Working on a user interface and some of the text inputs are prefilled with default information. AS seen in the below screencap the text that I have preset is both highlighted and hidden behind the left edge of the TextCtrl. How can I fix this?
Screen Cap:
The text is highlighted when the window-frame is in focus on Windows. It wasn't when I snipped it. The fulle text is "/var/lib/cmt/tomcat/CDES"
(Sorry for image size, I don't know how to resize it in SOF's post interface)
Directly relavent code:
DirPath_O_Text = wx.StaticText(panel,label='Remote Directory Path', style=wx.ALIGN_RIGHT)
self.DirPath_O_TC = wx.TextCtrl(panel)
self.DirPath_O_TC.ChangeValue("/var/lib/cmt/tomcat/CDES")
hbox1.Add(DirPath_O_Text, proportion=1,flag=wx.EXPAND|wx.BOTTOM,border=10)
hbox1.Add((25,-1))
hbox1.Add(self.DirPath_O_TC, proportion=1,)
hbox1.Add((25,-1))
