Sorry, I don't fully understand what you are trying to say about using debug and a checkpoint. Please make a runnable, small as possible, sample application that demonstrates the problem, and let us know the platform and wx version. MakingSampleApps - wxPyWiki

Sorry my poor english,

I try to give a better description of my trouble:
If I run the software and then try to see the help window it appears blank, but when I run the program through a debuguer and if I stop the ejecution at a point before the help panel display and then I continued the software with its normal execution then the problem disappears.

I add a sample code

Thanks

Try saving a reference to the HelpData object instead of using a local variable for it. In other words, use self.helpData instead of just helpData.

Is there any particular reason you are creating your own window for this instead of just using the HtmlHelpController?

thank you so much

I did the change as you say and now it works, but still i don’t understand why??

In the other hand i saw the HtmlHelpController as a control then i tried to embed the HtmlHelpController into a frame.

You can use the HtmlHelpController to manage all of it for you. If a help frame or help window has not bet been associated with the controller then it will create them itself when it needs to display a help topic, or you can have it display the contents page, etc. It will manage the frame it creates for you.
