wxPython questions

Hi, I encountered some problems when using wxPython :

1. I'm using a frame that includes wx.lib.iewin
the Html page will include text and links.
I would like to able to :
1.1 Capture the click event on the link
1.2 Cancel the click event so that the ActiveX browser
won't navigate.
1.3 Open IE app with that link info

The problem:
1.4 Which event does this ActiveX exposes so I can
hook up to it? ( I couldn't find ANY documentation)
2. How to get the IE app path from the registry?
( and then use os.system(path) to run IE )
( I tried to used the absolute path,
but it doesn't work as well
os.system("C:\\Program
Files\\Internet\Explorer\\iexplore.exe")
)

2. Regarding raising events:
I defined custom event class, and Icon class ( which
creates an icon on the task bar). On dbl click on the icon, I
want to raise custom event ( so listeners can hook up to
it) , but since Icon class is a 'plain
one ' - it doesn't have GetEventHandler() method
What is the best way to achieve that?
The code is attached:
###### The custom event class ########
import sys
import wx

class CustomEvt(wx.PyCommandEvent):
def __init__(self, evtType, id=-1):
wx.PyCommandEvent.__init__(self, evtType, id)
self.myVal = None

def SetMyVal(self, val):
self.myVal = val

def GetMyVal(self):
return self.myVal

########## The IconClass ##########
from wxPython.wx import *
import sys
from CustomeEvent import CustomEvt

# custome Events
myEVT_ICON_DBLCLICKED = wxNewEventType()
EVT_ICON_DBLCLICKED = wxPyEventBinder(myEVT_ICON_DBLCLICKED, 0)

class Icon():

def __init__(self):
# instantiate task bar icon
self.tbicon = wxTaskBarIcon()
# set icon
self.updateIcon()
# set up event handlers to catch tray icon events
EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(self.tbicon, self.OnLeftDblClick)
wxInitAllImageHandlers()
return None


def updateIcon(self):
self.tbicon.SetIcon(wxIcon('icon1.ico', wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO), '')


def OnLeftDblClick(self,event):
evt = CustomEvt(myEVT_ICON_DBLCLICKED)
self.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(evt)
event.Skip()


Thanks a lot

One thing you can do is define your own event handler for the pre-navigate event.


The success of this is site dependent.

You could combine that with a call to the webbrowser module.

Have a look at the wx Demo it uses the taskbar icon and has it's own menu.

Tip: when posting code use a code block to get the indentation right!
