I have been working with example stated under http://wiki.wxpython.org/PopupMenuOnRightClick .
The output expected when right clicking on an item would be Perform <action> on <item selected> . However the output I get is Perform <action> on "."
The code I used to test the example is:
import wx
import sys
sys.path.append("..")
from ObjectListView import ObjectListView, ColumnDefn
### 2. Launcher creates wxMenu. ###
menu_titles = [ "Open",
"Properties",
"Rename",
"Delete" ]
menu_title_by_id = {}
for title in menu_titles:
menu_title_by_id[ wx.wx.NewId() ] = title
class Track(object):
"""
Simple minded object that represents a song in a music library
"""
def __init__(self, title, artist, album):
self.title = title
self.artist = artist
self.album = album
def GetTracks():
"""
Return a collection of tracks
"""
return [
Track("Sweet Lullaby", "Deep Forest", "Deep Forest"),
Track("Losing My Religion", "U2", "Out of Time"),
Track("En el Pais de la Libertad", "Leon Gieco", "Leon Gieco"),
]
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.Init()
def Init(self):
self.InitModel()
self.InitWidgets()
self.InitObjectListView()
def InitModel(self):
self.songs = GetTracks()
def InitWidgets(self):
panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_1.Add(panel, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
self.myOlv = ObjectListView(panel, -1, style=wx.LC_REPORT|wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
sizer_2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_2.Add(self.myOlv, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 4)
panel.SetSizer(sizer_2)
self.Layout()
def InitObjectListView(self):
self.myOlv.SetColumns([
ColumnDefn("Title", "left", 120, "title"),
ColumnDefn("Artist", "left", 100, "artist"),
ColumnDefn("Album", "left", 100, "album")
])
self.myOlv.SetObjects(self.songs)
self.myOlv.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK, self.RightClick)
def RightClick(self,event):
# record what was clicked
self.list_item_clicked = right_click_context = event.GetString()
menu = wx.wx.Menu()
menu.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.MenuSelectionCb)
for (id,title) in menu_title_by_id.items():
### 3. Launcher packs menu with Append. ###
menu.Append( id, title )
### 5. Launcher displays menu with call to PopupMenu, invoked on the source component, passing event's GetPoint. ###
#self.frame.PopupMenu( menu, event.GetPoint() )
frame_1.PopupMenu(menu, event.GetPoint() )
menu.Destroy() # destroy to avoid mem leak
def MenuSelectionCb( self, event ):
# do something
operation = menu_title_by_id[ event.GetId() ]
target = self.list_item_clicked
print 'Perform "%(operation)s" on "%(target)s."' % vars()
class MyPopupMenu(wx.Menu):
def __init__(self, parent):
super(MyPopupMenu, self).__init__()
self.parent = parent
mmi = wx.MenuItem(self, wx.NewId(), 'Minimize')
self.AppendItem(mmi)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnMinimize, mmi)
cmi = wx.MenuItem(self, wx.NewId(), 'Close')
self.AppendItem(cmi)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnClose, cmi)
def OnMinimize(self, e):
self.parent.Iconize()
def OnClose(self, e):
self.parent.Close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.PySimpleApp(1)
wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
frame_1 = MyFrame(None, -1, "ObjectListView Track Test")
app.SetTopWindow(frame_1)
frame_1.Show()
app.MainLoop()
So, how to ensure to get the corresponding item name when right clicking and selecting an action for that item?
Notes:
- I am using wxpython 2.7.2.0 and tested it under Python 2.5 and Python 2.7
- This has been asked already under python: Right Click on list menu not showing item selected . However the solution provided (to change GetText to GetString) hadn't the expected results.
