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.toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
  
        td = self.toolbar.AddTool(1, 'right', wx.Bitmap('right.png'), kind = wx.ITEM_CHECK)
        te = self.toolbar.AddTool(2, 'wrong', wx.Bitmap('wrong.png'))
        self.toolbar.Realize()
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TOOL, self.OnOne, td)
  
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
        self.SetTitle('Undo redo')
        self.Centre()
  
    def OnOne(self, e):
        # Toggle tool using ToggleTool() function
        self.toolbar.ToggleTool(toolId = 1, toggle = True)
        # Realize() called to finalize new added tools
        self.toolbar.Realize()
  
    def OnQuit(self, e):
