GetValue from specific widget

Question

im trying to make it so that the discount box will only accept numeric input to 2dp, and i know the code is roughly solid, but when i run the code, it says CashTransaction has no attribute discount input, and i have been tinkering with this code for the better part of 3 hours now.

i know this code can be run if i put self. in front of pretty much everything, but there must be a simpler way that i am missing, can anyone please help?

import wx

class CashTransaction(wx.Frame):
        def __init__(self):
            wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title = "Cash Transaction",
                                                  size = (450, 470))

            mainpanel = wx.Panel(self)

            font = wx.Font(20, wx.SWISS, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, False, "Mangal")
            title = wx.StaticText(mainpanel, label = "Cash Transaction", style = wx.ALIGN_CENTRE)
            title.SetFont(font)

            titleholder = wx.BoxSizer()
            titleholder.Add(title, 1 , wx.EXPAND)
            mainpanel.SetSizer(titleholder)

Has nothing to do with putting 'self.' on front of everything, but at least being coinsistent on the variables. Look here:

def onAction(self, event):
    disc_value = self.discountinput.GetValue().strip()
    if all(x in "0123456789.+-" for x in disc_value):
        value = round(float(disc_value), 2)
    else:
        discountinput.ChangeValue("number only")

Is it discountinput, or the discountinput from the class (self.discountinput)?

When you declare a class yes define attributes to the class by wirting them as 'self.'.

If you don't declare them as attributes you may not call them as attributes.

Cheers and Happy coding

I did nothing to the code mate, I just showed you a part of your code where within 5 lines you call two different things to the 'same' variable.

Cheers and Happy coding

Tried it that way, it says Global variable discoutinput is not declared. ive tinkered with this code for hours now, and looked on the internet for the solutions, but i cant seem to get it right.

thanks for your input though, i did learn something.

how do i make the .GetValue look for the wx.TextCtrl as opposed to searching through global variables?

self has an important role in a class,it like a transporter off data in a class.
You use self.discountinput in onAction() method.
Then off course it will not find anything if you not using self on what it`s looking for.
Here is a fix so wx.TextCtrl return data in to method onAction()

import wx

class CashTransaction(wx.Frame):
        def __init__(self):
            wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, title = "Cash Transaction",
                                                  size = (450, 470))

            mainpanel = wx.Panel(self)

            font = wx.Font(20, wx.SWISS, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, False, "Mangal")
            title = wx.StaticText(mainpanel, label = "Cash Transaction", style = wx.ALIGN_CENTRE)
            title.SetFont(font)

            titleholder = wx.BoxSizer()
            titleholder.Add(title, 1 , wx.EXPAND)
            mainpanel.SetSizer(titleholder)

            calcpanel = wx.Panel(self)


            self.btn_list = [
                
            "7", "8", "9",
            "4", "5", "6",
            "1", "2", "3",
            "0", ".", "BackSpace"

wow, i did half of the things that you did, just not at the same time, so now i feel like a complete tool.

Thanks though, seeing the complete picture makes it make alot more sense to me, especially with the annotations.
