Threading and wx.....

[SamG]

Hi,

Im trying my hand at threading with wx applications. I have written
the following code...

import wx
from threading import Thread, Lock

class createWindow(Thread):
def __init__(self):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.lock = Lock()
self.app=None

def run(self):
#self.lock.acquire()
self.app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="Hello wx")
frame.Show()
#self.lock.release()
self.app.MainLoop()
if __name__=='__main__':
c = createWindow()
c.start()
c.join()

Now when i run this program i get a window but the application just
does not respond. Is there something that im missing here. Pls let me
know. Thanks in advance.

Oops! Murphy's law works again! And the above code is working fine.

Hi,

Im trying my hand at threading with wx applications. I have written
the following code...

import wx
from threading import Thread, Lock

class createWindow(Thread):
* * def __init__(self):
* * * * Thread.__init__(self)
* * * * self.lock = Lock()
* * * * self.app=None

* * def run(self):
* * * * #self.lock.acquire()
* * * * self.app = wx.PySimpleApp()
* * * * frame = wx.Frame(None, title="Hello wx")
* * * * frame.Show()
* * * * #self.lock.release()
* * * * self.app.MainLoop()

if __name__=='__main__':

You'll probably also find the following wiki article helpful:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/LongRunningTasks

And there's at least one demo in the wxPython Demo that's a good
example of threading.
