4 min readIn wxPython, when handling multiple evt_text events, you can differentiate between them by using the GetId() method of the event object. This method returns the ID of the widget that triggered the event, allowing you to determine which text control was changed.You can then use conditional statements to execute different code blocks depending on the widget ID. By doing so, you can effectively handle multiple evt_text events in your wxPython application.

4 min readTo programmatically close a wxpython frame, you can use the Close() method on the frame object. This method will trigger the event handler for closing the frame and initiate the process of destroying the frame.

3 min readIn wxPython, GetValue() is a method that is used to retrieve the value of a particular control, such as a text box or a combo box. This method is commonly used in event handling functions to determine the current value of a control when an event is triggered.To use GetValue(), you first need to identify the control you want to extract the value from. This can be done by assigning a meaningful name or ID to the control when it is created.
