frame to disable parent frame wxpython

Hello people,,

I looked all around, couldnt find anything,

I need a frame to act like a dialog does, to be over its parent when it is active, and if one tries to click the parent window, it would be redirected automatically to the frame on top,

I hope i make sense,

Perhaps you could activate the frame with a frame.ShowModal() call?
Or, perhaps you could just try a custom dialog (it's not too much different from a frame so you could possibly achieve the same results)?

i tried the showmodal and it didnt work, as for the interface thats poppin up its kinda complex so i dont think it would work with the custom dialog, ill gove it a shot tho,

But i feel this is somethin that should be there by default, i mean u need it a lot! anyway id appreciate any other ideas, thanks

I haven't extensively worked on these but try MDI frames they might suit your purpose
