[wxPython] BOA problems

Hello...
I posted this to the Boa forum, but no responses.
I'd appreciate any help from people using it here.

-----------------------------------

[Boa 0.0.5, Win2000, Python 2.1, WxPython2.3]

Boa seems to (more or less) work ok,
up to the point I try and start the form designer. At that point, no
re-painting or updating of any kind occurs (sometimes partial re-draws)
anywhere in the app (including the target wxframe) until I exit the
designer - then Boa starts working again.
Any ideas?

Here are more details:
It appears some things do work:
(1) If I click *twice* when I move to new location, things work a little.
For example, if the focus is on the new wxframe and I click on a tab in the
inspector, the first click will select the new tab, but not redraw it's
contents. A second click on the same tab will redraw it's contents. Doing
this I was able to change a few properties.

(2) This trick does not work when trying to selected a component - the
second click will not select a component, so I can't add anything to the
frame.

(3) If I try the color chooser from the inspector, Boa will appear to hang
until I exit the designer, and then the chooser will appear.

(4) When I run the test application and move the frame, no re-paint is done
at the old position, so it leaves phantom windows behind.

Looks to me like something is off in event-processing?

I should also mention that the wxPython demo works fine.

thanks,

I don't think Boa 0.0.5 works with WxPython 2.3, I think
you have to back off to 2.25 or earlier. Somewhere is the
readme or on the web site or forum I saw mention of this. I had
a string of error messages inside the DOS window whenever I opened
the Designer. (with 2.3 and Python 1.5.2)

The current version of Boa in it's CVS will work with wxPython 2.3.0.
