wxPython frame

[Austin]

In tkinter, the dialogs has the function grab_set(). That means disable
other windows while it's open.
Is there any function like that in wxPython. I want to use it on my frame.
For example, a.py is main frame. There is a button "config" to open
b.py(config frame).
If the function exists in wxPython, i could put that in b.py when b.py is
open and we couldn't
click a.py. Or any other ways to avoid click a.py when b.py is open.

Thanks a lot.

The wxPython mailing list is probably a better way to get
good answers to wxPython questions.

Your question refers to frames, but I think you may mean dialogs (subclasses
of wx.Dialog). So wx.Dialog.ShowModal( ) may be what you're looking for.
See
http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin_wxdialog.html#wxdialogshowmodal.

Here is an example with a file dialog from a project I am working on:
dlg = wx.FileDialog(
self,
message="Save file as ...",
defaultDir=os.path.join(os.environ['zigzag_install_dir'],
'config'),
wildcard="Python source (*.py)|*.py",
style=wx.SAVE
)
if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
path = dlg.GetPath()
# Open the file and write into it
saveFile = file(path, "w")
# [...] removed code that writes into the file
saveFile.close()
dlg.Destroy()

Peter is right though, you may be better off asking questions on wxPython in
the wxPython mailing list (http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php).
