Newbie wxPython questions.

[nuffnough at gmail.com]

I am running through the wxPython guide and docs and extrapolating
enough to get confused.

BAsed on the tute in the getting started wiki I created a panel that
has most of the elements I want; some check boxes and a couple of
buttons.   The button I have is a simple thing that is supposed to just
close (destroy) the app.  Only thing is,  it destroys the panel and
leaves the app behind.   I have attempted to place this on teh frame by
defining a frame;  the button works great and closes the app,  but
because it isn't part of the panel, the panel is all squished up into
the very top left corner and all you can see is the first checkbox,
which you can't even check.  Can I make a button on the panel destroy
the frame?

The next question I have is about adding a second button to the panel
(or frame, I guess) that will then execute a bunch of things depending
on which checkboxes are ticked.  My attempts to add the button have
been wrong so far,  as you'll see with my code.

The first code block is my panel only app.  The second is how it looks
after I defined the Frame first and then moved the Cancel button.

TIA

Nuffnough
