Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be counting mouse clicks using mouse click event inside wxpython gui  desktop app in python. All the full source code of the application is given below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below

pip install wxpython

After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import wx

class TwoButtonEvent(wx.PyCommandEvent):
    def __init__(self, evtType, id):
        wx.PyCommandEvent.__init__(self, evtType, id)
        self.clickCount = 0

    def GetClickCount(self):
        return self.clickCount

    def SetClickCount(self, count):
        self.clickCount = count

myEVT_TWO_BUTTON = wx.NewEventType()
EVT_TWO_BUTTON = wx.PyEventBinder(myEVT_TWO_BUTTON, 1)

class TwoButtonPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, leftText="Left",
            rightText="Right"):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, id)
        self.leftButton = wx.Button(self, label=leftText)
        self.rightButton = wx.Button(self, label=rightText,
                                     pos=(100,0))
        self.leftClick = False
        self.rightClick = False
        self.clickCount = 0
        self.leftButton.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnLeftClick)
        self.rightButton.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnRightClick)

    def OnLeftClick(self, event):
        self.leftClick = True
        self.OnClick()
        event.Skip()

    def OnRightClick(self, event):
        self.rightClick = True
        self.OnClick()
        event.Skip()

    def OnClick(self):
        self.clickCount += 1
        if self.leftClick and self.rightClick:
            self.leftClick = False
            self.rightClick = False
            evt = TwoButtonEvent(myEVT_TWO_BUTTON, self.GetId())
            evt.SetClickCount(self.clickCount)
            self.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(evt)


class CustomEventFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, 'Click Count: 0',
                          size=(300, 100))
        panel = TwoButtonPanel(self)
        self.Bind(EVT_TWO_BUTTON, self.OnTwoClick, panel)

    def OnTwoClick(self, event):
        self.SetTitle("Click Count: %s" % event.GetClickCount())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = CustomEventFrame(parent=None, id=-1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

If you execute the above python script by typing the below command

python app.py
