Setting wxFRAME to ShowModal

wxPython Users

Hi,

I want to be able to use a wxFrame like a wxDialog box with ShowModal behaviour ie. it stops the program from continue to run in the background … what would be the best way to achieve this?

thanks in advance

wxFrame has a MakeModal method. When called it will return immediately instead of waiting for the frame to close as ShowModal does for dialogs, but the effect as perceived by the user is about the same.
