Question

I would like to align selected text in wxTextCtrl to left or right. This is the code of my entire program. I need to align text to right, and left on button click.

class Beditor(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size=(800,600))

        self.SetIcon(wx.Icon('/usr/share/ezhuthani/icons/icon.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG))

        ## variables
        self.modify = False
        self.last_name_saved = ''
        self.replace = False
        self.word = ''

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can set the style in your event handler this way:

style = self.textCtrl.GetWindowStyle()
self.textCtrl.SetWindowStyle(style & ~wx.TE_LEFT | wx.TE_RIGHT)

or to change it back:

self.textCtrl.SetWindowStyle(style & ~wx.TE_RIGHT | wx.TE_LEFT)

Tested successfully on Ubuntu 12.04 with wxPython 2.8.12.

OTHER TIPS

Default for wxTextCtrl is to align left. You can align to the right using the wxTE_RIGHT windows style, but it only works on Windows and GTK2.
