In this article we are going to learn a simple function that is FindById() in wx.ToolBar class of wxPython. FindById is a simple function and returns a pointer to the tool identified by id or None if no corresponding tool is found. FindById() takes only single parameter that is id of a particular tool.

Syntax :
wx.ToolBar.FindById(self, id)
Parameters :

Parameter Input Type Description

toolid int An integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations.

Returns : Return pointer to corresponding tool. Return Type:
wx.ToolBarToolBase

Parameter	Input Type	Description
toolid	int	An integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations.

Code Example 1:

Python3

import wx
 
 
class Example(wx.Frame):
    global count
    count = 0;
 
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
 
        self.InitUI()
 
    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)
        self.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        # Add Tools Using AddTool function
        rtool = self.toolbar.AddTool(13, 'twoTool', wx.Bitmap('wrong.png'), shortHelp ="Simple Tool2")
 
        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Control')
        self.Centre()
 
        # print wx.ToolBarToolBase object of tool
        print(self.toolbar.FindById(13))
 
 
def main():
    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output :

<wx._core.ToolBarToolBase object at 0x0000003D2DB241F0>
