is there a way to suppress these warning messages

Hi,

      I get these messages

on OpenSuse 15.1, python 3.6, and wxPython 4.04. I don’t see
them on Windows 10 (of course that makes sense since there is
not GTK). The messages appear on the console but DO NOT
effect the program from running correctly. In the past
(python 2.7 and wxPython 3.x) I use to get a few of these
message but now the list is about 50 - 60 (didn’t really
count). So is there a way suppress the messages??? Below is
just example of the types of messages that appear.

I wish there were. I have a C++ wxWidgets application that also gets 50 or 60 of these messages on startup. The app is basically a notebook with about 10 pages, each of which is a moderately complicated dialog. I SUSPECT that this problem happens while it is building the notebook pages, because the window is not yet visible. I have tried multiple times to step through this in a debugger (and I am very good at C++ debugging), but I cannot find the root cause.

I was afraid that
was the situation.

Thanks for looking,

One trick that may work that I have seen used in the past is to display the window early, (and incomplete), but not visible, e.g. take a note of the intended screen coordinates then
display the incomplete window at a set of coordinates that are outside of the available monitor(s), finish construction & layout then move to the saved coordinates, (ideally ensuring that they are all within the currently available monitor(s)).

I don’t know for sure that this will help but it could be worth a try.
