Folded Panel

[Stefano Mtangoo]

I want to use folded panel in wxPython, like one In explorer in Windows XP. I have tried to check through API and Demo but I cannot Get Idea. The Demo example is complicated
Anyone to get me up and running. I'm still googling, but your help is highly appreciated ;)

for quick demo, I have such a small quick code below, I want to put those three panels in side like the win XP's explorer, how do I do that?

I have attached the code and a photo

I Have made it. But I have problem in adding object of class myPanel to foldable panel. Is that possible in the first place?

import wx
import wx.lib.agw.foldpanelbar as fpb

class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        #Happy Widgetting!
        self.label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Testing Panel")
        self.slider1 = wx.Slider(self, -1)
        self.slider2 = wx.Slider(self, -1)
        self.slider3 = wx.Slider(self, -1)

        #Sizers are way to go!
        vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        vbox.Add(self.label, 0, wx.EXPAND)
        vbox.Add(self.slider1, 0, wx.EXPAND)
        vbox.Add(self.slider2, 0, wx.EXPAND)
        vbox.Add(self.slider3, 0, wx.EXPAND)

        self.SetSizer(vbox)
        #self.Layout()


class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title)

        #Happy widgetting!

Just ignore my commenting and triple quotes. It is just the way I play with codes when testing
