You really need to learn to ask good questions. Unless people dive
into your previous posts, they won't know what Python GUI toolkit you
are using, which version of said toolkit, which Python or which OS.

Here's a good place to read about events in general:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/EventPropagation

If you use Google, you can look for the close event, which gives you
this:

So you'll want to bind your frame to EVT_CLOSE. You can disable the
"X" in your frame's window by using non-standard style parameters.

OK you right. I use WX on windows XP.
I didn't understood how to use this wx.CloseEvent function.

i really struggle with my poor english to understand this language, so
your help is crucial for my progress and i appreciate it

Thanks

No problem. It just makes it much harder to help if we don't know what
you're doing. I forget to mention stuff when I post too.

Just in case you still don't get it, here's some generic code:

<code>

self.frame.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.onClose)

def onClose(self, event):
self.frame.Destroy()

</code>

Note that I called the frame's Destroy() method instead of its Close()
method. If you call Close() then the EVT_CLOSE event gets fired again
and you basically end up in a loop.

Well then, in your event handler, just don't do anything.

def onClose(self, event):
pass

or maybe you want to hide the frame?

def onClose(self, event):
self.frame.Hide()

Just make sure you give the user some other way to close it and in
that handler, you'll need to call self.frame.Destroy().

Alternatively, you can just tell the frame not to create the "X"
button:

self.frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, title="My Frame",
style=wx.SYSTEM_MENU)

However, that makes it pretty annoying to close.

disappear
