Hi,
When I try to use wxTextEntryDialog it doesn't get the focus. The focus
goes back to the main window and the dialog gets hidden underneath. The
dialog is still modal though and I have to OK or Cancel it before anything
can be done on the main window. When I use wxMessageDialog or
wxSingleChoiceDialog everything works as expected. This is the bit of code
def textEntry( msg, title):
msgBox=wxTextEntryDialog(NULL, msg, title)
if msgBox.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL:
msgBox.Destroy()
return ''
res= msgBox.GetValue()
msgBox.Destroy()
return res
I dont have a parent window. I have used NULL and None with the same
results. I didn't think that dialogs needed a parent.
Any ideas?

Please send a reply directly back to me.
Thanks,
Gordon Williams

This sort of thing happens to me quite often when debugging (normally goes
away when I fix other portions of the code), and not just to
TextEntryDialogs... a very strange bug indeed... I use Windows--I ASSUME
you're using Linux, because dialogs ALWAYS appear in front of normal windows
for me... but they may, in this case, not get the focus...
I'd really appreciate hearing about this, then...
Cheerio, Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm using windows 95 with Python 2.0 and wxPython 2.2.2.
It only happens with the TextEntryDialogs, the others work OK. I am
assuming this is a bug. But I am surprised that no one has made reference
to it before.
Please send me a copy of the message that you post as the archives are not
working very well.
Thanks,
Gordon
