yeah, that isn't quite what i'm looking for. if anyone has AOL Instant Messanger or GAIM, i'm looking for a way to have the main window (buddylist) and the child windows seperate (im/chat windows)

It is true that liberty is precious, but is it so precious it must be rationed?

Subject: RE: [wxPython] keeping track of multiple windows?
Just off the top of my head, look at such things as wxMDIParentFrame and
wxMDIChildFrame, and other clusters referred to it the appropriate
Overview...
I think (based merely on the names, I haven't read the documentation for
these apart from a risk steam months ago) that you simply create an instance
of the former as an alternative to a wxFrame for a single-window
application--this will be your "main" frame--and multiple instances of the
latter, as children of the former, for your other frames.
Hope I haven't embarrassed myself here!
Cheerio,
Chris

ok, i'm sure everyone's tired of hearing questions from me, but i
have another one. i'm writing a chat app, and when a message
comes in from a user, i need it to go to a window specificially
set up for that user. i tried keeping track of the windows with
a dictionary, but the windows do not seem to be destructed
correctly when the close button is clicked, and come up and lock
when the program is minimized. then, i tried just creating the
windows and having a function loop through self.GetChildren(),
but that did not keep track of the windows. my question is, how
do i keep track of multiple windows, yet still have them destruct
correctly?

Sorry I didn't check the documentation first... apparently you can (at least
according to the docs) use wxFrame's instead of wxMDIChildFrame's (the
latter, of course, aren't really "frames" at all)... but still use a
wxMDIParentFrame as your "main" frame... that way you apparently still get
the "Windows" menu and such...
Hope I haven't just dug a deeper hole for myself... :
