Hi Folks,
I'm having a problem with my app where the process seems to hang on
exit
if I have displayed a custom dialog box (my own class derived from
wx.Dialog). It seems like the dialog is starting a thread that isn't
exiting.Here's the sequence of events:
1) from cmd line launch app
2) in app open my dialog (ShowModal)
3) close dialog (EndModal, dialog closes fine and control is restored
to
the app)
4) close app (command prompt is not returned, I have to ctl-C to kill
it)I have checked this on Win32, Linux and OSX; all three exhibit the
same
behavior so it wouldn't appear to be platform related.
Is it something I'm doing (or more likely, not doing),
You forgot to Destroy() the dialog. When it closes it is not
automatically destroyed like frames are because they need to continue to
exist for you to be able to get the data out of them. Because of some
implementation details to make other things work better, I am unable to
rely on the Python proxy for the dialog going out of scope to destroy
the C++ dialog object, so you have to do it yourself. If you don't call
dialog.Destroy() then the C++ object still exists and so MainLoop
doesn't exit because there are still top-level windows.
