I'm not sure what "focus" means, but all of this is quit possible with 
FC1. See:

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/FloatCanvas/Demos/MovingElements.py

For an example that gets pretty close to what you want.

It's probably eaually easy with FC2 - I'll let Matt answer that directly.

yes FC 2 is here:

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/branches/FloatCanvas/SOC2008_FloatCanvas/floatcanvas2/

(note that that is the "viewvc" interface url, not the url to give to 
SVN. To get it, you need:

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/branches/FloatCanvas/SOC2008_FloatCanvas

The latest wxPython package has a recent FC1, but no FC2. However, it 
doesn't include all the demos, so you will want to at least get those 
from SVN. I'd probably just start with the SVN version, as you get the 
demos, and then you'll be all set up to submit paches if you add 
features ;-)

I think that was fixed -- Matt? But in any case, checkout from SVN and 
give it try, you'll know soon enough.

welcome!
