Problems with showing two wxFrame objects

Post by xargon »

Hello,

I have a problem where I cannot show two wxFrame objects together. The second one only shows after the first one is minimized or closed.

So, if I have code as follows...

wxFrame * frame1 = new wxFrame(NULL, ....) // constructor
frame1->Center();
frame1->Show();

MyWorkerThread * thread = new MyWorkerThread();
thread->Create();
thread->Run();

wxFrame * frame2 = new wxFrame(NULL, ....) // constructor
frame2->Center();
frame2->Show();

frame2 only shows after frame1 has been minimized or closed. How can I show them together? I notice this only happens when I have a thread running...

Cheers,
Luca

Maybe by making the second to depend on the first ?

This work ? :

Code: Select all

wxFrame * frame2 = new wxFrame(frame1, ....)

Or maybe wxTheApp->SetTopWindow( frame1 ); ?
