Does anyone have a good recipe for temporarily disabling the resizing of a frame. I'm locking up the interface temporarily while doing a longish calculation in another thread. wx.BeginBusyCursor does most of the work, but I'd also like to prevent resizing of the frame since that's causing me some headaches.
Thanks,

Never mind. I should have been using WindowDisabler, not BusyCursor. However, when using WindowDisabler it appears that the cursor always ends up as an arrow, setting it to an hourglass doesn't work. A couple of other approaches almost worked, but turned out to be fragile, so I just punted and went with ProgressDialog.

You can use frame.SetSizeHints to limit frame resizing.
