Thank you, this is much closer to where I need to be... The issue is (and this is the part that you don't know, because I didn't tell you!) is that I later need to call methods on "self.checkbox1", for instance: self.checkbox1.GetValue() to determine if the box is checked or not. I should have included that piece in the initial problem description; my apologies. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
