What event is emitted by wxPython when an item in a CheckListCtrlMixin is checked?

Question

I am using the CheckListCtrlMixin to let a user enable and disable plugins for my application. I would like to update my internal model as soon as the user checks/unchecks an item in the list. What event is emitted by the CheckListCtrlMixin when an item is checked? ``` class CheckListCtrl(wx.ListCtrl, CheckListCtrlMixin, ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin): def __init__(self, parent): wx.ListCtrl.__init__(self, parent, -1, style=wx.LC_REPORT | wx.SUNKEN_BORDER) CheckListCtrlMixin.__init__(self) ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin.__init__(self) ``` Neither of the following emit when an item is checked or unchecked: ``` self.pluginlist = CheckListCtrl(win) ... add a bunch of items to the list ... self.pluginlist.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED, self.on_item_activated) self.pluginlist.Bind(wx.EVT_LIST_ITEM_SELECTED, self.on_item_selected) ```

Accepted Answer

`CheckListCtrlMixin` does not emit an event for un/checking an item. Instead, it calls the overridable method:

```
def OnCheckItem(self, index, flag):
    "flag is True if the item was checked, False if unchecked"
    pass
```

To 'bind' the 'event' outside your `CheckListCtrl` class, you can use:

```
self.pluginlist.OnCheckItem = self.on_check_item
```
