Hi,
I need to build a UI using wxPython to an existing ObjectARX application.
[An ObjectARX application is "a dynamic link library (DLL) that shares the address space of AutoCAD and makes direct function calls to AutoCAD". It is written in C++, the output is an .arx file which may be run only under AutoCAD.]
The UI will be made mostly of modeless dialog boxes.
About modeless dialogs the ObjectARX library states:
"Since AutoCAD attempts to take focus away from all of its child windows, modeless dialogs have a special requirement. At regular intervals, the modeless dialog will get a WM_ACAD_KEEPFOCUS window message. When your dialog gets this message, it must return TRUE if it should keep focus. "
The ObjectARX library allows the programmer to get the main frame of AutoCAD:
// Returns the pointer to AutoCAD CMDIFrameWnd object
CMDIFrameWnd* acedGetAcadFrame();
The problem is that this frame is returned as a CMDIFrameWnd*.
If the ObjectARX library returned a wxFrame* instead of this CMDIFrameWnd*, things would have been a lot easier for me 
But since it does not, could anyone help me to figure out how to use this CMDIFrameWnd* as a wxFrame* (as parent of a modeless dialog) within a Python function?
Thank you,
Cristina.
