Desperately needing Help with 2 features of a program

[JDevine]

Hey. I posted a info about a program I have written that uses google
to get and download files by type and site. I need HELP!!! This
program is finished except for 2 features which, having tried for two
weeks to create I cannot. This is my first program EVER. I simply an
stuck. Please help. I was allowed by my employer to experiment with
programing / open source. I'd like to be able to deliver a complete
program, (so I can possibly do more of it soon). Here are the two
features I need to consider this program complete.
This program uses wxPython.

1. Update the label on a radiobox

2. Create a downlaod status progress bar. (I guess this has to be
threaded, many attempts led to endless erros about not using the
proper thread to interact with the GUI)

Hi,
Asking people to download your program and simply add features is a little
bit too much I fear....

Read this:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

And then post why and where your concrete attempts fail. Thats much more
likely to get answers.

1. Update the label on a radiobox
rb.SetItemLabel(3, "Richie's stuff")
2. Create a downlaod status progress bar. (I guess this has to be
threaded, many attempts led to endless erros about not using the
proper thread to interact with the GUI)

That's more than a one-liner. 8-)

The Wiki page at http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/LongRunningTasks talks
about this kind of problem at length, and includes a couple of alternatives
to using threads.

When using threading in a GUI, the number one rule is that only the main
thread can access the GUI. Worker threads that want to update the GUI must
do so by posting events to the main thread. The way a typical wxPython
program does this is by defining its own event class and using wxPostEvent
to post instances of that event class to the main thread.
