I've run into a problem. When I call some Ranorex methods, FormFindTitle for example, from a thread in a wxPython app it never returns. If I make the same call from the wx main thread or from a thread in a non-gui script it works fine.
I've attached some sample code so you can hopefully reproduce what I'm seeing. If you run the attached script with no args it will run the non-gui thread, if you run it with "gui" as the arg you will see a simple dialog with 2 buttons. The Test WX button calls FormFindTitle from the main thread and the Test Thread button spawns a thread and make the same call.
I need to do this because I have a test run and report tool written with wxPython.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
