---

ActivateMenu(menuInfo)

Activates a menu.

Parameters:menuInfo – an instance of MenuEntryInfo.

---

ActivateNextMenu()

Activates next menu and make sure all others are non-active.

---

ActivatePreviousMenu()

Activates previous menu and make sure all others are non-active.

---

AddCheckTool(toolId, label="", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, shortHelp="", longHelp="")

Adds a new check (or toggle) tool to the toolbar.

See also

AddTool for parameter descriptions.

---

AddControl(control)

Adds any control to the toolbar, typically e.g. a combobox.

Parameters:control – the control to be added, a subclass of wx.Window (but no wx.TopLevelWindow).

---

AddRadioTool(toolId, label= "", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, shortHelp="", longHelp="")

Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.

Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released.

You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.

By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.

See also

AddTool for parameter descriptions.

---

AddSeparator()

Adds a separator for spacing groups of tools in toolbar.

---

AddTool(toolId, label="", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, kind=wx.ITEM_NORMAL, shortHelp="", longHelp="")

• label (string) – the tool label string;
• kind (integer) – may be wx.ITEM_NORMAL for a normal button (default), wx.ITEM_CHECK for a checkable tool (such tool stays pressed after it had been toggled) or wx.ITEM_RADIO for a checkable tool which makes part of a radio group of tools each of which is automatically unchecked whenever another button in the group is checked;
• bitmap1 – the primary tool bitmap, an instance of wx.Bitmap;
• bitmap2 – the bitmap used when the tool is disabled. If it is equal to wx.NullBitmap, the disabled bitmap is automatically generated by greing out the normal one;
• shortHelp (string) – a string used for the tools tooltip;
• longHelp (string) – this string is shown in the wx.StatusBar (if any) of the parent frame when the mouse pointer is inside the tool.
