I've never had a problem with this. I have dialogues within dialogues within dialogues, maybe seven or eight layers deep. But I don't use frames except for the main menu, maybe that is the difference. If you do use dialogues, it can get a little frustrating because of the issues around tabbing. I have a standard base module that creates a dialogue in my preferred style (wxDialog + wxSizer + wxPanel so tabbing works, and other reasons). Then I derive from this for every dialogue I need. My only complaint is over modal help which can get lost sometimes. Good luck, Steve. PS I like your Mullah Nasrudin quotes, I had a book of them once, sadly long since lost.
