Context menu for wxTextCtrl on Mac OS X

Hi folks,

wxTextCtrl on the Mac supports the usual keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste, but there's no native context menu when you right-click as on Linux and Windows. Are there any plans to add this in the future? I'm using wxPython 2.8.11 on all three platforms.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

I just found that the bounty in wx's wiki has been removed yesterday -
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/index.php?title=WxWidgets_Bounties&action=history
I'm unsure why - maybe it's been implemented?

I can't find any other info online, sorry.

Yep. I had contacted the guy who posted the bounty yesterday. He said
he had a custom-patched version of wxMac from some years ago and
forgot to remove the bounty. I was curious if support was planned for
a future version.

Call this during the startup of your app before you create any text controls

wx.SystemOptions.SetOptionInt("mac.textcontrol-use-spell-checker", 1)

Nice, thanks! I guess the docs have not caught up yet here:

I can't remember since I don't use Mac, but if this isn't on a Mac
tips page on the wiki, could you put it there (and/or create it) along
with a description of what it does?
