Hi,

i am developing a simple automation program at my place, and decided to use wxpyhton to do i
t. I have a minor setback, which i hope some learned user could help me out with

I am unsure why the method self.SetActiveChild(pChildFrame) below doesn't work. My idea is t
o be able to highlight and choose the right child frames at random. Attached is a working co
de. Is there anything i am missing?

Thank you for your valuable response

import wx.aui
