How do I get my wvFrame (the main window on my program) to open in the center of the screen? When I use either “Self.SetCenter(wx.Both)” or “self.CenterOnScreen(),” the window open in the lower right corner of the screen and the bottom third is off the screen. If I don’t add either “Self.SetCenter(wx.Both)” or “self.CenterOnScreen(),” to my code, the window opens to the left of the screen with the bottom 10% off screen. IN either case the user needs to move the window to see the entire frame?
after the line:
mathframe = MathFrame(None, -1, "")
or doesn't it work for you?

At the time you call CenterOnScreen the frame has a small default size and so wx is centering based on that size. Later you add items to sizers and call Fit and it becomes much larger and the edges of the frame go off the screen while keeping the same position. Move your call to CenterOnScreen to *after* the size has been set and you'll see results more like what you are expecting.
