class InputListPanel(ScrolledPanel):
    """
    This class implements a general purpose mechanism for obtaining and
    validating user input from several fields in a window with scroll bars.
    (See InputListDialog that uses a dialog box instead of a scrolled window.)

    It creates a scrolled window in which to display one or more input fields
    each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple
    data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user
    input is performed.  The caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain
    the final results from all fields in the form of a list of values.

    The scrolled window object is created as a child of the parent panel passed
    in.  Normally the caller of this class puts this returned object in a sizer
    attached to the parent panel to allow it to expand or contract based on the
    size constraints imposed by its parent.

    The layout is:

    +-------------------------------------+-+
    |                                     |v|
    |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |e|
    |                                     |r|   Note that drop down lists and
    |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |t|   simple data entry fields can
    |  ...                                |||   be specified in any order.
    |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |||
    |                                     |v|
    +-------------------------------------+-+   Note that scroll bars are
    |      horizontal scroll bar -->      | |   visible only when needed.
    +-------------------------------------+-+

    The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field
    description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and
    the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:

    [0] Label string prefix for the input field
    [1] Default value
    [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)
    [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:
        R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank
        E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box
            is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned
        C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box
        L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'
        H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;
            the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:
            0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)
            1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)
            2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)
            3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)
            B - header text is bolded
            U - header text is underlined
        Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means
        field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header
    [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field
    [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;
        if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None

    The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when
    the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label
    determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label
    width is determined separately for each section.

    The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to
    override the default point size.

    See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example.

class InputListDialog(wx.Dialog):
    """
    This class implements a general purpose mechanism for obtaining and
    validating user input from several fields in a pop-up dialog box.
    (See InputListPanel that uses a scrolled window instead of a dialog box.)

    It creates a pop-up dialog box in which to display one or more input fields
    each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple
    data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user
    input is performed.  OK and Cancel buttons are provided at the bottom of
    the dialog box for the user to signal completion of data entry whereupon
    the caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain the final results from
    all fields in the form of a list of values.  As with any dialog box, when
    the user presses OK or Cancel the dialog disappears from the screen, but
    the caller of this class is responsible for destroying the dialog box.

    The dialog box is automatically sized to fit the fields and buttons with
    reasonable spacing between the widgets.  The layout is:

    +-------------------------------------+
    |  Title                          [X] |
    +-------------------------------------+
    |                                     |
    |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |
    |                                     |     Note that drop down lists and
    |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |     simple data entry fields can
    |  ...                                |     be specified in any order.
    |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |
    |                                     |
    |       [  OK  ]      [Cancel]        |
    |                                     |
    +-------------------------------------+

    The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field
    description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and
    the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:

    [0] Label string prefix for the input field
    [1] Default value
    [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)
    [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:
        R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank
        E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box
            is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned
        C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box
        L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'
        H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;
            the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:
            0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)
            1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)
            2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)
            3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)
            B - header text is bolded
            U - header text is underlined
        Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means
        field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header
    [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field
    [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;
        if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None

    The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when
    the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label
    determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label
    width is determined separately for each section.

    The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to
    override the default point size.

    See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example.

class InputListPanel(ScrolledPanel):
    """
    This class implements a general purpose mechanism for obtaining and
    validating user input from several fields in a window with scroll bars.
    (See InputListDialog that uses a dialog box instead of a scrolled window.)

    It creates a scrolled window in which to display one or more input fields
    each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple
    data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user
    input is performed.  The caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain
    the final results from all fields in the form of a list of values.

    The scrolled window object is created as a child of the parent panel passed
    in.  Normally the caller of this class puts this returned object in a sizer
    attached to the parent panel to allow it to expand or contract based on the
    size constraints imposed by its parent.

    The layout is:

    +-------------------------------------+-+
    |                                     |v|
    |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |e|
    |                                     |r|   Note that drop down lists and
    |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |t|   simple data entry fields can
    |  ...                                |||   be specified in any order.
    |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |||
    |                                     |v|
    +-------------------------------------+-+   Note that scroll bars are
    |      horizontal scroll bar -->      | |   visible only when needed.
    +-------------------------------------+-+

    The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field
    description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and
    the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:

    [0] Label string prefix for the input field
    [1] Default value
    [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)
    [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:
        R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank
        E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box
            is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned
        C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box
        L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'
        H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;
            the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:
            0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)
            1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)
            2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)
            3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)
            B - header text is bolded
            U - header text is underlined
        Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means
        field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header
    [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field
    [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;
        if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None

    The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when
    the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label
    determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label
    width is determined separately for each section.

    The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to
    override the default point size.

    See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example.

    each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple
    data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user
    input is performed.  OK and Cancel buttons are provided at the bottom of
    the dialog box for the user to signal completion of data entry whereupon
    the caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain the final results from
    all fields in the form of a list of values.  As with any dialog box, when
    the user presses OK or Cancel the dialog disappears from the screen, but
    the caller of this class is responsible for destroying the dialog box.

    The dialog box is automatically sized to fit the fields and buttons with
    reasonable spacing between the widgets.  The layout is:

    +-------------------------------------+
    |  Title                          [X] |
    +-------------------------------------+
    |                                     |
    |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |
    |                                     |     Note that drop down lists and
    |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |     simple data entry fields can
    |  ...                                |     be specified in any order.
    |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |
    |                                     |
    |       [  OK  ]      [Cancel]        |
    |                                     |
    +-------------------------------------+

    The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field
    description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and
    the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:

    [0] Label string prefix for the input field
    [1] Default value
    [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)
    [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:
        R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank
        E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box
            is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned
        C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box
        L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'
        H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;
            the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:
            0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)
            1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)
            2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)
            3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)
            B - header text is bolded
            U - header text is underlined
        Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means
        field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header
    [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field
    [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;
        if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None

    The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when
    the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label
    determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label
    width is determined separately for each section.

    The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to
    override the default point size.

    See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example.

        response to a selection event.  The sample code below shows how to
        obtain the index of the box, the index of the item selected, and the
        value.  Note that the box's index is 0 to n, where n is the number of
        combo and input boxes, not just the number of combo boxes.

Yellow means an input value is required. Pink indicates a syntax error. This class implements a custom input field validator.  Each instance of     this class services one data entry field (typically implemented as     wx.TextCtrl or a wx.ComboBox widget).  Parameters are:      - datatype of the field (used when validating user input) as follows:       o 'int'       => signed or unsigned integer value       o 'float'     => floating point value       o 'str'       => string of characters       o 'str_alpha' => string of alphabetic characters {A-Z, a-z}       o 'str_alnum' => string of alphanumeric characters {A-Z, a-z, 0-9}       o 'str_id'    => string identifier consisting of {A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _, -}       o '' or any unknown datatype is treated the same as 'str'      - flag to indicate whether user input is required (True) or optional (False) # Every validator must implement the Clone() method that returns a # instance of the class as follows: Verify user input according to the expected datatype.  Leading and         trailing whitespace is always stripped before evaluation.  Floating and         integer values are returned as normalized float or int objects; thus         conversion can generate an error.  On error, the field is highlighted         and the cursor is placed there.  Note that all string datatypes are         returned stripped of leading and trailing whitespace. # For self.datatype of "str", "", or any unrecognized type. #print(exc) # The parent of this class is responsible for setting the default value # for the field (e.g., by calling wx.TextCtrl() or wx.ComboBox() or # instance.SetValue(), etc.). # Default is False for failure # Data has already been transferred from the window and validated # in Validate(), so there is nothing useful to do here. # Default is False for failure # Return the validated value or zero or blank for a null input. # Return the validated value or None for a null input. #============================================================================== This class implements a general purpose mechanism for obtaining and     validating user input from several fields in a window with scroll bars.     (See InputListDialog that uses a dialog box instead of a scrolled window.)      It creates a scrolled window in which to display one or more input fields     each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple     data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user     input is performed.  The caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain     the final results from all fields in the form of a list of values.      The scrolled window object is created as a child of the parent panel passed     in.  Normally the caller of this class puts this returned object in a sizer     attached to the parent panel to allow it to expand or contract based on the     size constraints imposed by its parent.      The layout is:      +-------------------------------------+-+     |                                     |v|     |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |e|     |                                     |r|   Note that drop down lists and     |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |t|   simple data entry fields can     |  ...                                |||   be specified in any order.     |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |||     |                                     |v|     +-------------------------------------+-+   Note that scroll bars are     |      horizontal scroll bar -->      | |   visible only when needed.     +-------------------------------------+-+      The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field     description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and     the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:      [0] Label string prefix for the input field     [1] Default value     [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)     [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:         R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank         E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box             is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned         C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box         L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'         H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;             the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:             0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)             1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)             2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)             3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)             B - header text is bolded             U - header text is underlined         Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means         field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header     [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field     [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;         if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None      The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when     the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label     determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label     width is determined separately for each section.      The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to     override the default point size.      See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example. # Set the default font for this and all child windows (widgets) if the # caller specifies a size; otherwise let it default from the parent. #print("Input List Panel font ptsize =", self.GetFont().GetPointSize()) # Specify the widget layout using sizers. # Create the text controls for labels and associated input fields and # any optional headers. # Divide the input items into sections prefaced by header text (except # that the first section is not required to have a header).  A section # list is created that contains the index of the item that starts a new # section plus a final entry that is one beyond the last item. # declare item 0 to be start of a new section # Place the items for each section in its own flex grid sizer. # Add the flex grid sizer to the main sizer. # self.headers[0] could be None # Finalize the sizer and establish the dimensions of the input box. # Enable scrolling and initialize the validators (required when # validators are not used in the context of a dialog box). For each input item, create a header (optional), label, and input box         widget to instantiate it.  Put the handles for these widgets in the         headers, labels, and inputs lists where the length of each list is the         same as the number of input boxes. # display None as a null string # Process the flags parameter. # large # X-large # 2X-large # Optionally, create a header widget to display above the input box. # A dividing line is treated as a special case header. # Create the text label widget. # Create the input box widget (combo box or simple data entry box). # it is a drop down combo box list # min width about 10 digits # it is a simple data entry field # min width about 10 digits # Verify that field is editable, otherwise don't allow user to edit. # Validate the default value and highlight the field if the value is # in error or if input is required and the value is a null string. # Determine if all input boxes should be aligned across sections. Returns a list of values, one for each input field.  The value for         a field is either its initial (default) value or the last value         entered by the user that has been successfully validated.  An input         that fails validation is not returned by the validator from the         window.  For a non-editable field, its initial value is returned.          Blank input is converted to 0 for int, 0.0 for float, or a 0-length         string for a string datatype. Returns a list of values, one for each input field.  The value for         a field is either its initial (default) value or the last value         entered by the user that has been successfully validated.  An input         that fails validation is not returned by the validator from the         window.  For a non-editable field, its initial value is returned.          Blank input is returned as a value of None. Returns a list of strings corresponding to each input field.  These         are the current values from the text control widgets whether or not         they have passed validation.  All values are returned as raw strings         (i.e., they are not converted to floats or ints and leading and         trailing whitespace is not stripped). This method is called each time a key stroke is entered in any text         control box.  It should be subclassed if special processing is needed.         The sample code below shows how to obtain the index of the box and its         value.  Note that the box's index is 0 to n, where n is the number of         input and combo boxes, not just the number of input boxes.          # Get index of the input box that triggered the event.         text_ctrl = event.GetEventObject()         for box_idx, box_instance in enumerate(self.inputs):             if text_ctrl is box_instance:                 break         # Get the edited string.         text = text_ctrl.GetValue()         print("Field:", box_idx, text) # Run the validator bound to the text control box that has been edited. # If the validation fails, the validator will highlight the input field # to alert the user of the error. This method is called each time a selection is made in any combo box.         It should be subclassed if the caller wants to perform some action in         response to a selection event.  The sample code below shows how to         obtain the index of the box, the index of the item selected, and the         value.  Note that the box's index is 0 to n, where n is the number of         combo and input boxes, not just the number of combo boxes.          # Get index of selected item in combo box dropdown list.         item_idx = event.GetSelection()         # Get index of combo box that triggered the event.         current_box = event.GetEventObject()         for box_idx, box_instance in enumerate(self.inputs):             if current_box is box_instance:                 break         print("Combo:", box_idx, item_idx, self.itemlist[box_idx][3][item_idx]) # Run the validator bound to the combo box that has a selection event. # This should not fail unless the combo options were setup incorrectly. # If the validation fails, the validator will highlight the input field # to alert the user of the error. #============================================================================== This class implements a general purpose mechanism for obtaining and     validating user input from several fields in a pop-up dialog box.     (See InputListPanel that uses a scrolled window instead of a dialog box.)      It creates a pop-up dialog box in which to display one or more input fields     each preceded by a label.  The input fields can be a combination of simple     data entry boxes or drop down combo boxes.  Automatic validation of user     input is performed.  OK and Cancel buttons are provided at the bottom of     the dialog box for the user to signal completion of data entry whereupon     the caller can use the GetResults() method to obtain the final results from     all fields in the form of a list of values.  As with any dialog box, when     the user presses OK or Cancel the dialog disappears from the screen, but     the caller of this class is responsible for destroying the dialog box.      The dialog box is automatically sized to fit the fields and buttons with     reasonable spacing between the widgets.  The layout is:      +-------------------------------------+     |  Title                          [X] |     +-------------------------------------+     |                                     |     |  Label-1:   [<drop down list>  |V]  |     |                                     |     Note that drop down lists and     |  Label-2:   [<data entry field-2>]  |     simple data entry fields can     |  ...                                |     be specified in any order.     |  Label-n:   [<data entry field-n>]  |     |                                     |     |       [  OK  ]      [Cancel]        |     |                                     |     +-------------------------------------+      The itemlist parameter controls the display.  It is a list of input field     description lists where each description list contains 5 or 6 elements and     the 6th element is optional.  The items in the description list are:      [0] Label string prefix for the input field     [1] Default value     [2] Datatype for validation (see ItemListValidator docstring for details)     [3] flags parameter in the form of a string of characters as follows:         R - input is required; otherwise input is optional and can be blank         E - field is editable by the user; otherwise it is non-editable and box             is grayed-out; a non-editable field has its default value returned         C - field is a combobox; otherwise it is a simple data entry box         L - field is preceded by a divider line; 'L' takes precedent over 'H'         H - field is preceded by a header given in the 6th element of the list;             the following header sub-options are valid only if 'H' is specified:             0 - header text size is same as label text size (default)             1 - header text size is label text size + 1 point (large)             2 - header text size is label text size + 2 points (x-large)             3 - header text size is label text size + 3 points (2x-large)             B - header text is bolded             U - header text is underlined         Options can be combined in the flags string such as 'REHB2' which means         field is required, editable, and preceeded by a bold, extra-large header     [4] List of values for a combo box or None for a simple data entry field     [5] Header string to be displayed above the label string of the input field;         if 'H' is not specified, this list element can be omitted or can be None      The align parameter determines whether input fields are aligned across when     the input fields are grouped into sections.  If True, the widest text label     determines the space allocated for all labels; if False, the text label     width is determined separately for each section.      The fontsize parameter allows the caller to specify a font point size to     override the default point size.      See the AppTestFrame class for a comprehensive example. # x is min_width; y will be calculated # Set the font for this window and all child windows (widgets) from the # parent window, or from the system defaults if no parent is given. # A dialog box does not inherit font info from its parent, so we will # explicitly get it from the parent and apply it to the dialog box. # If the caller specifies a font size, override the default value. #print("Input Dialog box font ptsize =", self.GetFont().GetPointSize()) # Create the button controls (OK and Cancel) and bind their events. # Specify the widget layout using sizers. # Create the text controls for labels and associated input fields and # any optional headers. # Divide the input items into sections prefaced by header text (except # that the first section is not required to have a header).  A section # list is created that contains the index of the item that starts a new # section plus a final entry that is one beyond the last item. # declare item 0 to be start of a new section #print("Section index list:", sect) # Place the items for each section in its own flex grid sizer. #print("Items per section:", j, "to", k) # Add the flex grid sizer to the main sizer. # self.headers[0] could be None # Create the button sizer that will put the buttons in a row, right # justified, and with a fixed amount of space between them.  This # emulates the Windows convention for placing a set of buttons at the # bottom right of the window. # stretchable whitespace # non-stretchable whitespace # Add a separator line before the buttons. # Add the button sizer to the main sizer. # Finalize the sizer and establish the dimensions of the dialog box. # The minimum width is explicitly set because the sizer is not able to # take into consideration the width of the enclosing frame's title. For each input item, create a header (optional), label, and input box         widget to instantiate it.  Put the handles for these widgets in the         headers, labels, and inputs lists where the length of each list is the         same as the number of input boxes. # display None as a null string # Process the flags parameter. # large # X-large # 2X-large # Optionally, create a header widget to display above the input box. # A dividing line is treated as a special case header. # Create the text label widget. # Create the input box widget (combo box or simple data entry box) # it is a drop down combo box list # min width about 10 digits # it is a simple data entry field # min width about 10 digits # Verify that field is editable, otherwise don't allow user to edit. # Validate the default value and highlight the field if the value is # in error or if input is required and the value is a null string. # Also, save index of the first field to fail validation, if any. # If any fields failed validation, set focus to the first failed one. # Determine if all input boxes should be aligned across sections. Returns a list of values, one for each input field.  The value for         a field is either its initial (default) value or the last value         entered by the user that has been successfully validated.  An input         that fails validation is not returned by the validator from the         window.  For a non-editable field, its initial value is returned.          Blank input is converted to 0 for int, 0.0 for float, or a 0-length         string for a string datatype. Returns a list of values, one for each input field.  The value for         a field is either its initial (default) value or the last value         entered by the user that has been successfully validated.  An input         that fails validation is not returned by the validator from the         window.  For a non-editable field, its initial value is returned.          Blank input is returned as a value of None. Returns a list of strings corresponding to each input field.  These         are the current values from the text control widgets whether or not         they have passed validation.  All values are returned as raw strings         (i.e., they are not converted to floats or ints and leading and         trailing whitespace is not stripped). This method gets called when the user presses the OK button.         It is intended to be subclassed if special processing is needed. # Explicitly validate all input values before proceeding.  Although # char-by-char validation would have warned the user about any invalid # entries, the user could have pressed the OK button without making # the corrections, so we'll do a full validation pass now.  The only # purpose is to display an explicit error if any input fails validation. # keep the dialog box open # When the wx.ID_OK event is skipped (to allow handlers up the chain to # run), the Validate methods for all text control boxes will be called. # If all report success, the TransferFromWindow methods will be called # and the dialog box will close.  However, if any Validate method fails # this process will stop and the dialog box will remain open allowing # the user to either correct the problem(s) or cancel the dialog. This method is called each time a key stroke is entered in any text         control box.  It should be subclassed if special processing is needed.         The sample code below shows how to obtain the index of the box and its         value.  Note that the box's index is 0 to n, where n is the number of         input and combo boxes, not just the number of input boxes.          # Get index of the input box that triggered the event.         text_ctrl = event.GetEventObject()         for box_idx, box_instance in enumerate(self.inputs):             if text_ctrl is box_instance:                 break         # Get the edited string.         text = text_ctrl.GetValue()         print("Field:", box_idx, text) # Run the validator bound to the text control box that has been edited. # If the validation fails, the validator will highlight the input field # to alert the user of the error. This method is called each time a selection is made in any combo box.         It should be subclassed if the caller wants to perform some action in         response to a selection event.  The sample code below shows how to         obtain the index of the box, the index of the item selected, and the         value.  Note that the box's index is 0 to n, where n is the number of         combo and input boxes, not just the number of combo boxes.          # Get index of selected item in combo box dropdown list.         item_idx = event.GetSelection()         # Get index of combo box that triggered the event.         current_box = event.GetEventObject()         for box_idx, box_instance in enumerate(self.inputs):             if current_box is box_instance:                 break         print("Combo:", box_idx, item_idx, self.itemlist[box_idx][3][item_idx]) # Run the validator bound to the combo box that has a selection event. # This should not fail unless the combo options were setup incorrectly. # If the validation fails, the validator will highlight the input field # to alert the user of the error. #============================================================================== Interactively test both the InputListPanel and the InputListDialog classes.     Both will display the same input fields.  Enter invalid data to verify     char-by-char error processing.  Press the Submit and OK buttons with an     uncorrected highlighted field in error to generate a pop-up error box.     Resize the main window to see scroll bars disappear and reappear. # Establish the default font and point size for test. # Define fields for both InputListPanel and InputListDialog to display. # Test specification of integer default value as a string # Default value is null, so the required field should be highlighted # Test unknown datatype which should be treated as 'str' # ComboBox items must be specified as strings # Create the scrolled window with input boxes.  Due to the intentionally # small size of the parent panel, both scroll bars should be displayed. # Create a button to request the popup dialog box. # Create a button to signal end of user edits and one to exit program. # Create a horizontal sizer for the buttons. # stretchable whitespace # non-stretchable whitespace # Create a vertical box sizer for the panel and layout widgets in it. # Associate the sizer with its container. # Display the same fields shown in the frame in a pop-up dialog box. # Explicitly validate all input parameters before proceeding.  Even # though char-by-char validation would have warned the user about any # invalid entries, the user could have pressed the Done button without # making the corrections, so a full validation pass is necessary. # keep the dialog box open # Terminate the program. #============================================================================== # Interactively test both the InputListPanel and the InputListDialog classes.
