overload Overloaded Implementations:



__init__ (self, disable=True)

Disables all top level windows of the applications.

If disable is false nothing is done. This can be convenient if the windows should be disabled depending on some condition.

Parameters:disable (bool) –

New in version 2.9.0.



__init__ (self, winToSkip)

Disables all top level windows of the applications with the exception of winToSkip if it is not None.

Notice that under MSW if winToSkip appears in the taskbar, the user will be able to close the entire application (even though its main window is disabled) by right clicking on the taskbar icon and selecting the appropriate “Close” command from the context menu. To prevent this from happening you may want to use wx.FRAME_TOOL_WINDOW, if applicable, or wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR style when creating the window that will remain enabled.

Parameters:winToSkip (wx.Window) –





__enter__(self)


__exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)
