How about an About box?

#Boa:Dialog:About

from wxPython.wx import *

def create(parent):
    return About(parent)

[wxID_ABOUT, wxID_ABOUTBUTTON1, wxID_ABOUTSTATICBITMAP1, wxID_ABOUTSTATICTEXT1, wxID_ABOUTSTATICTEXT2] = map(lambda _init_ctrls: wxNewId(), range(5))

class About(wxDialog):
    def _init_utils(self):
        # generated method, don't edit
        pass

    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        # generated method, don't edit
        wxDialog.__init__(self, id = wxID_ABOUT, name = 'About', parent = prnt, pos = wxPoint(425, 237), size = wxSize(640, 558), style = wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE, title = 'About DME')
        self._init_utils()
        self.SetClientSize(wxSize(632, 531))

        self.staticText1 = wxStaticText(id = wxID_ABOUTSTATICTEXT1, label = 'The Coolest Application in the World!', name = 'staticText1', parent = self, pos = wxPoint(153, 8), size = wxSize(339, 22), style = wxALIGN_CENTRE)
        self.staticText1.SetFont(wxFont(14, wxSWISS, wxNORMAL, wxBOLD, false, 'Arial'))

        self.staticText2 = wxStaticText(id = wxID_ABOUTSTATICTEXT2, label = 'Boa Constructor application Prototype', name = 'staticText2', parent = self, pos = wxPoint(185, 48), size = wxSize(271, 18), style = 0)
        self.staticText2.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(0, 255, 255))
        self.staticText2.SetFont(wxFont(11, wxSWISS, wxNORMAL, wxBOLD, false, 'Arial'))

        self.staticBitmap1 = wxStaticBitmap(bitmap = wxBitmap('//Images/master3.png', wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG), id = wxID_ABOUTSTATICBITMAP1, name = 'staticBitmap1', parent = self, pos = wxPoint(16, 80), size = wxSize(600, 408), style = 0)

        self.button1 = wxButton(id = wxID_ABOUTBUTTON1, label = 'Close', name = 'button1', parent = self, pos = wxPoint(296, 496), size = wxSize(50, 25), style = 0)
        EVT_BUTTON(self.button1, wxID_ABOUTBUTTON1, self.OnButton1Button)

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

    def OnButton1Button(self, event):
        self.Close()

The tutorial (Help > Boa Constructor Getting Started) walks you through buidling a simple but realistic application, a simple text editor. 

Since Boa itself is in Python, a more challenging exercise might be to replicate parts of Boa using Boa.

Hi David,

Just for the record, all the static GUI elements and frames/dialogs in Boa is in fact built with the Boa designer.

Dynamic elements in the IDE are created by code. This is as it should be.

Almost from the very start the every aspect of the project has been managed/developed in the Boa IDE.

Cheers,
Riaan.
