If your window isn't able to interact with the user, then I'd consider it a splash screen, no matter if it does look exactly like your main application interface. >>We have this kind of situation in Chandler, where we display and update >>the splash screen before we enter MainLoop. >> [...] >>3.

It is possible that, on Windows only, he may need to call Update to finish painting the display. 1432 self.Layout() 1433 if wx.Platform == '__WXMSW__': 1434 self.Update() 1435 wx.GetApp().Yield(True) > wxYield spins the event loop in place.

I'll confess to being one of those old-school programmers who, back in the day, wrote his code around big select loops instead of using threads, but I'm intriged by the "experts only" designation. Can someone explain further? Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
