[wxPython-users] menu IDs

[Christopher Barker]

I try to avoid IDs everywhere -- it just seems clunky to me. Why not =

just keep a reference to the menu item, rather than its ID:


         menuEdit =3D wx.Menu()
         self.edit_town =3D menuEdit.Append(wx.ID_ANY, text=3D"&Towns...")
         self.edit_city =3D menuEdit.Append(wx.ID_ANY, text=3D"&Cities...")

then:

     def refreshMenu(self):

	...
         edit_town =3D self.edit_town
         edit_city =3D self.edit_city
         ...
         if ncity > 0 :
             edit_city.Enable(False)
         else:
             edit_city.Enable(True)

Enclosed is a working version.

By the way. In the future, please try to post a complete, self =

contained, working (as much as you can) sample app. That way we can =

tweak it and test it with little effort.
