Sorry about such basic question but I've been reading/searching for
the answer since lunch and haven't found anything I understand. I'm
trying to lookup up a name in a database. Here is the code so far:
class screen1(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent, id):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, id)
# A button
self.button =wx.Button(self, 10, "Search", wx.Point(200, 200))
wx.EVT_BUTTON(self, 10, self.OnClick)
# the edit control - one line version.
self.lblname = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Enter the first
letters of the last name:",wx.Point(40,60))
self.editname = wx.TextCtrl(self, 20, "", wx.Point(300, 60),
wx.Size(140,-1))
def OnClick(self,event):
Repository(frame, -1, namefrag=self.editname.GetValue())
def main():
app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, title='EMR', pos=(350,300), size=(850,500))
#Repository(frame, -1)
screen1(frame, -1)
frame.Center()
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The error I'm getting is 'global name frame not defined'. Obviously I
thought I had defined it in main(). Also, I'm not sure how to
reference the value in a control. Is 'self.editname.GetValue()'
correct?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
