Recipes about Controls

This section of the wxPython Cookbook contains recipes about various wxPython controls. Look here for "how-to" documents showing what various controls do and how best to use them.

If you can't find what you're looking for then please consider figuring it out and then writing a recipe for the Cookbook so others won't have to go through the same pain you did.

You can use a copy of this CookbookTemplate as a starting point for the recipes you add.
