wxpython close parent on click button - button

Question

I've been searching all morning for what should be the simplest thing ever but I'm either not looking in the right places or not understanding the answers I'm reading as everything I've tried has failed so far.
I'm creating a dialog with a label, a text input box and a Save button. The user enters text in the box, clicks on save and the text is saved to a variable and the dialogue should close. I can't get the last bit to happen. The closest I've come is destroying the button and the grey background but leaving the panel itself intact. I'm looking for some sort of KillParent solution... My main issue is that when I click the button I need two separate things to happen (save and exit) so when I call the on click function once I have done the variable saving I no longer have control to kill the main window. I know it's really elementary stuff but I just can't figure it out.
class ShowConnString(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
self.saveButton =wx.Button(self, label="Save", pos=(360, 50))
self.lblname = wx.StaticText(self, label="ConnectionString:", pos=(20,20))
self.editname = wx.TextCtrl(self, value="server='(local)', database='Audit', uid='sa', pwd='_PWD4sa_'", pos=(125, 18), size=(600,-1))
self.saveButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.SaveConnString)
def SaveConnString(self, event):
self.editname.SelectAll()
self.connstringtext = self.editname.GetStringSelection()
print (self.connstringtext)

Answer 1

Its a bit messy but I don't have time to clean it up at the moment, it should use a sizer in the showconnstring class.
import wx
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "Dialog Test",size=(500,400))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.log = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, size=(400,300),style = wx.TE_MULTILINE|wx.TE_READONLY|wx.VSCROLL)
self.button = wx.Button(self.panel, label="Click me")
sizer.Add(self.log, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 10)
sizer.Add(self.button, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 10)
self.panel.SetSizer(sizer)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButton)
def OnButton(self,event):
dlg = ShowConnString(parent = self.panel)
dlg.ShowModal()
if dlg.result_name:
self.log.AppendText("Name: "+dlg.result_name+"\n")
self.log.AppendText("Spin: "+str(dlg.result_spin)+"\n")
self.log.AppendText("Choice: "+str(dlg.result_choice)+"\n")
else:
self.log.AppendText("No selection made\n")
dlg.Destroy()
class ShowConnString(wx.Dialog):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, "Save", size= (650,220))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self,wx.ID_ANY)
self.lblname = wx.StaticText(self.panel, label="Connection", pos=(20,20))
self.editname = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, value="server=127.0.0.1", pos=(110,20), size=(500,-1))
self.lbl_1 = wx.StaticText(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, ("Spin Control"), pos=(20,60))
self.spin = wx.SpinCtrl(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, "", min=1, max=10, pos=(110,60))
self.lbl_2 = wx.StaticText(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, ("Choice"),pos=(20,100))
self.choice = wx.Choice(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, choices=[("Choice 1"), ("Choice 2"), ("Choice 3")], pos=(110,100))
self.saveButton =wx.Button(self.panel, label="Save", pos=(110,160))
self.closeButton =wx.Button(self.panel, label="Cancel", pos=(210,160))
self.saveButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.SaveConnString)
self.closeButton.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnQuit)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnQuit)
self.spin.SetValue(0)
self.choice.SetSelection(0)
self.Show()
def OnQuit(self, event):
self.result_name = None
self.Destroy()
def SaveConnString(self, event):
self.result_name = self.editname.GetValue()
self.result_spin = self.spin.GetValue()
self.result_choice = self.choice.GetSelection()
self.Destroy()
app = wx.App()
frame = MyFrame(None)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

It appears that you are attempting to sub-class a wx.TextEntryDialog but using wx.Panel.
You will probably find much simpler to just use a wx.TextEntryDialog directly i.e.
import wx
app = wx.App()
dlg = wx.TextEntryDialog(None,"Connection String:","Save","server='(local)', database='Audit', uid='sa', pwd='_PWD4sa_'")
dlg.SetSize((600,180))
if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
text = dlg.GetValue()
print text
dlg.Destroy()
