OK/CANCEL order in "custom" dialogs created with wxglade

Question

I've noticed that standard dialogs some CANCEL and OK buttons in different order under Windows and under Linux. Under Linux, you get "[CANCEL] [OK]", and under Windows, "[OK] [CANCEL]".

I have no problem with the standard dialogs, but then my "custom dialogs" must be tweaked to match the same order, dependent of the O.S.

My doubts:

1.- It seems to exist a class called wx.StdDialogButtonSizer, but I'm not sure how it should be used. Can somebody post any working simple / working example?

And the "Main question":

2.- I use wxglade to "build" code for the dialogs, so I'm not sure I can use StdDialogButtonSizer. Is there a way to define the dialog with a given order, and in run-time check if the buttons follow the right order and "exchange" those two widgets if not?

Thanks

Answer 1

The StdDialogButtonSizer is definitely the way to go for custom dialogs. Here's a simple example:

import wx

########################################################################
class SampleDialog(wx.Dialog):
    """"""

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    def __init__(self, parent):
        """Constructor"""
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, title="Tutorial")

        btnOk = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_OK)
        btnCancel = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_CANCEL)

        btnSizer = wx.StdDialogButtonSizer()
        btnSizer.AddButton(btnOk)
        btnSizer.AddButton(btnCancel)
        btnSizer.Realize()
        self.SetSizer(btnSizer)

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.App(False)
    dlg = SampleDialog(None)
    dlg.ShowModal()

I don't know if there's a way to do this in Glade or not though.
