I think this is just a crisis of expectations: you're expecting
wxPopupTransientWindow to do something it simply was not
designed to do.

A transient window is intended for tool tips or balloon help
windows: it
displays some static information, and closes as soon as anything
interesting happens, including mouse clicks. It was not designed to
handle complicated multi-button UI, such as you are attempting.

If that's the case (Robin et al: Is it?) then may I suggest that the demo be
updated since it says:

"""
[wxPopupWindow] is a special
kind of top level
window that can be used for
popup menus, combobox popups
and such.
...

wxPopupTransientWindow is a
wxPopupWindow which disappears
automatically when the user
clicks the mouse outside it or if it
loses focus in any other way.
"""

Which seems to exactly match my usage.

Regards,

Rich
