wxPython: StaticText Event

According to the book "wxPython In Action", page 186:

"One feature that you cannot see from just the figure is that the
wx.StaticText window never receives or responds to mouse events, and
never takes the user focus."



If you want to create static text that responds to mouse events, try
using the wx.lib.stattext.GenStaticText class.  

Add the following import:

import wx.lib.stattext

Then,

self.st = wx.lib.stattext.GenStaticText(self.pnl, -1, 'Static Text
Control', pos=(30,20))

Regards,

John
