This has been covered before but it wasn't spelled out clearly enough
for me. What do I need to do to post an event? How would I simulate
someone selecting a checkable menu item?

I have a child window whose visibility is controlled by the menu item
and I want to toggle the menu check when the use closes the child
window. 

So here's my menu handler:

    def on_menuViewPreviewBrowser_select(self, event):
        state = self.menuBar.getChecked('menuViewPreviewBrowser')
        #show or hid the browser child'
        self.iechild.Show(state)
        self.configState['browserpreview.visible'] = state


and here's the child PreviewBrowser window's close methods:

    def doExit(self):
        pass
        ##here's where I'd like to set the state

    # we don't have window events hooked up yet to our own event model
yet
    def OnCloseWindow(self, event):
        self.doExit()
        self.Show(0)


thanks.
