All, thanks for the information. I will look into it. In relation to Tim's comment. The reason why I want to stick to Win32 API's is because I am blind. The screen reader which allows me to use the computer does not work with Xwindow style widgets. They have to be native Windows style objects.
That is the challenge I have in front of me in finding a GUI library that works with my screen reader. I do have some knowledge of Event driven, OOPS programming. But it is very basic and normally I use other peoples codes. :-) I am in the middle of writing a Telnet app to send a huge config to my router which is one of my learning steps. :-) Sean On 01/01/2014, at 7:06 AM, Tim Roberts <t...@probo.com> wrote: > Sean Murphy wrote: >> I am very very new to Python.
