How to make a text dialogue appear in wxpython
Question: I have been looking around the web since early morning and I can't seem to
figure out how to get wxPython to show a dialogue box on my main frame.

    
    
    import wx
    
    class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
    
        def __init__(self,parent,id):
            wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,'Window',size=(400,300))
            panel = wx.Panel(self)
    
            test = wx.TextEntryDialog(panel, 'Enter your word:',"New word","", 
                        style=wx.OK|wx.CANCEL|wx.CENTRE,pos=(100,200))
    
    
    
    def main():
        pass
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = wx.App()
        frame=MainWindow(parent=None,id=1)
        frame.Show()
        app.MainLoop()
    

It just opens a window without a text dialogue.


Answer: Use:

    
    
    Dlg = wx.TextEntryDialog(panel, 'Enter your word:',"New word","", 
                    style=wx.OK|wx.CANCEL|wx.CENTRE,pos=(100,200))
    
    if Dlg.ShowModal() == wx.OK:
        test = Dlg.GetValue() 
    del Dlg
    

As wx.TextEntryDialog is a dialogue class **not** one of the convenience
dialogue functions **_you_** need to show it and get the value rather than
just getting a reply.
