wxpython horizontal listctrl

Question

I want to display a list of icons in horizontal format in wxpython. I'm using wxglade and I can't find how to set list's orientation. Each item has an icon and below that it has a caption. Is this kind of design possible?

Ive never seen anyone who wanted to do this.... I dont think you need a list control though... — Joran Beasley, Sep 03 '12 at 19:12

something like

class MyList(wx.ScrollPanel):
   def __init__(self,the_list,parent):
      wx.ScrollPanel.__init__(self,parent,-1)
      self.SetMinSize((parent.GetSize()[0],-1))
      sz = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
      for Item in the_list:
           sz.Add(Item)
      self.SetSizer(sz)
      self.Layout()

where each item in the_list is a wx.Panel that includes your icon and text...

something like this at least... its untested... and no idea how you would do it within wxGlade

The ListCtrl doesn't support that in report mode. I suppose you might be able to do it with one of the other style flags though. However Joran has the right idea. However, I would create a series of wx.Image or wx.StaticBitmap widgets and add them to a horizontal BoxSizer instead of what he did.
