another stupid wxPython question on my part.
It looks like I do have a wxFrame member variable which I can set
"otherWin". It is used in the demo but not documented otherwise.
Mainly I am interested in how to get all windows of one application.
It seems to be okay to just add windows without parent within an
application and they all will be treated equally by the main loop.
So how do I get a hold of them?
Concluding from hints in the documentation I should use a main frame
and several subframes which do use this main frame as a parent.
Then I should be able to get the Children with the GetChildren
or so method. Is this correct?
How can I get the parent of a windows/frame?
Somewere in the docs I recall that a child window will always be
displayed on top of the parent windows under Windows(?). If this is
true how do I create windows which are treated equally?
Sorry for being so vaque,
Bernhard
ps.: PLease cc relevant replies as I am not on the list.

That only exists and is used in the demo.

Everytime you create a frame, append it to a list. When a frame is closed it can remove itself from this list.

and several subframes which do use this main frame as a parent.

Yes, but it will also get non-frame children as well.
How can I get the parent of a windows/frame?
frame.GetParent()

displayed on top of the parent windows under Windows(?). If this is

As you said above, create the frame with no parent.

This is strange, because I used it in a different application
I was adding to and it did exist as a member.
In Python, unless you take action to prevent it, "anyObj.attr = something" will create an attribute in the object. It doesn't mean that the object or the rest of the system knows anything about it.

Well wouldn't it make sense to keep this list automatically by
wxWindows?
It does, but there is currently no access to it in wxPython. Probably should be though. (Yet another item goes onto the ToDo list...)

Okay, but I could decide between them, right?
Currently all you will get is a list of wxWindow objects. You won't be able to tell them apart. (I've got a fix partially implemented for this BTW.)

Well, of course. *dang*
I was put off because the window appeared. How humiliating...

Okay, thanks.
