To be honest I'm not to sure you are going to get a cdxml file to work (as
expected) as a MDI child frame. All frames in wxPython have the 'parent'
attribute but MDI requires that all children are a subclass of
wx.MDIChildFrame which I don't think ClassDesigner supports. I'm open to
being corrected.
So although you most likely can pass the 'parent' in the __init__. I doubt it
will work using files generated from ClassDesigner.
Of course if you hand coded the forms (not very hard) you could use both the
wx.MDIParentFrame and wx.MDIChildFrame to subclass from. Doing so will
allow all the Dabo features to work.
Have said the above - I have to point out that I have not attempted to work
MDI with Dabo or wxPython.
