Creating a frame/window that doesn't show inthe taskbar

My mileage on that particular style was that it just moved the minimized
representation from a button on the taskbar to a collapsed window on the
desktop! (XP sp1 classic theme, Python 2.2.1 wxPython 2.4.1.2) Funky.

Hello all,

    I need to create a wxFrame that does not show up in the windows
taskbar. Basically, I only want my top-level window to be down there,
and all of the about a dozen other possible windows it may have up at
a given time to not be shown.

   This is on Windows, but when the program run son Linux/MacOSX i'd
like similar behavior. Is it possible?

Add wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR to your frame style argument.

Normally for tool windows like that you would catch the minimize event
and either Hide or Destroy the frame instead of letting it minimize.
Windows defaults to the desktop if you tell it not to go to the taskbar
but still let it minimize.
