wx.MessageDialog displayed without components inside

[perchef]

Is there a reason why a wx.MessageDialog would be displayed without
components inside ?

this :

md = wx.MessageDialog(None,'foo','bar',wx.YES_NO)
result = md.ShowModal()
md.Destroy()

In my application, give me :

This isn't a bug in wxPython because when I use the same code in
pyshell I obtain the expected result. So, there must be a reason but I
can't figure out why.

Thanks.

this :

md = wx.MessageDialog(None,'foo','bar',wx.YES_NO) Here you create a dialog
result = md.ShowModal() Now you show it
md.Destroy() But right after showing it, you destroy it.

Because in the shell you first have to type the Destroy call
so the dialog has some time to live. :-)

nope, I have put md.Destroy() away and it didn't change something.
I don't think that's the problem because ShowModal() is a blocking
method, execution is stop until you press YES or NO (in my case with
wx.YES_NO)

Just a thought, do you cal the event loop ?
Because this minimal example just works like it should.

import wx
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
md = wx.MessageDialog(None,'foo','bar',wx.YES_NO)
result = md.ShowModal()
app.MainLoop()

yes i do.
I really can't see my a MessageDialog would appear without components
inside. maybe a thread problem ?

Does the example I gave work?
I mean when you copy and paste it does it show a normal dialog?
