[Solved]Mouse over problem in wxpython

[buteman]

I am trying to develop a program for an elderly blind friend who used to love reading her Bible before she became blind. I am trying to develop it using wxpython on my Mint 18.2 laptop with python 3.5.2 installed. I have been shown a skeleton program and am part way through getting it working Here is the code so far

Code: Select all

class MouseEventFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, 'Frame and Button', size=(1210, 400))
        self.panel = wx.Panel(self)
        row = 0
        column = 0
  
        for x in range(1,67):
            txt = books[x]
            myname = txt[0]
            while (len(myname) < 15):
               myname = " " + myname
            while (len(myname) < 20):
                myname += " "
            btn = 'butt' + str(x)
            btn = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, myname, pos=(column, row ) )
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick,btn)
            self.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnterWindow,btn)
            column += 120
            if column == 1200:
                column = 0
                row += 55
    def OnClick(self, event):
       obj = event.GetEventObject()
       print("You clicked %s"%obj.GetLabel())
       event.Skip()       

    def OnEnterWindow(self, event):
        obj = event.GetEventObject()
        print("Success at last!")
        event.Skip()

The OnClick works but nothing happens with the OnEventWindow function.
There is no error generated and the print doesn't do anything either.
I keep thinking I have something but cannot see what.
I hope someone's eyes and brain are sharper than mine.
If I can get the second function working rather than a print I will try to get it to speak the text on the button so she knows what she is hovering the muse over.

I got the from a moderator on a python specific forum.
He suggested I change the

Code: Select all

self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick,btn)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnterWindow,btn)

to this

Code: Select all

btn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick,btn)
btn.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnterWindow,btn)

Which solved the problem.
Why the OnClick worked but not the other with the old settings is a puzzle
