    [wxPython] Updating the status bar?

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    Hash: SHA1

    Ok, this one I did try before coming here... :)

    I am trying to report the status of what is going on to the status
    bar of the main window of my wxPython app. I know I'm on the right
    track with SetStatusText() but it doesn't always alter the text. What
    the program is doing is taking a filename and passing it through two
    different external programs. One of them is taking a little bit of time
    to process the file (sa-learn) so the user needs to know what is going
    on. Right now I have the call to update the status bar preceding the
    external call like so:

    self.MainStatus .SetStatusText( 'Reporting message as spam.',0)
    code = os.system("%s '%s'" % (vars.razor_spa m, filepath))

    The status bar is not being updated. I know it works because other
    calls I have to the same method work fine. Is there some call I need to
    make to refresh the window or at least the status bar?

      From the wxWindows help file:

      wxWindow::Updat e
      virtual void Update()

      Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the
      window while this would usually only happen when the flow of control
      returns to the event loop. Notice that this function doesn't refresh the
      window and does nothing if the window hadn't been already repainted. Use
      Refresh first if you want to immediately redraw the window
      unconditionally .

      So I would guess at:

      self.MainStatus .Refresh()
      self.MainStatus .Update()

      HTH

          Try adding a wxYield() after the Update(). The Refresh() probably isn't
          necessary.

              That did it. Thanks much!
