This is the Advanced Generic Widgets package (AGW). It provides many custom-drawn wxPython controls: some of them can be used as a replacement of the platform native controls, others are simply an addition to the already rich wxPython widgets set.
Description:
AGW contains many different modules, listed below. Items labelled with an asterisk were already present in lib before:
- AdvancedSplash: reproduces the behaviour of SplashScreen, with more advanced features like custom shapes and text animations;
- AquaButton: this is another custom-drawn button class which approximatively mimics the behaviour of Aqua buttons on the Mac;
- AUI: a pure-Python implementation of aui, with many bug fixes and new features like HUD docking and AuiNotebook tab arts;
- BalloonTip: allows you to display tooltips in a balloon style window (actually a frame), similarly to the Windows XP balloon help;
- ButtonPanel (*): a panel with gradient background shading with the possibility to add buttons and controls still respecting the gradient background;
- CubeColourDialog: an alternative implementation of ColourDialog, it offers different functionalities like colour wheel and RGB cube;
- CustomTreeCtrl (*): mimics the behaviour of TreeCtrl, with almost the same base functionalities plus a bunch of enhancements and goodies;
- FlatMenu: as the name implies, it is a generic menu implementation, offering the same MenuBar / Menu / ToolBar capabilities and much more;
- FlatNotebook (*): a full implementation of the Notebook, and designed to be a drop-in replacement for Notebook with enhanced capabilities;
- FloatSpin: this class implements a floating point spinctrl, cabable (in theory) of handling infinite-precision floating point numbers;
- FoldPanelBar (*): a control that contains multiple panels that can be expanded or collapsed a la Windows Explorer/Outlook command bars;
- FourWaySplitter: this is a layout manager which manages four children like four panes in a window, similar to many CAD software interfaces;
- GenericMessageDialog: it is a possible replacement for the standard MessageDialog, with a fancier look and extended functionalities;
- GradientButton: another custom-drawn button class which mimics Windows CE mobile gradient buttons, using a tri-vertex blended gradient background;
- HyperLinkCtrl (*): this widget acts line an hyper link in a typical browser;
- HyperTreeList: a class that mimics the behaviour of gizmos.TreeListCtrl, with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- InfoBar: a transient window shown at top or bottom of its parent window to display non-critical information to the user;
- KnobCtrl: a widget which lets the user select a numerical value by rotating it, like a slider with a wheel shape;
- LabelBook and FlatImageBook: these are a quasi-full implementations of ListBook, with additional features;
- MultiDirDialog: it represents a possible replacement for DirDialog, with the additional ability of selecting multiple folders at once and a fancier look;
- PeakMeter: this widget mimics the behaviour of LED equalizers that are usually found in stereos and MP3 players;
- PersistentControls: widgets which automatically save their state when they are destroyed and restore it when they are recreated, even during another program invocation;
- PieCtrl and ProgressPie: these are simple classes that reproduce the behavior of a pie chart, in a static or progress-gauge-like way;
- PyBusyInfo: constructs a busy info window and displays a message in it: it is similar to BusyInfo;
- PyCollapsiblePane: a pure Python implementation of the original wxWidgets C++ code of CollapsiblePane, with customizable buttons;
- PyGauge: a generic Gauge implementation, it supports the determinate mode functions as Gauge;
- PyProgress: it is similar to ProgressDialog in indeterminated mode, but with a different gauge appearance and a different spinning behavior;
- RibbonBar: the RibbonBar library is a set of classes for writing a ribbon user interface, similar to the user interface present in recent versions of Microsoft Office;
- RulerCtrl: it implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom, left or right to any wxPython widget. It is somewhat similar to the rulers you can find in text editors software;
- ShapedButton: this class tries to fill the lack of “custom shaped” controls in wxPython. It can be used to build round buttons or elliptic buttons;
- ShortcutEditor: a widget that allows the user to customize and change keyboard shortcuts via a dialog;
- SpeedMeter: this widget tries to reproduce the behavior of some car controls (but not only), by creating an “angular” control;
- SuperToolTip: a class that mimics the behaviour of TipWindow and generic tooltips, with many features and highly customizable;
- ThumbnailCtrl: a widget that can be used to display a series of images in a “thumbnail” format; it mimics, for example, the Windows Explorer behavior when you select the “view thumbnails” option;
- ToasterBox: a cross-platform widget to make the creation of MSN-style “toaster” popups easier;
- UltimateListCtrl: mimics the behaviour of ListCtrl, with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- XLSGrid: a class based on grid.Grid that can be used to faithfully reproduce the appearance of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheets;
- ZoomBar: a class that appoximatively mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock, inside a Panel.
Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D
