CTRL + Page Up

Hi list,
I have a ScrolledWindow inside a Notebook. When I press CTRL + PageUp (or PageDown), the window intercepts these events and performs horizontal scrolling. I want to override this so that the events reach the Notebook instead, which would process them as a page change.

How do I override this default behavior of CTRL+PageUp so that it reaches the parent Notebook? I tried adding CTRL + PageUp to my ScrolledWindow’s accelerator table but it didn’t work.

Thanks!

I’d start with catching EVT_CHAR or one of the other keyboard events, then pass it manually to the notebook using something like PostEvent, without Skip()-ing the event (so the ScrolledWindow doesn’t ever see it):

Thank you, even though I would have liked something less hacky, that works.
