GenericMessageDialog

I'm using (agw) GenericMessageDialog in wxPython 2.8.12.1 with Python
2.7.3.

It's working fine with the mouse. How do I get it to respond to the Enter
key (and to the Tab key if there is more than one button)?

I think it should work out of the box, do you have a sample showing the problem?

Thanks for the reply. The behaviour is the same in the wxPython demo.

Alternatively:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx
import wx.lib.agw.genericmessagedialog as GMD

app = wx.App()

with GMD.GenericMessageDialog(None, "Hello World", "Test",
wx.ICON_INFORMATION|wx.OK) as dlg:
    dlg.ShowModal()

Platform?

IIRC the code that handles the Enter key in dialogs by default searches for a child widget with an ID of wx.ID_OK and then triggers a button event from it. It may also be ensuring that the widget is a wxButton so that could be why it isn't working the the generic buttons that GMD uses.
