wxPython Multiple Frames using Boa Constructor

[ApoorvaDesai]

I have 2 frames and on a button click event on frame 1 I want to hide frame 1 and show frame 2
I can hide frame 1 but frame 2 does not appear.

I would really appreciate all the help.
I am learning progamming so please go easy on the terminologies

Heres the code
***********app1 .py*******autog enerated code

import wx
 
import Frame2
import Frame1
 
modules ={'Frame1': [0, '', u'Frame1.py'], 'Frame2': [2, 'Second frame', u'Frame2.py']}
 
 
class BoaApp(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        self.main = Frame1.create(None)
        self.main.Show()
        self.SetTopWindow(self.main)
        return True
 
def main():
    application = BoaApp(0)
    application.MainLoop()
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This should work. Your way may also have worked if you had given the "parent" argument to frame2(). I'm thinking that you are getting an error printed in the Boa Constructor report area, but it is collapsed.

Here are a couple of tested frames with some neat tricks thrown in:
