Giving an accelerator to `wx.HyperlinkCtrl`

wxPython Users

Hello,

Is it possible to give an accelerator key to my wx.HyperlinkCtrl? I tried using ‘&’ but it didn’t get parsed, it just showed up as ‘&’ in the GUI.

This is especially important for wx.HyperlinkCtrl because they don’t seem to be tab-reachable.

Thanks,

Ram.

It's a generic control so there isn't platform support for auto accelerators, so you'll need to do it via an accelerator table attached to a parent window. There probably isn't a way to get an underscore though...

Even the one which isn’t in agw is not native? IIRC, there’s a native Windows widget for an hyperlink, does it just not use it?

It looks like in 2.9 it is using the native control if the version of Windows is new enough.
