What is your application supposed to do? In the meantime, I recommend looking at this control: http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/main/ThumbnailCtrl.html You can probably get what you need from it. I also highly recommend posting to the wxPython user's group where you'll get more wx-specific help. See below: http://wxpython.org/maillist.php If you download the venerable wxPython Demo from wxPython.org, you can check out other related widgets such as wx.ImageBrowser or the wx.BitmapComboBox.
