Hi Guys,

i am new to wxpython an i have trouble with the menubar.
i tried to write a dynamic menubar that can read the itemnames from an
sqlite3 database, so i can change the language very easy.
like this.

def MakeMenuBar(self):
    self.dbCursor.execute("SELECT " + self.lang[self.langSelect] +"
FROM menu")
    self.menuwords = self.dbCursor.fetchall()
    menu = wx.Menu() ##Filemenu
    item = menu.Append(ID_CONNECT, "%s" %self.menuwords[3])
    .
    .
    .

this works fine, when i draw the menu for the first time, when i want
to change language in runtime, i can not get the menu to redraw.
can someone help me out on this one?
thanks

The easiest thing to do is to just create a new instance of the menubar and menus and then replace the existing one with frame.SetMenuBar(newMenuBar)
