Functions
=========


.. function:: AboutBox(info)

   This function shows the standard about dialog containing the
   information specified in `info`. If the current platform has a
   native about dialog which is capable of showing all the fields in
   `wx.AboutDialogInfo <Widgets/wx.AboutDialogInfo.html>`_, the native dialog is used, otherwise the
   function falls back to the generic wxWidgets version of the dialog.

   Here is an example of how this function may be used::

       def ShowSimpleAboutDialog(event):

           info = wx.AboutDialogInfo()
           info.SetName("My Program")
           info.SetVersion("1.2.3 Beta")
           info.SetDescription("This program does something great.")
           info.SetCopyright("(C) 2007 Me <my@email.addre.ss>")

           wx.AboutBox(info)

   |

.. function:: AutoBufferedPaintDCFactory(window)
   
   Checks if the window is natively double buffered and will return a
   `wx.PaintDC <Widgets/wx.PaintDC.html>`_ if it is, a `wx.BufferedPaintDC <Widgets/wx.BufferedPaintDC.html>`_ otherwise.  

   The advantage of this function over `wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC <Widgets/wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC.html>`_ is that this function will check
   if the the specified window has double-buffering enabled rather than just going by platform defaults.

   **Parameters:**

   * `window` (`wx.Window <Widgets/wx.Window.html>`_)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `wx.DC <Widgets/wx.DC.html>`_
 

--------

.. function:: BeginBusyCursor(cursor=wx.HOURGLASS_CURSOR)

   Changes the cursor to the given cursor for all windows in the application. Use `wx.EndBusyCursor <#EndBusyCursor>`_ to revert the cursor back to 
   its previous state. These two calls can be nested, and a counter ensures that only the outer calls take effect.

   **Parameters:**

   * `cursor` (`wx.Cursor <Widgets/wx.Cursor.html>`_)


.. seealso:: `IsBusy <#IsBusy>`_, `BusyCursor <#BusyCursor>`_


--------

.. function:: Bell()

   Rings the system bell.

--------

.. function:: BitmapFromBits(bits, width, height, depth=1)
   
   Creates a bitmap from an array of bits.  

   You should only use this function for monochrome bitmaps (depth 1) in portable programs: in this case the bits parameter should contain an XBM image.  

   For other bit depths, the behaviour is platform dependent.

   **Parameters:**

   * `bits` (PyObject)
   * `width` (int)
   * `height` (int)
   * `depth` (int)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_
 

--------

.. function:: BitmapFromBuffer(width, height, dataBuffer, alphaBuffer=None)

   Creates a `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_ from the data in `dataBuffer`.  

   The `dataBuffer` parameter must be a Python object that implements the buffer interface, such as a string, array, etc.  

   The `dataBuffer` object is expected to contain a series of RGB bytes and be width\*height\*3 bytes long. A buffer object can optionally be supplied for the
   image's alpha channel data, and it is expected to be width\*height bytes long.  

   On Windows and Mac the RGB values are 'premultiplied' by the alpha values. (The other platforms do the multiplication themselves.)
   
   Unlike `wx.ImageFromBuffer <#ImageFromBuffer>`_ the bitmap created with this function does not share the memory buffer with the buffer object. This is
   because the native pixel buffer format varies on different platforms, and so instead an efficient as possible copy of the data is made from the buffer 
   objects to the bitmap's native pixel buffer. 

   For direct access to a bitmap's pixel buffer see `wx.NativePixelData <Widgets/wx.NativePixelData.html>`_ and `wx.AlphaPixelData <Widgets/wx.AlphaPixelData.html>`_.
   
   **Parameters:**

   * `width` (int)
   * `height` (int)
   * `dataBuffer` (PyObject)
   * `alphaBuffer` (PyObject) 

.. seealso::  `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_, `wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA <#BitmapFromBufferRGBA>`_, `wx.NativePixelData <Widgets/wx.NativePixelData.html>`_,
   `wx.AlphaPixelData <Widgets/wx.AlphaPixelData.html>`_, `wx.ImageFromBuffer <#ImageFromBuffer>`_

--------

.. function:: BitmapFromBufferRGBA(width, height, dataBuffer)

   Creates a `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_ from the data in `dataBuffer`.  

   The dataBuffer parameter must be a Python object that implements the buffer interface, such as a string, array, etc.  
   
   The `dataBuffer` object is expected to contain a series of RGB bytes and be width\*height\*3 bytes long. A buffer object can optionally be supplied for the
   image's alpha channel data, and it is expected to be width\*height bytes long.  

   On Windows and Mac the RGB values are 'premultiplied' by the alpha values. (The other platforms do the multiplication themselves.)

   objects to the bitmap's native pixel buffer. 

   For direct access to a bitmap's pixel buffer see `wx.NativePixelData <Widgets/wx.NativePixelData.html>`_ and `wx.AlphaPixelData <Widgets/wx.AlphaPixelData.html>`_.
   
   **Parameters:**

   * `width` (int)
   * `height` (int)
   * `dataBuffer` (PyObject)

.. seealso::  `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_, `wx.BitmapFromBuffer <#BitmapFromBufferRGBA>`_, `wx.NativePixelData <Widgets/wx.NativePixelData.html>`_,

   `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_
 

--------

.. function:: BitmapFromImage(image, depth=-1)
   
   Creates bitmap object from a `wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_. 

   This has to be done to actually display a `wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_ as you cannot draw an image directly on a window. The resulting bitmap will 
   use the provided colour depth (or that of the current screen colour depth if `depth` is -1) which entails that a colour reduction may have to take place.

   **Parameters:**

   * `image` (`wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_)
   * `depth` (int)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_

.. function:: Dialog_GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=wx.WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)
   
   Get the default attributes for this class.  This is useful if you want
   to use the same font or colour in your own control as in a standard
   control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
   colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the
   user's system, especially if it uses themes.
   
   The `variant` parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is
   ignore under other platforms. Under Mac, it will change the size of
   the returned font. See `wx.Window.SetWindowVariant <Widgets/wx.Window.html#SetWindowVariant>`_ for more about
   this.

   **Parameters:**

   The message is displayed at the top, and the `defaultPath`, if specified, is set as the initial selection.

   The application must check for an empty return value (if the user pressed ``Cancel``). For example::

       directory = wx.DirSelector("Choose a folder")

       if not directory.strip():
           # User cancelled the dialog...
           DoSomething()

.. function:: EndBusyCursor()

   Changes the cursor back to the original cursor, for all windows in the application. Use with `wx.BeginBusyCursor <#BeginBusyCursor>`_.


.. seealso:: `IsBusy <#IsBusy>`_, `BusyCursor <#BusyCursor>`_

--------

.. function:: Execute(command, flags=wx.EXEC_ASYNC, process=None)

   Launches the specified process.

   If `flags` parameter contains ``wx.EXEC_ASYNC`` flag (the default), flow of control immediately returns. If it contains ``wx.EXEC_SYNC``, the current application 
   waits until the other program has terminated.

   In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be -1 if the 
   process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to terminate, `wx.Execute` will call 
   `wx.Yield <#Yield>`_. Because of this, by default this function disables all application windows to avoid unexpected reentrancies which could result from the users 
   interaction with the program while the child process is running. If you are sure that it is safe to not disable the program windows, you may pass ``wx.EXEC_NODISABLE`` 
   flag to prevent this automatic disabling from happening.

   For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added complication, 
   the return value of -1 in this case indicates that we didn't launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only happen in case of using DDE under 
   Windows for command execution). In particular, in this, and only this, case the calling code will not get the notification about process termination.

   Under Unix the flag ``wx.EXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER`` may be used to ensure that the new process is a group leader (this will create a new session if needed). Calling 
   `wx.Kill <#Kill>`_ passing ``wx.KILL_CHILDREN`` will kill this process as well as all of its children (except those which have started their own session).

   **Parameters:**

   * `command` (string)
   * `flags` (int)
   * `process` (`wx.Process <Widgets/wx.Process.html>`_)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `int` 

.. note:: Currently `wx.Execute` can only be used from the main thread, calling this function from another thread will result in an assert failure in debug build and won't work.

--------

.. function:: Exit()

   Force an exit of the application. 

   Exits application after calling `wx.App.OnExit`. Should only be used in an emergency: normally the top-level frame should be deleted (after deleting all other frames) 
   to terminate the application. See `wx.CloseEvent <Events/wx.CloseEvent.html>`_.

--------

.. function:: ExpandEnvVars(sz)
   
   Replace environment variables (``$SOMETHING``) with their values. The
   format is ``$VARNAME`` or ``${VARNAME}`` where `VARNAME` contains alphanumeric
   characters and '_' only. '$' must be escaped ('\$') in order to be
   taken literally.

   **Parameters:**

   * `sz` (string)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `string` 

--------

.. function:: FFont(pointSize, family, flags=wx.FONTFLAG_DEFAULT, face="", encoding=wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT)

   individual attribute settings.  The value of flags can be a combination of the following:
   
   ===============================  ==
   Font Flag
   ===============================  ==
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_DEFAULT``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_ITALIC``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_SLANT``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_LIGHT``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_BOLD``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_ANTIALIASED``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_NOT_ANTIALIASED``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_UNDERLINED``
   ``wx.FONTFLAG_STRIKETHROUGH``
   ===============================  ==

   **Parameters:**

   * `pointSize` (int)
   * `family` (int)
   * `flags` (int)
   * `face` (string)

   **Parameters:**

   * `pixelSize` (`wx.Size <Widgets/wx.Size.html>`_)
   * `family` (int)
   * `flags` (int)
   * `face` (string)

--------

.. function:: FileSelector(message=wx.FileSelectorPromptStr, default_path="", default_filename="", default_extension="", wildcard=wx.FileSelectorDefaultWildcardStr, flags=0, parent=None, x=-1, y=-1)

   Pops up a file selector box. In Windows, this is the common file selector dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with the same functionality. 
   The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname. If `default_path` is empty, the current directory will be used. If `default_filename` is empty, 
   no default filename will be supplied. The `wildcard` determines what files are displayed in the file selector, and file extension supplies a type extension for 
   the required filename. `flags` may be a combination of ``wx.FD_OPEN``, ``wx.FD_SAVE``, ``wx.FD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT`` or ``wx.FD_FILE_MUST_EXIST``. 

   Both the Unix and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a filename containing wildcards (\*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on ``Ok``, 
   will result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed.

   The `wildcard` may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description for each, such as::

       "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp | GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"


   The application must check for an empty return value (the user pressed ``Cancel``). For example::

       filename = wx.FileSelector("Choose a file to open")

       if filename.strip():
           # work with the file
           UserSelectedFile(filename)
       else:
           # cancelled by user
           Cancelled()

   |

   **Parameters:**

   * `message` (string)
   * `default_path` (string)
   * `default_filename` (string)
   * `default_extension` (string)
   * `wildcard` (string)
   * `flags` (int)
   * `parent` (`wx.Window <Widgets/wx.Window.html>`_)
   * `x` (int)
   * `y` (int)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `string`

.. function:: GetTranslation(str)

   Alternative signatures:

   `GetTranslation(String str, String domain)`

   `GetTranslation(String str, String strPlural, int n)`

   `GetTranslation(String str, String strPlural, int n, String domain)`


   This function returns the translation of string `str` in the current locale. 

   If the string is not found in any of the loaded message catalogs, the original string is returned. In debug build, an error message is logged -- this should 
   help to find the strings which were not yet translated. If `domain` is specified then only that domain/catalog is searched for a matching string.

   The third form is used when retrieving translation of string that has different singular and plural form in English or different plural forms in some other language. 
   It takes two extra arguments: as above, `str` parameter must contain the singular form of the string to be converted and is used as the key for the search in the catalog. 
   The `strPlural` parameter is the plural form (in English). The parameter `n` is used to determine the plural form. If no message catalog is found str is returned 
   if `n` == 1, otherwise `strPlural`.

   All versions call `wx.Locale.GetString <Widgets/wx.Locale.html#GetString>`_.

   **Parameters:**

   * `str` (string)

   the ``wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE`` style in window to determine whether idle events should be sent to this window now. 

   By default this will always return ``True`` because the update mode is initially ``wx.IDLE_PROCESS_ALL``. 

   You can change the mode to only send idle events to windows with the ``wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE`` extra window style set.

   **Parameters:**

   * `win` (`wx.Window <Widgets/wx.Window.html>`_)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `bool`

   ==============================   ========================================
   Mode Flag                        Description
   ==============================   ========================================
   ``wx.IDLE_PROCESS_ALL``          Send idle events to all windows.

--------

.. function:: ImageFromBitmap(bitmap)

   Construct a `wx.Image` from a `wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_.

   **Parameters:**

   * `bitmap` (`wx.Bitmap <Widgets/wx.Bitmap.html>`_)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_
 

--------

.. function:: ImageFromBuffer(width, height, dataBuffer, alphaBuffer=None)

   Creates a `wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_ from the data in `dataBuffer`.  

   The `dataBuffer` parameter must be a Python object that implements the buffer interface, such as a string, array, etc...

   The `dataBuffer` object is expected to contain a series of RGB bytes and be width\*height\*3 bytes long. A buffer object can optionally be supplied for the image's alpha channel data, and
   it is expected to be width\*height bytes long.
   
   The `wx.Image` will be created with its data and alpha pointers initialized to the memory address pointed to by the buffer objects, thus saving the
   time needed to copy the image data from the buffer object to the `wx.Image`. While this has advantages, it also has the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot
   risks associated with sharing a C pointer between two objects.
   
   To help alleviate the risk a reference to the data and alpha buffer objects are kept with the `wx.Image`, so that they won't get deleted until
   after the `wx.Image` is deleted.  However please be aware that it is not guaranteed that an object won't move its memory buffer to a new location
   when it needs to resize its contents. If that happens then the `wx.Image` will end up referring to an invalid memory location and could cause the
   application to crash. Therefore care should be taken to not manipulate the objects used for the data and alpha buffers in a way that would cause
   them to change size.

   **Parameters:**

   * `width` (int)
   * `height` (int) 
   * `dataBuffer` (PyObject)
   * `alphaBuffer` (PyObject)


--------

.. function:: ImageFromData(width, height, data)

   **Returns:**

   `wx.Image <Widgets/wx.Image.html>`_
 

--------

.. function:: ImageFromDataWithAlpha(width, height, data, alpha)

.. function:: Kill(pid, sig=wx.SIGTERM, rc, flags=wx.KILL_NOCHILDREN)

   Equivalent to the Unix `kill` function: send the given signal `sig` to the process with PID `pid`. The valid signal values are:

   * ``wx.SIGNONE`` = 0  ---> verify if the process exists under Unix
   * ``wx.SIGHUP``

   * ``wx.SIGTRAP``
   * ``wx.SIGABRT``

   * ``wx.SIGSYS``
   * ``wx.SIGPIPE``
   * ``wx.SIGALRM``
   * ``wx.SIGTERM``      ---> terminate the process gently

   ``wx.SIGNONE``, ``wx.SIGKILL`` and ``wx.SIGTERM`` have the same meaning under both Unix and Windows but all the other signals are 
   equivalent to ``wx.SIGTERM`` under Windows.

   Returns one of the following flags:

   ``wx.KILL_ERROR``          another, unspecified error
   =========================  ======================


   The `flags` parameter can be ``wx.KILL_NOCHILDREN`` (the default), or ``wx.KILL_CHILDREN``, in which case the child processes of 
   this process will be killed too. Note that under Unix, for ``wx.KILL_CHILDREN`` to work you should have created the process passing 
   ``wx.EXEC_MAKE_GROUP_LEADER``.

   |

   **Parameters:**

   * `pid` (long)
   * `sig` (int)
   * `rc` (int)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `bool` 

.. note:: Note that for some configurations of the running user, the application which is launched to open the given URL may be URL-dependent (e.g. a browser 
   may be used for local URLs while another one may be used for remote URLs).

--------

.. function:: ListBox_GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=wx.WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)

   Get the default attributes for this class.  This is useful if you want
   to use the same font or colour in your own control as in a standard
   control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
   colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the
   user's system, especially if it uses themes.
   
   The `variant` parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is
   ignore under other platforms. Under Mac, it will change the size of
   the returned font. See `wx.Window.SetWindowVariant <Widgets/wx.Window.html#SetWindowVariant>`_ for more about
   this.

   **Parameters:**

   * `variant` (int)

.. function:: LogDebug(msg)

   The right functions for debug output. They only do something in debug mode and expand to nothing in release mode (otherwise).

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogError(msg)

   The functions to use for error messages, i.e. the messages that must be shown to the user. 

   The default processing is to pop up a message box to inform the user about it.

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogFatalError(msg)

   Like `wx.LogError <#LogError>`_, but also terminates the program with the exit code 3.

   `No docstrings available for this function.`

--------

.. function:: LogInfo(msg)

   See `wx.LogVerbose <#LogVerbose>`_.

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogMessage(msg)

   For all normal, informational messages. They also appear in a message box by default (but it can be changed).

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogStatus(msg)

   Messages logged by these functions will appear in the statusbar of the frame or of the top level application window by default (i.e. when using the second version of the functions).

   If the target frame doesn't have a statusbar, the message will be lost.

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogStatusFrame(pFrame, msg)

   Messages logged by these functions will appear in the statusbar of the frame or of the top level application window by default (i.e. when using the second version of the functions).

   **Parameters:**

   * `pFrame` (`wx.Frame <Widgets/wx.Frame.html>`_)
   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogSysError(msg)

   Mostly used by wxWidgets itself, but might be handy for logging errors after system call (API function) failure. It logs the specified message text as well 
   as the last system error code.

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

.. function:: LogTrace(mask, msg)

   As `wx.LogDebug <#LogDebug>`, trace functions only do something in debug build and expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making it a separate function from 
   it is that usually there are a lot of trace messages, so it might make sense to separate them from other debug messages.

   The trace messages also usually can be separated into different categories and the second and third versions of this function only log the message if the mask which it 
   has is currently enabled in `wx.Log <Widgets/wx.Log.html>`_. This allows to selectively trace only some operations and not others by changing the value of the trace 
   mask (possible during the run-time).

   The predefined string trace masks used by wxWidgets are:

   * ``wx.TRACE_MemAlloc``: trace memory allocation (new/delete) 
   * ``wx.TRACE_Messages``: trace window messages/X callbacks 
   * ``wx.TRACE_ResAlloc``: trace GDI resource allocation 
   * ``wx.TRACE_RefCount``: trace various ref counting operations 
   * ``wx.TRACE_OleCalls``: trace OLE method calls (Win32 only) 

   |

   **Parameters:**

   * `mask` (int)
   * `msg` (string)
  
--------

.. function:: LogVerbose(msg)

   For verbose output. Normally, it is suppressed, but might be activated if the user wishes to know more details about the program progress (another,

   **Parameters:**

   * `msg` (string)


--------

       def Foo(self):

           # Before doing any GUI calls we must ensure that this thread is the only
           # one doing it!

           wx.MutexGuiEnter()

--------

.. function:: UpdateUIEvent_CanUpdate(win)

   Returns ``True`` if it is appropriate to update (send UI update events
   to) this window.
   
   This function looks at the mode used (see `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetMode <Events/wx.UpdateUIEvent.html#SetMode>`_),
   the ``wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UPDATE_EVENTS`` flag in window, the time update events were last sent in idle time, and the update interval, to
   determine whether events should be sent to this window now. 

   By default this will always return true because the update mode is initially ``wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL`` and the interval is set to 0; so update
   events will be sent as often as possible. You can reduce the frequency that events are sent by changing the mode and/or setting an update
   interval.

   **Parameters:**

   * `win` (`wx.Window <Widgets/wx.Window.html>`_)

   |

   **Returns:**

   `bool` 

--------

   events.

   |

   **Returns:**

   `int` 

--------

.. function:: UpdateUIEvent_GetUpdateInterval()

   Returns the current interval between updates in milliseconds.

   Set -1 to disable updates, 0 to update as frequently as possible.

   |

   **Returns:**

   `int` 

--------

.. function:: UpdateUIEvent_ResetUpdateTime()
   
   Used internally to reset the last-updated time to the current time. It
   is assumed that update events are normally sent in idle time, so this
   is called at the end of idle processing.

--------

.. function:: UpdateUIEvent_SetMode(mode)

   Specify how wxWidgets will send update events: to all windows, or only to those which specify that they will process the events.

   `mode` may be one of the following values:

   * ``wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL``, Send UI update events to all windows
   * ``wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED``, Send UI update events to windows that have the ``wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES`` flag specified


   The default is ``wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL``.

   **Parameters:**

   * `mode` (int)


--------

.. function:: UpdateUIEvent_SetUpdateInterval(updateInterval)
   
   Sets the interval between updates in milliseconds. Set to -1 to disable updates, or to 0 to update as frequently as possible. The default is 0.

   Use this to reduce the overhead of UI update events if your application has a lot of windows. If you set the value to -1 or greater than 0, you may 
   also need to call `wx.Window.UpdateWindowUI <Widgets/wx.Window.html#UpdateWindowUI>`_ at appropriate points in your application, such as when a dialog is about to be shown.

   **Parameters:**

   * `updateInterval` (long)


--------

--------

.. function:: WakeUpIdle()

   This functions wakes up the (internal and platform dependent) idle system, i.e. it will force the system to send an idle event 
   even if the system currently is idle and thus would not send any idle event until after some other event would get sent. 

   This is also useful for sending events between two threads and is used by the corresponding functions `wx.PostEvent <#PostEvent>`_ and 
   `wx.EvtHandler.AddPendingEvent <Widgets/wx.EvtHandler.html#AddPendingEvent>`_.
