close query from MDIChildFrame

[Rory Walsh]

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. You suggestion seems to 
make perfect sense but I don't know how to set up an event table for my 
child frame. In my code I have a vector of type MDIChildFrame. Each time 
I hit a menu command 'new Child' I resize the vector and dynamically 
create a new child frame. Can I dynamically create an event table, using 
the Connect() method? I've tried that, albeit wrongly. Here is the 
handler that is called whenever the users hits the new child menu command

void wxLooperFrame::newChild(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
  loopStation.resize(loopCnt+1);
  loopStation[loopCnt] = new wxMDIChildFrame(this, -1, "New Child", 
wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(215, 255), wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE);
  loopStation[loopCnt]->Connect(ID_MENU_QUIT, 
wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED,(wxObjectEventFunction)&wxLooperFrame::OnQuit);
  loopCnt++;
}

wxLooperFrame is my main frame class and it is derived from a 
wxMDIParentFrame. My main class has an OnQuit event handler that I would 
like to plug my child frame into so my childframes will call 
wxLooperFrame::OnQuit when someone attempts to close them. Is it not 
working because of the fact I am passing the wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED 
type? Any help is much appreciated.

Rory.
