WX Problem

I’m having a problem creating a GUI. I’m trying to bind an event to a
button but when i bind the event, the callback is called immediately.
I’m not sure what the heck is happening. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. if you look at the code below you can see that the
callback is getting called immediately.

#Code Snippet

def _create_Gui (self, vbox):
    self.myform = myform = form.form()

    hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
    hbox.Add((5,0),0)

    self.b1 = wx.ToggleButton(self.panel,wx.ID_ANY,"button 1")
    print "1"
    self.b1.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self._setText())
    print "2"
    hbox.Add(self.b1,1,wx.LEFT | wx.RIGHT ,2)

    self.b2 = wx.Button(self.panel,wx.ID_ANY,"button 2")
    hbox.Add(self.b2,1,wx.LEFT | wx.RIGHT ,2)
    vbox.Add(hbox, 0, wx.EXPAND)
    return

def _setText(self):
    print "button pressed"
    self.b1.Show(False)
    return

self.setText() is a call, that’s why it’s getting called right away.
Try self.setText [no parens].

Yeah I figured that out just after I sent the email. Thanks for the
feedback though!
