import wx app = wx.App() frame = wx.Frame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Text Control Example") panel = wx.Panel(frame) text_ctrl = wx.TextCtrl(panel, wx.ID_ANY, "", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE) sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) sizer.Add(text_ctrl, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 10) panel.SetSizer(sizer) frame.Show() app.MainLoop() |
In the above example we have imported wx module and creates an instance of the wx.App class. after that we creates wx.Frame object with title and wx.Panel object to hold our wx.TextCtrl. than we creates wx.TextCtrl object with wx.TE_MULTILINE style to allow for multiple lines of input, and add it to the panel using a sizer. and lastly we set the panel sizer and display the frame, you can also customize wx.TextCtrl by passing different styles to style parameter. for example you can set the control to read only by using wx.TE_READONLY, or you can enable password input by using wx.TE_PASSWORD.
Also wx.TextCtrl supports different events that you can bind to handle user input or other actions. for example you can bind to wx.EVT_TEXT event to handle changes in text input, or the wx.EVT_TEXT_ENTER event to handle when the user presses the Enter key.
Run the code and this will be the result
