The problem is that in every function you add, the self variable You can do it this way : a = wx.wxPoint() function a:DoStuff(s) print(self:GetX(), self:GetY(), s) end a:DoStuff("hello") > must be added in the argument and you must assign that function to the > object.

I would create a function to create, setup, and return a wxLua class object and then you'd call that whenever you needed one of them. You can even call the function wxMyPoint() and it'd look and act just like a constructor. In fact, the constructors in the wx table are table's themselves with some metatable code to allow it to be called as a function.
