Since the wx module has been imported, any wx components can be instantiated using normal wxPython syntax. At this time, however, Lbc is mainly designed for creating dialogs, so there is no Lbc-specific syntax for wxFrame, etc.
I think Q's GUI components package, on the other hand, does support wxFrame and menus, so it may be worth investigating if that is important (and you want to avoid native wxPython).

Ok, while dlg.SetStatus works fine, still just wondering if there's an easy way to, currently obtain access/an instance of the Frame object, in order to assign a menuBar to it, etc.? Thanks for a very nice LBC object in any case...<smile> Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'

I was also surprised to discover that wxDialog does not support a status bar natively, so Lbc creates one with a label control. The SetStatus instance method of a dialog may be used to set the text of its status bar (pass a single parameter consisting of the string of text to be displayed). In the future, I would like to wrap the wxFrame class as well. Initially, wxDialog was significantly easier because it does not require a wxPanel control layer between the parent window and the child controls.
