I am trying to create an app which will have a main window from which the user will launch other (children) windows.
When I launch the child window I start a new thread which periodically polls another device and updates the child window accordingly. When I dismiss the child window the "polling" thread stays alive and then crashes with an exception when trying to write to the now defunct child window. How can I handle this? I want to either 1) have the destructor for the child window kill the spawned thread or 2) catch the exception within the "polling" thread and see that the child window is gone and then commit suicide. I am an experienced embedded C programmer but have VERY little experience with GUI programming and no experience in the Micro$oft programming world. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
