        AboutDialogInfo


wx.AboutDialogInfo contains information to be shown in the standard About dialog displayed by the wx.AboutBox function. This class contains the general information about the program, such as its name, version, copyright and so on, as well as lists of the program developers, documentation writers, artists and translators.

While all the main platforms have a native implementation of the about dialog, they are often more limited than the generic version provided by wxWidgets and so the generic version is used if wx.AboutDialogInfo has any fields not supported by the native version. Currently GTK+ version supports all the possible fields natively but MSW and Mac versions don't support URLs, licence text nor custom icons in the about dialog and if either of those is used, wxAboutBox() will automatically use the generic version so you should avoid specifying these fields to achieve more native look and feel.

Method Details

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

wx.AboutDialogInfo contains information to be shown in the standard About dialog displayed by the wx.AboutBox function. This class contains the general information about the program, such as its name, version, copyright and so on, as well as lists of the program developers, documentation writers, artists and translators.

While all the main platforms have a native implementation of the about dialog, they are often more limited than the generic version provided by wxWidgets and so the generic version is used if wx.AboutDialogInfo has any fields not supported by the native version. Currently GTK+ version supports all the possible fields natively but MSW and Mac versions don't support URLs, licence text nor custom icons in the about dialog and if either of those is used, wxAboutBox() will automatically use the generic version so you should avoid specifying these fields to achieve more native look and feel.

Set the list of artists for the program.

Parameters:
artists
           (type=list)

SetCopyright(self, copyright)

Set the short string containing the program copyright information. Notice that any occurrences of "(C)" in copyright will be replaced by the copyright symbol (circled C) automatically, which means that you can avoid using this symbol in the program source code which can be problematic.

desc
           (type=String)

SetIcon(self, icon)

Set the icon to be shown in the dialog. By default the icon of the main frame will be shown if the native about dialog supports custom icons. If it doesn't but a valid icon is specified using this method, the generic about dialog is used instead so you should avoid calling this function for maximally native look and feel.

Parameters:
icon
           (type=Icon)

SetLicence(self, licence)

Set the long, multiline string containing the text of the program licence.

Only GTK+ version supports showing the licence text in the native about dialog currently so the generic version will be used under all the other platforms if this method is called. To preserve the native look and feel it is advised that you do not call this method but provide a separate menu item in the "Help" menu for displaying the text of your program licence.

Parameters:
licence
           (type=String)

SetLicense(self, licence)

This is the same as SetLicence.

Parameters:
licence

Parameters:
name
           (type=String)

SetTranslators(self, translators)

Sets the list of program translators.

Parameters:
translators
           (type=list)

SetVersion(self, version)

Set the version of the program. The version is in free format, i.e. not necessarily in the x.y.z form but it shouldn't contain the "version" word.

Parameters:
version
           (type=String)

SetWebSite(self, args)

SetWebSite(self, URL, [Description])

Set the web site property. The args parameter can either be a single string for the URL, to a 2-tuple of (URL, Description) strings.
