EVT_CHAR Not working in win32

wxPython Users
1

Here is some more information I neglected to include in my earlier post.

I'm running Python 2.4 everywhere (2.4.2 in win32) and wxPython 2.6.

I have tried adding EVT_CHAR handlers to individual buttons, again with no success. I read somewhere that the EVT_CHAR events wouldn't percolate up to the parent frame, but that is not what I am seeing - I'm having good luck (at least under Linux) catching the EVT_CHAR events at the dialog level.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Do you mean something like:

So you get every key event, but if you
comment out the line with btn, no key event is
delivered to the dialog.

import wx
               
class MyDialog(wx.Dialog):
    def __init__(self,parent):
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self,parent,-1)
        #btn = wx.Button(self, pos = (70, 100), label = "OK")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CHAR, self.GetChar)
        
    def GetChar(self, evt):
        print evt.GetKeyCode()
        evt.Skip()

class App(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = wx.Frame(None, pos = (400, 0))
        d=MyDialog(None)
        d.ShowModal()
        d.Destroy()
        frame.Show(True)
        return True
           
app = App()
app.MainLoop()

Hi Franz,
The problem I am having is that with the button defined, I receive char
events under Linux, but not under Windows (with no changes to the code).

I am beginning to wonder if part of my problem is that I am using a
wxDialog instead of a wxFrame. Hmm....
