Questions is: which event I should catch when the text in a control
updated

AS shown in the demo, use EVT_TIMEUPDATE

and how I can get access to self.timeCtrl?

Just like you showed above with XRCCTRL

How to set event
handler for self.timeCtrl that is inside the other class?

The same as you would for any control. Get a reference to the control
and call its Bind method.

For the above example I make following changes:

self.parent.Bind(wx.lib.masked.EVT_TIMEUPDATE,
TimeUpdate,
self.startTime.timeCtrl)

and I recive an error:

AttributeError: 'WorkoutTime' object has no attribute 'timeCtrl'

What is my fault?

You probably want to use just self.startTime, don't you? Are you
expecting self.startTime to have a timeCtrl attribute? Do you give it
one in your code anyplace?

I am puzzled totally! Yes, I want to use just self.startTime. timeCtrl
is created in the Create method of WorkoutTime subclass, is it
timeCtrl its attribute or what? self.startTime itself is not wxTimeCtrl,
right? so it cannot recive EVT_TIMEUPDATE event, right? Uhh, I am
totally puzzled! :-(

I think I am confused now too.

What type is self.startTime? I assume that is the object you are
creating with your XRC subclass?

If it is not a TimeCtrl, but contains one, then yes, you'll need to do
something like self.startTime.timeCtrl to get to it, but if
self.startTime.timeCtrl is not created until the Create then it may
not exist yet. approach you can take is to move the event handler
to the WorkoutTime class and do the binding in Create. Then the
handler can call a method in the parent if needed, or perhaps just send
a message, or whatever.

Doh! I am still confused!

Can somebody give me explanation how I can get value from self.time.Ctrl
that from WorkoutTime in other class - WorkoutsTab. Please, give me
explanation on a example code I provide. Is it what I do is right? Maybe
I should done this task in other way?

class WorkoutTime(wx.Panel):
"""Masked control for workout start/finish time"""

def __init__(self):
p = wx.PrePanel()
# the Create step is done by XRC.
self.PostCreate(p)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_WINDW_CREATE, Create)

def Create(self, event):
"""Create masked control for time control"""
self.timeCtrl = wx.lib.masked.TimeCtrl(self, fmt24hr=True,
display_seconds=False)
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer.Add(self.timeCtrl)
self.SetSizerAndFit(sizer)
self.GetParent().Layout()

self.Bind(wx.lib.masked.EVT_TIMEUPDATE,
TimeUpdate,
self.timeCtrl)

def TimeUpdate(self, event):
return self.timeCtrl.GetValue()

The return value (if any) of an event handler is ignored. In most cases
there is no place to put the value since the calling of the handler is
not coming from your code. What you probably want is something like this:

def GetValue(self):
return self.timeCtrl.GetValue()

If you are running into problems with the timeCtrl not being created yet
(because the widget has not yet been realized on the display) then you
can protect yourself something like this:

def GetValue(self):
if hasattr(self, 'timeCtrl'):
return self.timeCtrl.GetValue()
else:
return ""
