) There's also a new object-oriented way to register for events. This invocation is equivalent to the one above, but does not require the programmer to declare or track control ids or parent containers:: eventManager.Register(handleEvents, EVT_BUTTON, myButton) """ import wx from wx.lib.pubsub import pub # publish / subscribe library #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- class EventManager: """ This is the main class in the module, and is the only class that the application programmer needs to use.
