Dear all,

my App's GUI is internationalized. Choices (MenuItem objects) are dynamically created based on a config setting, in a for loop. The following lines are inside this loop, used to create the ID and assign it a value.

idname = 'ID_LanguageMenu_{}'.format(localename)
globals()[idname] = wx.NewId()
.
.
.
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, lambda event, args=(localename,): self.OnLanguageChange(event, *args), id=globals()[idname]) 
 

To all the MenuItems the same method is bound, that accepts the selected language as an input argument.
The code above works well, e.g. the id can be used to provide argument in the method bound to the generated MenuItems.

I tried to switch to wx.ID_ANY instead of wx.NewId(). This change resulted in always getting the last defined locale as input argument instead of the selected one.

Hope that my description is clear. wx.NewId() is a solution, however I'm curious what the reason might be.

All the best,
Gabor

Hi,
According to the documentation, wx.ID_ANY is used in situations where you don't care what the ID is.

Turns out that wx.NewID is now depricated, and I've been using wx.NewIdRef().GetId() to great affect.

HTH,

Mr. Dunn, Mr. Norman,

The error is obviously on my sinde for not reading and thinking, but doing.
I'll check the migration page - I've never seen it before.

Thank you both for the advice.

All the best,
Gábor
