Opening a frame from ListCtrl item in Mac OS X

This is not something new, it happens with 2.6 as well.

Whenever I open a frame from a ListCtrl item (i.e via right click menu, or item double click) the Frame appears in the background instead foreground. Linux and Windows don’t have this issue.

Some more details:

With 2.6 I have used the following for opening the new frame:

  1. item left double-click

  2. space key hit

  3. right click menu item

(2) and (3) always opened the frame in background.

(1) worked well only without adding event.Skip().

now that 2.7 can’t catch the left double-click event and I’m forced to use the activate event all three ways don’t work well.

Is it a bug ? or am I doing something wrong (unlikely)?

Thanks,

Roee.

Have you tried using frame.Raise(), either directly or via wx.CallAfter?

What is the parent of the new frame?

the parent is None.

It happens when the parent is the main frame as well.

Please provide a sample that shows the problem.

I see the following behavior on Mac OSX 10.4, wxPython 2.6 and 2.7, Python 2.4: if I activate the item with the mouse (double click) the new frame is behind the list. If I activate the item with the keyboard (return) the new frame is before the list. Apparently, the mouse event is sent to the list too, causing it to be raised. There is a simple fix though:

     def OnActivate(self, event):
         wx.CallAfter(NewFrame, self)
