Hello,
My first post here ... First of all many thanks for the great toolkit!
Note: I'm working on my first GUI ever, so be gentle 
I noticed the wx docs have the FindWindowById(), which mention it will
search from the root frames and dialogs.
So, I quickly found out that doesn't work. If you scroll up just a little
bit, you discover that in wxPython FindWindow() is "aliased" to
FindWindowById (and Name), searching only the children, effectively
overloading wx's standard one ... (Maybe this should be documented in the
other 2 methods as well???)
So, how do I access the original one? That searches from the root(s)?
And if that's not possible, is there a simple GetRoot() type function/method
so that I may use that and call FindWindowById() on IT instead?
Much thanks,
J.F.
