wx.Dialog
wx.Dialog
A dialog box is a window with a title bar and sometimes a system menu, which can be moved around the screen.
It can contain controls and other windows and is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to answer a question.
Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically, for computers with low resolution screens: please see Automatic Scrolled Dialogs for further details.
Dialogs usually contain either a single button allowing to close the dialog or two buttons, one accepting the changes and the other one discarding them (such button, if present, is automatically activated if the user presses the “Esc” key). By default, buttons with the standard wx.ID_OK
and wx.ID_CANCEL
identifiers behave as expected. Starting with wxWidgets 2.7 it is also possible to use a button with a different identifier instead, seeSetAffirmativeId
and SetEscapeId
.
Also notice that the CreateButtonSizer
should be used to create the buttons appropriate for the current platform and positioned correctly (including their order which is platform-dependent).
Modal and Modeless
There are two kinds of dialog, modal and modeless. A modal dialog blocks program flow and user input on other windows until it is dismissed, whereas a modeless dialog behaves more like a frame in that program flow continues, and input in other windows is still possible. To show a modal dialog you should use the ShowModal
method while to show a dialog modelessly you simply use Show
, just as with frames. Note that the modal dialog is one of the very few examples of Window-derived objects which may be created on the stack and not on the heap. In other words, while most windows would be created like this:
# In Python we don‘t have to worry about the stack vs. the heap, however
# that means that dialogs do need to be destroyed. The typical pattern for
# dialog usage looks something like this:
def AskUser(self):
try:
dlg = MyAskDialog(self)
if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
# do something here
print(‘Hello‘)
else:
# handle dialog being cancelled or ended by some other button
...
finally:
# explicitly cause the dialog to destroy itself
dlg.Destroy()
You can achieve the same result with dialogs by using simpler code:
# Things can be made a little simpler in Python by using the dialog as a
# context manager, using the with statement, like this:
def AskUser(self):
with MyAskDialog(self) as dlg:
if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
# do something here
print(‘Hello‘)
else:
# handle dialog being cancelled or ended by some other button
...
# The dialog is automatically destroyed on exit from the context manager
Window Styles
An application can define a wx.CloseEvent handler for the dialog to respond to system close events. This class supports the following styles:
wx.CAPTION
: Puts a caption on the dialog box.wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE
: Equivalent to a combination ofwx.CAPTION
,wx.CLOSE_BOX
andwx.SYSTEM_MENU
(the last one is not used under Unix).wx.RESIZE_BORDER
: Display a resizable frame around the window.wx.SYSTEM_MENU
: Display a system menu.wx.CLOSE_BOX
: Displays a close box on the frame.wx.MAXIMIZE_BOX
: Displays a maximize box on the dialog.wx.MINIMIZE_BOX
: Displays a minimize box on the dialog.THICK_FRAME
: Display a thick frame around the window.wx.STAY_ON_TOP
: The dialog stays on top of all other windows.NO_3D
: This style is obsolete and doesn’t do anything any more, don’t use it in any new code.wx.DIALOG_NO_PARENT
: By default, a dialog created with aNone
parent window will be given the application’s top level window as parent. Use this style to prevent this from happening and create an orphan dialog. This is not recommended for modal dialogs.wx.DIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP
: Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets will send awxEVT_HELP
event if the user clicked on an application window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by callingSetExtraStyle
before Create is called (two-step construction).wx.DIALOG_EX_METAL
: On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic look. This is an extra style.
Under Unix or Linux, MWM
(the Motif Window Manager) or other window managers recognizing the MHM
hints should be running for any of these styles to have an effect.
Events Emitted by this Class
Handlers bound for the following event types will receive one of the wx.CloseEvent parameters.
- EVT_CLOSE: The dialog is being closed by the user or programmatically (see
wx.Window.Close
). The user may generate this event clicking the close button (typically the ‘X’ on the top-right of the title bar) if it’s present (see theCLOSE_BOX
style) or by clicking a button with theID_CANCEL
orID_OK
ids. - EVT_INIT_DIALOG: Process a
wxEVT_INIT_DIALOG
event. See wx.InitDialogEvent.

,wx.NO
,wx.APPLY
,wx.CLOSE
,wx.HELP
,wx.NO_DEFAULT
.The sizer lays out the buttons in a manner appropriate to the platform.
This function uses
CreateStdDialogButtonSizer
internally for most platforms but doesn’t create the sizer at all for the platforms with hardware buttons (such as smartphones) for which it sets up the hardware buttons appropriately and returnsNone

,EndModal
Iconize
(self, iconize=True)-
Iconizes or restores the dialog.
Windows only.
Parameters: iconize (bool) – If True
, iconizes the dialog box; ifFalse
, shows and restores it.Note
Note that in Windows, iconization has no effect since dialog boxes cannot be iconized. However, applications may need to explicitly restore dialog boxes under Motif which have user-iconizable frames, and under Windows calling Iconize(false) will bring the window to the front, as does Show(true).
IsIconized
(self)-
Returns
True
if the dialog box is iconized.Windows only.
Return type: bool Note
Always returns
False
under Windows since dialogs cannot be iconized.

IsMainButtonId
(self, id)-
Returns
True
if id is in the array of identifiers to be regarded as the main buttons for the non-scrolling area of a dialog.Parameters: id (wx.WindowID) – Return type: bool Availability
Only available for MSW.
See also
Automatic Scrolled Dialogs (for more on layout adaptation)
IsModal
(self)-
Returns
True
if the dialog box is modal,False
otherwise.Return type: bool
SetAffirmativeId
(self, id)-
Sets the identifier to be used as
wx.OK
button.When the button with this identifier is pressed, the dialog calls
wx.Window.Validate
andwx.Window.TransferDataFromWindow
and, if they both returnTrue
, closes the dialog with the affirmative id return code.Also, when the user presses a hardware
wx.OK
button on the devices having one or the specialwx.OK
button in the PocketPC title bar, an event with this id is generated.By default, the affirmative id is
wx.ID_OK
.Parameters: id (int) – See also
GetAffirmativeId
,SetEscapeId
SetEscapeId
(self, id)-
Sets the identifier of the button which should work like the standard “Cancel” button in this dialog.
When the button with this id is clicked, the dialog is closed. Also, when the user presses
ESC
key in the dialog or closes the dialog using the close button in the title bar, this is mapped to the click of the button with the specified id.By default, the escape id is the special value
wx.ID_ANY
meaning thatwx.ID_CANCEL
button is used if it’s present in the dialog and otherwise the button withGetAffirmativeId
is used. Another special value forid iswx.ID_NONE
meaning thatESC
presses should be ignored. If any other value is given, it is interpreted as the id of the button to map the escape key to.Parameters: id (int) – Note
This method should be used for custom modal dialog implemented in wxWidgets itself, native dialogs such as wx.MessageDialog or wx.FileDialog, handle
ESC
presses in their own way which cannot be customized.
SetIcon
(self, icon)-
Sets the icon for this dialog.
Parameters: icon (wx.Icon) – The icon to associate with this dialog. See also
wx.Icon
SetIcons
(self, icons)-
Sets the icons for this dialog.
Parameters: icons (wx.IconBundle) – The icons to associate with this dialog. See also
wx.IconBundle
SetLayoutAdaptationDone
(self, done)-
Marks the dialog as having been adapted, usually by making it scrollable to work with a small display.
Parameters: done (bool) – See also
Automatic Scrolled Dialogs (for more on layout adaptation)
SetLayoutAdaptationLevel
(self, level)-
Sets the aggressiveness of search for buttons and sizers to be in the non-scrolling part of a layout-adapted dialog.
Zero switches off adaptation, and 3 allows search for standard buttons anywhere in the dialog.
Parameters: level (int) – See also
Automatic Scrolled Dialogs (for more on layout adaptation)
SetLayoutAdaptationMode
(self, mode)-
Sets the adaptation mode, overriding the global adaptation flag.
Parameters: mode (DialogLayoutAdaptationMode) – See also
wx.DialogLayoutAdaptationMode, Automatic Scrolled Dialogs (for more on layout adaptation)
- static
SetLayoutAdapter
(adapter) -
A static function for setting the current layout adapter object, returning the old adapter.
If you call this, you should delete the old adapter object.
Parameters: adapter (wx.DialogLayoutAdapter) – Return type: wx.DialogLayoutAdapter See also
wx.DialogLayoutAdapter, Automatic Scrolled Dialogs
SetReturnCode
(self, retCode)-
Sets the return code for this window.
A return code is normally associated with a modal dialog, where
ShowModal
returns a code to the application. The functionEndModal
callsSetReturnCode
.Parameters: retCode (int) – The integer return code, usually a control identifier. See also
GetReturnCode
,ShowModal
,EndModal
Show
(self, show=1)-
Hides or shows the dialog.
The preferred way of dismissing a modal dialog is to use
EndModal
.Parameters: show (bool) – If True
, the dialog box is shown and brought to the front, otherwise the box is hidden. IfFalse
and the dialog is modal, control is returned to the calling program.Return type: bool
ShowModal
(self)-
Shows an application-modal dialog.
Program flow does not return until the dialog has been dismissed with
EndModal
.Notice that it is possible to call
ShowModal
for a dialog which had been previously shown withShow
, this allows to make an existing modeless dialog modal. HoweverShowModal
can’t be called twice without interveningEndModal
calls.Note that this function creates a temporary event loop which takes precedence over the application’s main event loop (see wx.EventLoopBase) and which is destroyed when the dialog is dismissed. This also results in a call to
wx.App.ProcessPendingEvents
.Return type: int Returns: The value set with SetReturnCode
.See also
ShowWindowModal
,ShowWindowModalThenDo
,EndModal
,GetReturnCode
,SetReturnCode
ShowWindowModal
(self)-
Shows a dialog modal to the parent top level window only.
Unlike
ShowModal
, dialogs shown with this function only prevent the user from interacting with their parent frame only but not with the rest of the application. They also don’t block the program execution but instead return immediately, asShow
, and generate a wxEVT_WINDOW_MODAL_DIALOG_CLOSED event ( wx.WindowModalDialogEvent) later when the dialog is closed.Currently this function is only fully implemented in wxOSX ports, under the other platforms it behaves like
ShowModal
(but also sends the above mentioned event).New in version 2.9.0.
