Here's a few code snippits that should get you on the right path. I
don't believe that ShowModal() will work since that usually means that
a new event loop is created, but you should try it. You may also
simulate the behavior below using a wxTimer, which is probably a
better way.
tracker_var = false
MyDialog = wx.wxDialog(...)
myDialog:Connect(ID_OK, wx.wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN,
function(event) tracker_var = true end)
myDialog:Show()
for i = 1, 20 do
wx.wxMilliSleep(500)
wx.wxYield()
if tracker_var == true then break end
end
dialog:Destroy()
Hope this helps,
