Wxpython: How to use different border color for Search box

Question

I am using wx.SearchCtrl and I need a red border around the search field. In the documentation, I could not find anything to do this easily. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can't change the border colour directly, but you could use the usual trick with making this search control a child of wx.Panel with the background colour you want and make it just a few pixels smaller than its parent.
