WHAT_TO_DO_NOW() ???
How can I tell TextCtrl to use the newkeycode instead of keycode?
wx.KeyEvent seems has no SetKeyCode() alike method.
No, but it does have a "public" member, m_keyCode, that I believe
you can assign before calling event.Skip().

Assign newkeycode to evt.m_keyCode and evt.Skip() doesn't work. The
lowercase letters still appear as normal.

Have you looked at wx.TextCtrl.Replace()? Unfortunately this
requires that you keep track of your insertion point, but at least
it is one way to make the change.

Assign newkeycode to evt.m_keyCode and evt.Skip() doesn't work. The
lowercase letters still appear as normal.
Finally I get the following solution, using EVT_TEXT.
class UpperTextCtrl(wx.TextCtrl):
def __init__(self, *a, **kw):
wx.TextCtrl.__init__(self, *a, **kw)
wx.EVT_TEXT(self, self.GetId(), self.on_text)
def on_text(self, evt):
s = self.GetValue()
u = s.upper()
if s != u:
self.SetValue(u)
evt.Skip()
It would be a bit slow when have a large mount of text, but it is usable.
