Hello,
I'm using wxPython 3.0.1.1 and Python 2.7.8, and am having trouble with positioning of the wxProgress dialog on Windows. It behaves properly on OS X in my tests.
No matter what I do, the progress dialog is centered over its parent window. dlg.CenterOnScreen() has no effect. Changing the parent to None has no effect. Trying to brute-force change the ProgressDialog's size or position has no effect. Nothing has any effect.
In trying to overcome this (because I NEED the progress centered on the screen regardless of where the parent is to avoid it hanging off the edge of the screen), I've discovered more problems. dlg.GetRect(), dlg.GetSize(), and dlg.GetPosition() all report crazy numbers which can be anywhere from the positive billions to the negative tens of millions and bear no relationship to the size or position of the dialog on the screen.
This can all be demonstrated in the wxPython Demo. Try adding "dlg.CenterOnScreen()" just after the ProgressDialog is created. Add "self.log.WriteText("GetRect(): %s" % (dlg.GetRect(),))" to the progress increment loop.
Any suggestions for how to get the wxProgressDialog moved to the center of the screen on Windows would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
David
