The TextCtrl
control is versatile; it allows the display and entry of textual data in an application. In its default form, TextCtrl
is a single-line entry field that is often used on forms to allow users to input information such as names, places, and descriptions. From wxPython 2.9 onward, TextCtrl
added some features to support auto-completion of input. This feature lets some input help be shown in a pop-up list that filters as the typing narrows down the available options. In this recipe, we will explore how to activate and use some of these features by making a custom the TextCtrl
control that remembers previous entries that were made in it and offers them as input tips the next time data is typed into the field.

wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language built on top of the cross-platform wxWidgets GUI libraries. wxPython provides a powerful set of tools that allow you to quickly and efficiently building applications that can run on a variety of different platforms. Since wxWidgets provides a wrapper around each platform’s native GUI toolkit, the applications built with wxPython will have a native look and feel wherever they are deployed.
This book will provide you with the skills to build highly functional and native looking user interfaces for Python applications on multiple operating system environments. By working through the recipes, you will gain insights into and exposure to creating applications using wxPython. With a wide range of topics covered in the book, there are recipes to get the most basic of beginners started in GUI programming as well as tips to help experienced users get more out of their applications. The recipes will take you from the most basic application constructs all the way through to the deployment of complete applications.
