wxwidgets aui manager problem

Question

i am using auimanager to show frame in a frame , however it keeps showing the second frame in a new window instead in the same window, or any other suggestions on how to do it ?

Answer 1

Your "outer frame" should be a aui.AuiMDIParentFrame, whereas the "inner frame" should be aui.AuiMDIChildFrame. In any case: post some code, then it is easier to advise.

Example code:

import wx
import aui

class MainFrame(aui.AuiMDIParentFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        aui.AuiMDIParentFrame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title="AuiMDIParentFrame",
                                       size=(640, 480), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)
        child1 = InnerFrame(self, "child 1")
        child1.Show()
        child2 = InnerFrame(self, "child 2")
        child2.Show()


class InnerFrame(aui.AuiMDIChildFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, label):
        aui.AuiMDIChildFrame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title=label)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame = MainFrame(None)
    frame.CenterOnScreen()
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
