Just guessing: I think you probably need to start up a "main window" before you do a modal dialog in order to get background threads that handle GUI events started. But I'm way out of my areas of expertise here. -- Aaron Watters ----- Original Message ----- From: Jill-Connie Lorentsen To: pythondotnet@python.org Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 9:16 AM Subject: [Python.NET] Showing modal .NET dialogs from Python I am new to this, so please excuse me if I'm not making myself 100% clear. My colleague is writing a modal dialog using .NET. I want to show it from Python, but I can't figure out how. I guess it'll be something like: import CLR import CLR.System.Windows.Forms as MyForm from MyColleaguesFile import MyColleaguesForm MyForm = MyColleaguesForm MyForm.Show() I've looked at the helloform, splitter and wordwin examples, the mailinglist archive etc, but I feel like I'm missing something. Is it even possible to do what I want to do? Thanks!
