Catching key event in text ctrl

Hi,

I need to make sure only certain characters are entered in a text field.

What is the best way to trap this ?

Regards,

Philippe

In the demo application there is a validator example, allowing only
digit input in one text control and alpha in another.

Hi all

Although I have found tech details on the HtmlHelpController class, it is difficult to get my newbie head around it.

Does the HtmlHelpController work on all platforms or just for Windows?

It seems like a useful addition to my program, but is there a tutorial or demo to get me started?

Thanks, JamesS

You might also want to look at the masked edit controls, check in the wxPython demo under More Windows/Controls.

All platforms. It is a generic implementation based on wx.html.HtmlWindow and other wx widgets.

Download the non-CHM version of the docs at Download wxPython-docs-2.6.3.2.tar.gz (wxPython)

Inside this tarball you'll find a small app, viewdocs.py, and a couple .zip files containing the html for the docs, and also the contents and index files. The viewdocs app is a small wrapper around the wx.tools.helpview module, which basically just loads the zip files into a wx.html.HtmlHelpController and shows it.
