[Boa Constr] calling child windows

[Finbarr O'K. <fo...@mc...>]

I am having a problem with wxMDIChildFrame windows.

I have created a simple Boa application that starts with a wxMDIParent frame
with a simple menubar. From a menu option you call the wxMDIChildFrame
window.

Questions:-

1] What is the best way (using Boa) of calling a child window. I ended up
putting "import wxMDIChildFrame1" at the top of wxMDIParentFrame1.py and
using a menu event to call the child window. Is this ok or is there a better
way to do it?
def OnFilemenuitems0Menu(self, event):
        x=wxMDIChildFrame1.wxMDIChildFrame1(self)

2] Once the child window has been called and the user moves this window the
parent (or any controls placed in the parent) is not redrawn. Clicking the
maximise box really sends the display funny! I have tried using a paint
event:-
def OnWxmdiparentframe1Paint(self, event):
        dc = wxPaintDC(self)
but this does not solve the problem of redrawing the underlying parent
window. If I call a dialog box from the parent it is fine so the problem
must lie with the child window?

Any help would be  appreciated
