wx.ribbon.RibbonToolBar¶

A ribbon tool bar is similar to a traditional toolbar which has no labels.

It contains one or more tool groups, each of which contains one or more tools. Each tool is represented by a (generally small, i.e. 16x15) bitmap.

Events Emitted by this Class¶

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.ribbon.RibbonToolBarEvent parameter.

EVT_RIBBONTOOLBAR_CLICKED: Triggered when the normal (non-dropdown) region of a tool on the tool bar is clicked.
EVT_RIBBONTOOLBAR_DROPDOWN_CLICKED: Triggered when the dropdown region of a tool on the tool bar is clicked. wx.ribbon.RibbonToolBarEvent.PopupMenu should be called by the event handler if it wants to display a popup menu (which is what most dropdown tools should be doing).

With this constructor, Create should be called in order to create the tool bar.

__init__ (self, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=0)

Construct a ribbon tool bar with the given parameters.

Parameters:	parent (wx.Window) – Parent window for the tool bar (typically a wx.ribbon.RibbonPanel). id (wx.WindowID) – An identifier for the toolbar. `ID_ANY` is taken to mean a default. pos (wx.Point) – Initial position of the tool bar. size (wx.Size) – Initial size of the tool bar. style (long) – Tool bar style, currently unused.
