That's strange that it works for you.

I just tried yours and I get the same thing. The window is there, but no widgets get drawn until the whole thing is done.

I'm on Wx-0.20 and wxGTK-2.4.2-3.fr on teh lunix, but it also doesn't work right in windows: Wx-0.19 with wxMSW-2.4.2 (binary). I tried both mine and yours in windows a second ago.

However, in windows, it doesn't dork around drawing an empty window, it simply sagfaults and kills perl.exe. The 215789 example does work great in windows and gtk.

So, now I'm guessing that progressdialogs can be made to work without a parent window, but it's flaky and partly luck based?
