Hi Henik-Jan I did not even know that there was something called a MDI-Frame! But have you tried showModal? The showModal function[1] has worked for me in the past. See samples/wx/TimeFlowsEx.hs in the wxHaskell source repository for an (longish) example. Search, in the TimeFlowEx example, for "showModal" to find the relevant code.
