Hey guys! So now my UI panel works well with this: # Open file button click event binded to openfile btn = wx.Button(self, -1, "Click me") sizer.Add(btn, pos=(7,2)) btn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.openFile)
#set the panel layout self.SetSizer(sizer) #makes the gui system fit all the controls onto the panel7 self.Layout() self.Fit() EVT_DATA_EVENT(self, self.display_data) #self.watcher = traffic_watcher_thread(self.msgq, self) # openfile defined to start FileDialog def openFile(self, evt): with wx.FileDialog(self, "Choose a file", os.getcwd(), "", "*.*", wx.OPEN) as dlg: if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK: path = dlg.GetPath() mypath = os.path.basename(path) So as you guys taught me to do I was opening 'logfile' this way: self.logfile = open('logfile.txt', 'a') And the logger code: #logger code--------------- # first new line self.logfile.write('\n') # date and time self.logfile.write('%s,'%(str(strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime())))) # loop through each of the TextCtrl objects for k,v in self.fields.items(): # get the value of the current TextCtrl field f = field_values.get(k, None) if f: # output the value with trailing comma self.logfile.write('%s,'%(str(f))) #end logger code ---------------- And that is working well. Now I am trying to think of a way to get what is in the logfile.txt into the file that is opened by the user via the UI. Getting stuck trying to come up with an idea!? maybe something in python like 'user_opened_file = logfile' or 'write logfile to user_opened_file'? I am not able to find standard way to do this.
