Thanks for the reply. This is something that I tried. The documentation for SetFocus() says that it is for keyboard input and that Show() is supposed to show the window. I guess I was misusing the terminology.
I tried your suggestion with SetFocus(), Show() and Raise(), with no joy. I think I will try the wxPython list.
