[wxPython] focus not set in miniframe after dialog

wxPython Users

From a wxgrid-derived class in a splitter window in a wxframe, in a

function called by an OnCellChange method...

I first put up a wxTextEntryDialog, and then after the user closes
that, based on further results, sometimes put up a wxMiniFrame-derived
window.

The second window doesn't get the focus, even if I set it
explicitly with SetFocus. It does get the focus if I comment out the
wxTextEntryDialog. Any thoughts?

Here's the function, and the wxMiniFrame-based class:

    def do_match(self, row):
        dlg = wxTextEntryDialog(self, 'Comment regarding the match',
                                'Enter comments')
        if dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:
            note = dlg.GetValue()
        else: note = ''
        dlg.Destroy()
        debug("Note was: %s"%note)
        key1 = self.grid1.table.records[0][self.grid1.table.datalist.primary_key]
        key2 = self.grid2.table.records[row][self.grid2.table.datalist.primary_key]
        further_matches = self.matchset.make_match(key1, key2, note)

        if further_matches:
      win = MatchMiniFrame(self, -1, "This is a wxMiniFrame",
                          wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200, 200),
                          wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE | wxTINY_CAPTION_HORIZ)
           self.otherWin = win
           win.Show(true)

class MatchMiniFrame(wxMiniFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size, style):
        wxMiniFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size, style)
        panel = wxPanel(self, -1)

        button = wxButton(panel, 1003, "Close Me")
        button.SetPosition(wxPoint(15, 15))
        EVT_BUTTON(self, 1003, self.OnCloseMe)
        EVT_CLOSE(self, self.OnCloseWindow)

    def OnCloseMe(self, event):
        self.Close(true)

    def OnCloseWindow(self, event):
        self.Destroy()

Does it make any difference if you set the focus back to the parent window
after the dialog is destroyed but before the miniframe is shown? What if
you use a wxFrame instead of a wxMiniFrame?

Already tried both; neither help.

Try an explicit
frame.RemoveChild(dlg)

after the

dlg.Destroy()

This worked around a similar problem for me--incidentally, it was due to
someone on this list (can't remember who), not to me...

Hope this works...
