Help... 
My app doesn't respond to keys being pressed.
The clossing event gets handled but the key events do not. If I don't add the panel I get the key events handled as well.
What the heck am I missing?
attached is the culprit.
Thanks,
Peter

Key events are only sent to the window that has the focus.

So let me see if I got this straight, if I want add some general hotkeys to my app I must hunt down all the windows that might get focus and ensure that the event gets forwarded to some allmighty event handler. Right?

No, for hotkeys like this you would use an accelerator table. Normally accelerators are associated with menu items, (but you can also have accelerators that are not associated with menu items) and so when an accelerator key is pressed you will get an EVT_MENU event.
