wxpython dialog

To display a dialog with wxPython requires only a few lines of code. We will demonstrate that below. We’ll discuss information dialog, simple dialog, error dialog, warning dialog and others.

Information dialog
An information dialog can be shown with one line of code:

import wx

app = wx.App()
wx.MessageBox('Pythonspot wxWidgets demo', 'Info', wx.OK | wx.ICON_INFORMATION)

The first parameter is the actual text to display. The second is the title and final parameter tells wx to show the information icon and button.

Output:

More dialogs: Warning dialog, Error dialog and default dialog
By modifying the parameters you can easily create other types of dailogs. An example below:

import wx

app = wx.App()

# simple dialog
wx.MessageBox('A dialog', 'Title', wx.OK)

# warning dialog
wx.MessageBox('Operation could not be completed', 'Warning', wx.OK | wx.ICON_WARNING)

# error dialog
wx.MessageBox('Operation could not be completed', 'Error', wx.OK | wx.ICON_ERROR)

Output (only one of the dialogs):

Question dialog
Wx can be used to create a question dialog (yes/no). Example code:

import wx

app = wx.App()

dlg = wx.MessageDialog(None, "Do you want to update?",'Updater',wx.YES_NO | wx.ICON_QUESTION)
result = dlg.ShowModal()

if result == wx.ID_YES:
    print "Yes pressed"
else:
    print "No pressed"
