In this article, we are going to learn how can we get different attributes of StaticText like background, foreground colors, and fonts. We use GetClassDefaultAttributes() function to get an object of wx.VisualAttributes. It may or may not take variant as an argument.

Syntax: 
wx.StaticText.GetClassDefaultAttributes() 
or 
wx.StaticText.GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)

Parameters: 

ParameterInput TypeDescription
variantWindowVariantvariant for static text.

Return Type: 
wx.VisualAttributes
 

Code Example:  

Python3
import wx


class Example(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.pnl = wx.Panel(self)

        bmp = wx.Bitmap('right.png')
        # CREATE STATICTEXT AT POINT (20, 20)
        self.st = wx.StaticText(self.pnl, id = 1, label ="This is the Label.", pos =(20, 20),
                                size = wx.DefaultSize, style = wx.ST_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE, name ="statictext")

        self.st.SetBackgroundColour((255, 252, 92, 255))
        self.st.SetForegroundColour((14, 96, 150, 255))
        
        # GET DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES OBJECT
        v = self.st.GetClassDefaultAttributes();
        print(v.colBg)
        print(v.colFg)
        print(v.font)

        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('wx.Button')
        self.Centre()

def main():
    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Console Output: 
(240, 240, 240, 255) 
(0, 0, 0, 255)
