[015] A 'Hello World' Window in Five Easy Lines
A little demonstration of the power of wxPython, showing how to get a titled window up and running with five easy lines of Python code. This short taster should wet your appetite for the videos to come.
[016] A First wxPython Application
In this video we extend the "Hello World" example to create a first application using a conventional wxPython framework. We demonstrate how easy it is to sub-class a wxPython (Frame) class to create a window tailored for specific needs. Although this program is very simple it follows a pattern seen in much more complex wxPython projects.
[017] Adding a Menubar to Our Sample Editor
In this video we show how to add a statusbar and menubar to our wxPython MainWindow frame. The statusbar allows one to easily output information to the user while the menubar provides a readily extendible system of hierarchical menus. Note how wxPython preserves the look and feel of your respective operating system.
[018] An Introduction to Event-handling
In this video we show how wxPython provides an easy way to bind user-generated events, such as choosing a menu option, to methods we provide to handle them. The procedure shown is typical of all wxPython event handling so with little effort can be extended to far more complicated projects. Future videos in this series will demonstrate more advanced event handling.
