How to ensure console window closes?

Hi,

I have a MDIFrame app. It prints a few lines to the console window. The
console window does not close when Destroy() is called, but the app
window does close. Don't know if this is pertinent, but the app is both
a CORBA client and a CORBA server. Any ideas how to get the console
window to close?

XP sp1, Python 2.2.1, wxPython 2.4.1.2

Thank you

Bruce

When you say console do you mean the Windows command line window, or the wxPython stdout/stderr window that pops up when the print statement happens?

If the former then you just need to ensure that your app is run with pythonw.exe (either explicitly or implicitly by changing the file extension to .pyw.)

If the latter then you can probably fix it by telling the app to use your main frame as the parent of the popup window when it creates it. The way to do that is to call app.SetTopWindow(theFrame).
