Avoid command events blocking a kill focus event in wxPython - focus

Question

I'm writing a class to generate a frame on left click of a taskbar icon. The desired behaviour is for this frame to disappear on loss of focus, so I have bound a wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS event to the panel in my LeftClickFrame() object.
This works fine if I only have a wx.StaticText widget in the frame, but if I add a wx.HyperlinkCtrl the wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS event no longer fires. I get the same blocking behaviour with wx.RadioButton widgets, but not with wx.StaticBitmap.
I believe this is something to do with the fact that wx.HyperlinkCtrl and wx.RadioButton widgets are both controls and emit command events, but I'm not clear on what I have to do to rearrange my class so the wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS event is still processed when one or both of these controls are present.
I have the following code:
class LeftClickFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, frame):
super(LeftClickFrame, self).__init__(frame,
style=wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|
wx.CAPTION)
self.tbicon = frame.taskbar_icon
self.tbicon.options_window = self
self.InitUI()
def InitUI(self):
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
self.panel.Bind(wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS, self.Close)
self.main_vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
statuses_hbox = self.GetStatusesVBox()
self.main_vbox.Add(statuses_hbox)
self.main_vbox.Add((-1, 10))
links_vbox = self.GetLinksVBox()
self.main_vbox.Add(links_vbox, flag=wx.TOP|wx.CENTER, border=20)
self.panel.SetSizer(self.main_vbox)
def GetStatusesVBox(self, statuses):
statuses_vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
for status in statuses:
battery_statuses_txt = wx.StaticText(self.panel,
wx.ID_ANY, status)
statuses_vbox.Add(battery_statuses_txt,
flag=wx.TOP|wx.LEFT, border=10)
return statuses_vbox
def GetLinksVBox(self):
links_vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
link1 = wx.HyperlinkCtrl(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY, 'Adjust screen brightness')
link1.Bind(wx.EVT_HYPERLINK, self.tbicon.LaunchPowerOptions)
links_vbox.Add(link1, flag=wx.CENTER|wx.TOP, border=5)
return links_vbox
def Close(self):
self.tbicon.options_window.Destroy()
self.Destroy()

You can try EVT_ACTIVATE instead of EVT_KILL_FOCUS since it does not work in your case.
And you can use event.GetActive() to check if this frame is in focus.
def InitUI(self):
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_ACTIVATE, self.Close) #bind it to Frame
def Close(self, evt):
if evt.GetActive() != True:
#do window close
