wxPython Plot always comes to focus on redraw

[Jacob Davis]

Thanks for the reply.

This is something that I tried.  The documentation for SetFocus() says  
that it is for keyboard input and that Show() is supposed to show the  
window.  I guess I was misusing the terminology.

I tried your suggestion with SetFocus(), Show() and Raise(), with no  
joy.  I think I will try the wxPython list.

Thanks

Jake
