aio_wx_widgets

Wx python app structure using MVC model. Work in progress, adding widgets when I need them. See the demo folder for usage.

Features:

• Add widgets using context managers.

• Two way Property binding from controller properties to the view.

  # Use a context manager for container types like a group or grid.
  # A group is a container with a label and a sizer inside. Inside
  # this sizer widgets, or other containers can be placed.
  with self.add(Group("A labelled container.")) as group:
      group.add(Text(text="A horizontal grid."))
  
      with group.add(Grid()) as grd:
          # the binding binds to an attribute defined in the controller
          # the weight determines how much space a specific item should consume
          # with respect to the other members of the container.
          grd.add(IntEntry(binding=self.bind("value_1")), weight=6, margin=3)
          grd.add(IntEntry(binding=self.bind("value_1")), weight=4, margin=3)
          grd.add(IntEntry(binding=self.bind("value_1")), weight=4, margin=3)
  

• Proper Margins and alignment of items

  vert_grid.add(
      Text(text="Center aligned text with a large margin."),
      margin=(10, 10, 30, 5),  # (left,right,top,below)
      align_horizontal=AlignHorizontal.center,)
