Kevin,
The only issue which I have with wx is the size of executable (I blame
my size attitude to C & Linux for that. I started my carrier as C on
Linux developer), but after your email I searched on internet and found
that I can compress the size a lot on that front and thus some time
tomorrow I will give it a try.
Thanks and Regards,

I would highly recommend wxPython over TkInter, especially if
you are already familiar with Win32 GUI programs in general.
reasons:
- better supported on Win32
- better native look-n-feel
- much more extensive (supports more types of controls, etc.)
- more active community
Of course this is just my opinion, and YMMV.

Tim,
Thanks for the information, I know the pain ;) it is
causing me.
The reason why I went to use RC was that the over head
on my final
package size was minimal. But now I think trying
wxPython or Tkinker
will be a better solution in long run.

Well, win32rcparser.py reads the RC file, but it doesn't
display it on
the screen.
What you're doing is working at the lowest possible
level. If you want
to create a Windows GUI using the raw API, then you
might as well write
it in C++. You're just going to battle the Python/C
boundary over and
over. It is possible to call GetDlgItem to fetch window
handles for the
controls in your dialog, and then send Windows messages
to fetch their
contents, but it's a lot of work for no particularly
good reason.
It would be much better in the long term for you to
investigate wxPython
or tkinter or one of the other GUI wrappers, to let you
create and
manage your GUI with something approaching Python's
class philosophy.
