[Boa Constr] GUI stuck at min or max

[Alex M. <tec...@wi...>]

So I'm not sure where I went wrong, first time using sizers maybe.
Wrote the original code on WinXP went over to Win2000 and when I try to 
open the designer or run the code in any mode, the application is either 
always maximized or minimized there's no in between.

Is this a simple 1st timer mistake or should I post the code to get some 
help.

WinXP works as expected a small box in the middle 400x600 maybe.

Thanks,
Alex

Can you post the code.

I develop now on Vista (before on XP) and move my py2exe packaged 
application to XP and 2000 and don't see any difference in behavior.

Sorry took a few days to make the stars align so I was on a machine with 
the code.
It's available now at 
http://www.cdfg-rap.net/applications/apps/pdaapps/CabBuilder.zip/download

I know it's got be something simple missing or wrong in the definition 
of the gui.

Thanks,
Alex

For me when starting it from within Boa it comes it half on my main 
monitor and the other half on the second monitor.

But I don't see anything which explains why it is max/min'ed on Win2000. 
  Maybe your problem is linked with the with the pos definition for the 
wxFrame, i.e. make it something which will always be on the primary (or 
only) monitor.

Ah, I didn't realize it would save my position every time I post while 
in the GUI builder(maybe this should be turned off or triggered by the 
user).

That was an easy fix, as I thought, now I just have to remember to put 
boa on my second screen instead of my application so that doesn't happen 
again.

Thanks,
Alex
