Hi, how do i go about having my little gui (boa) app updating
(changing) the bitmap used in a StaticBitmap automatically. In the
example below when i click the button the app check checks to see if a
file exists and if so it swaps the StaticBitmap in the gui to another
bitmap.
          Can somewhone add a wx.Timer example to this to make it check
if the file exists every minute or so , instead of clicking the button
to check and update this? Or is there a better way of auto updating my
little gui apps StaticBitmap if a file exists?


Thanks for any help with this

Regards
