Who's to blame?

[Nicola Musatti]

Hallo, Mike.
First of all, thanks to both you and Rob for your answers. I now see
that the wxPython group would have been a better place to post to, all
the more so given the tight connection between the wxPython and
wxWidgets projects, of which at first I wasn't aware.

Actually my example started out as something like

if wx.MessageBox(message="Some message", caption="Some caption",
        style=wx.YES|wx.NO) == wx.YES:
    pass

I had to change it because the actual message can become very long, so
I assembled a dialog with a scrollable text field. Maybe I'm expecting
to much of wxStdDialogButtonSizer, but I still feel that given that
both your method and mine above work straight away, it should provide
the same behaviour with Yes/No buttons as with OK/Cancel ones.

Cheers,
