[wxpython-users] Subclassing TextEntryDialog

[Rickey, Kyle W]

I'm trying to create a dialog that has some basic validation. I've got
it somewhat working except the SetValue method does not work. Below is
an example. Note I can get the desired text in the TextCtrl by passing
it as an argument in the __init__ method. Is this a bug or am I missing
something?

import wx

class SetEmailAddressDialog(wx.TextEntryDialog):
	def __init__(self, parent, prompt, title):
		wx.TextEntryDialog.__init__(self, parent, prompt, title)
		children = self.GetChildren()
		for child in children:
			if str(child.__class__) == "<class
'wx._controls.TextCtrl'>":
				self.text = child
				break
				
		self.text.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT, self.ValidateEmail)
		self.ok_button = self.FindWindowById(wx.ID_OK)
	
	def ValidateEmail(self, event):
		text = self.text.GetValue()
		if text != "" and text != "@something.com":#Valid email
address
			self.ok_button.Enable(True)
		else:
			self.ok_button.Enable(False)
	
	def GetValue(self):
		return self.text.GetValue()
		
	def SetValue(self, value):
		print value
		self.text.SetValue(value)
		

app = wx.App(0)
dlg = SetEmailAddressDialog(None, "Set your email address", "Do it")
dlg.SetValue("this doesn't show up in the dialog")
dlg.ShowModal()
app.MainLoop()
