when you create a popup menu (right click on a window), and immediately do a left click outside that menu (in the parent frame) is there a way to make (from inside the wx.menu class) that click not to propagate to the parent frame work?
heres a code sample [1]. to test what am doing do a right click on the frame (the popup menu will show) and then do a left click in the frame (outside the popup menu). you will see that that event will be reported to the parent frame. I want that mouse event to close the popup menu and nothing more..
I know that could be easily done in the parent frame using a "flag" variable that recognize if the left click is done after creating the popup menu, but am wondering if thats possible from withing the wx.Menu class..
No, there is nothing built-in to deal with this issue. It is also different based on what platform you are on... I usually use the flag approach to deal with this issue, with a short timer or a CallAfter to reset the flag in case the mouse event wasn't in the window that is catching the mouse events (IOW, for cases where there won't be an event that needs to be ignored.)

I think is more intuitive that way
