Show a Frame without acivating it

Hello Les,

Is it possible to show a frame without activating it?

Mhm... do you mean opening a new frame from another frame and then set the
focus back to the father frame? Something along the lines:

newframe = wx.Frame(parentframe, -1, whatever)
newframe.Show()

parentframe.Raise()
parentframe.SetFocus()

If this is not what you want, could you please state your question in a
different way? Or explain better what are your needs?

HTH.

Andrea.

  Hello Andrea,

This is almost perfect, except that parentframe gets deactivated and then activated again.
I do not want 'parentframe' deactivated at all. Just show newframe without changing the active window.

After a day, I think there is no solution.
I would like to create a new feature request for this (and another to implement wx.ListBox.HitTest).
How can I submit a feture request? (Could not do here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=359863&group_id=9863)
