Re: wxPython, handling close events

Here's some sample code that highlights my application closing problem. If a user uses the Quit button, no problem. If on the other hand they close the frame, hay mucho problemas. I've included some comments and commented out some code that can be used to alter the applications behavior. Ideally, I want the user to have to confirm that they want to quit before the program ever begins to be destroyed. Thanks!
