Waiting for user input

Hi,

I am currently developing a POS terminal under wxPython.

When the customer gets in, he is asked to insert his card in a device.

I need to poll on that insertion and want to pop-up some dialog box which will
accept a cancel and that I will be able to close when the card is recognized.

What would be the best way to go about this ?

Regards,

Philippe

Perhaps a progress dialog in indeterminant mode (IOW, use Pulse instead of Update) would be what you are looking for.

Thanks, will look at that - I got it done using a dialog box and a timer.
