First it might be better to ask this question on wxPython-user group rather 
than here - it may help you in the future.  
I can't follow the code so I'll provide what I'd normally do.

First I would set my var
#I assume much here
mytextVar=txtMsg.GetValue()
#next create the control
Tcontrol=wx.TextCtrl(self,10,mytextVar, size=(200,300) ....
#make sure you add what style etc to the control
