On several occasions recently I found did not know what event to specify to trigger something in my wxPython apps. I had a hard time finding anything close to a comprehensive list of all events available, so I was limited to posting questions on the wxPython users mailing list. And, while this is a wonderful and active list, it would be nice to have a guide even closer at hand.
Cody Precord on the list provided me with a handy way to get this:
1 2 3 4 5 | import wx for x in dir(wx): if x.startswith('EVT_'): print x |
Run that, and out comes a list of all the EVT types. Of course, in some cases you may not know what the event is just from the name, but they are mostly self-explanatory. See for yourself:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | EVT_ACTIVATE EVT_ACTIVATE_APP EVT_BUTTON EVT_CALCULATE_LAYOUT EVT_CHAR EVT_CHAR_HOOK EVT_CHECKBOX |

Wow, this exactly what I’ve been needing for the last month! Thanks!
Sorry but that’s actually not all of the wx events. This does not include all control specific events. Consider the wx.grid events. This site has a list of wx.grid events.
Cheers
@PhilZ Sorry about that, thanks very much for sharing the extra info! I’ve updated your comment and removed the others that came after, let me know if what’s there isn’t accurate.
