Re: How do I insert a menu item in an existing menu.
You might want to direct your wxPython questions to the dedicated wxPython newsgroup. It's Google-only, and thus not part of the Usenet hierarchy. But it's the most on-topic newsgroup you will find. http://groups.google.com/group/wxpython-users I attempted to crosspost this article to wx-python users, but that doesn't work for non-Usenet groups... Good luck! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
