[wxpython-users] Problem with GetTopLevelParent() (not working always)

[Raffaello Barella]

Impossible, Andrea. First, the problem occurs with a subclassed wx.grid with
more than 500 lines of code, and the bug might be everywhere. Second, this
four letter bug does not occur regularly, but only from time to time.
Sometimes to close and restart the application helps, a few days ago I had
to disinstall wxPython and reinstall it. The traceback just shows the
message I wrote, plus the line of code where the error occurred, and this is
not of much help.
My only hope is that this same thing happened to somebody more clever than
I.
Meanwhile, I bypassed the problem replacing GetTopLevelParent()  with
GetGrandParent(): the window so far seems to be able to recognize its
"nonno".
Thanks anyway.
