Re: [Boa Constr] BOA debugger fails in a wxPython application

[Kevin L. <kl...@wa...>]

I was the original post-er of this issue, and I mis-diagnosed...

(Quoting the solution source)
One catch with using the debugger is that because of a ugly *feature*
of wxProcess the main frame of an application is made invisible.

To work around this change your

main.Show()

to

main.Show();main.Hide();main.Show()

The current code in cvs will also create stub code like this for new
modules.
(End quote)

The reason I was thinking is was only on Win9X was because I was testing
using an *old* project on Win9x and a new project on the W2K box.  The new
project had the fresh CVS Boa with the stub fix.
Put the show-hide-show line in your wxApp and the debugger will work.
