cross platform event problem

Try binding the event directly to the event generator, the textctrl.

I think your problem might be cause by the fact that wx.KeyEvent is not a wx.CommandEvent and it doesn’t propagate in the hierarchy of controls.

I spent a month developing this app on Kubuntu. Looks great,

lots of use of function keys, navigates a ListCtrl.

Copied it to WinXP, loaded latest wxpython and Python25.

Screen colors look strange, spacing is off, but worst:

no response to function keys or enter key events.

and tab just puts a funny char in the textctrl.

Should I be doing something different for win32 keyboard?

I did the following simple app to illustrate.

On Kubuntu, EVT_KEY_DOWN works, processkey() executes

and prints the keycode.

But not on WinXP.
