My program keeps expanding.
In my MainProgram method in the MainPanel class I'm using some functions from an other program. While using this the GUI hangs until that is finished and I want to solve this by using a new thread for this method.
While doing this I get an error when executing OnRun. It says:
Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method MainPanel.OnIndex of <__main__.MainPanel; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'wxPanel *' at 0x526e238> >>
It think this has something to do with the OnIndex setting som values to self.textOutput. Now, how can I solve this little problem of mine?
Help is much appreciated! =)
