I tried that and it didn't work. What I ended up doing was following Refresh() with wxPostEvent(self, wxPyEvent()), and that seems to produce the desired behaviour (haven't tried it on MSWin yet). Seems like a bit of a hack though... I'd appreciate some more input if anyone has any ideas... thanks

I'm having a heck of a time trying to Refesh a panel. Here's the scenario...
I have a server application running on an embedded system and a client module in pure Python. I want to create a GUI application that shows the state of the connection on program startup. I have code in a wxFrame that looks something like this...
...
def PollForConnection(self):
while self.eth.Connected() is False:
time.sleep(5)
self.panel.Result.SetLabel('Connection Established')
self.panel.Refresh(True)
print 'Updating GUI'
sys.stdout.flush()('Result' is a wxStaticText object)
The problem is that it can take anywhere between 0 and 20 seconds after the call to 'Refresh()' for the panel to redraw itself. Curiously, if there is a pending Refresh, the panel will redraw itself immediately when I drag the mouse pointer over it. I'm a wxWidgets newbie, so I'm at a bit of a loss here...
I'm using python 2.3 and wxWidgets 2.4.2 on Debian Linux... ideally, I would like a solution that works on both linux and MSWin. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...This came up a while back, and from what I remember Refresh() pretty
much just marks the window as "dirty" but calling Update() causes the
dirty window to be immediately repainted. So you call Refresh() then
Update(). I think ...
