Just create a :ref:`wx.BusyInfo` object on the stack, and within the current scope, a message window will be shown. For example: :: wait = wx.BusyInfo("Please wait, working...") for i in xrange(10000): DoACalculation() del wait It works by creating a window in the constructor, and deleting it in the destructor. You may also want to call TheApp.Yield() to refresh the window periodically (in case it had been obscured by other windows, for example) like this: :: disableAll = wx.WindowDisabler() wait = wx.BusyInfo("Please wait, working...") for i in xrange(10000): DoACalculation() if i % 1000 == 0: wx.GetApp().Yield() del wait but take care to not cause undesirable reentrancies when doing it (see :meth:`wx.App.Yield` for more details). The simplest way to do it is to use :ref:`wx.WindowDisabler` class as illustrated in the above example. Note that a :ref:`wx.BusyInfo` is always built with the ``STAY_ON_TOP`` window style (see :ref:`wx.Frame` window styles for more info). | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html
