How can I use international characters in a maskededit control?

When I use the SetValue method of the control, works fine, for ex:
control.SetValue('ç') but when I try to enter a international
character from the keyboard, the following error is raised:

I once played with a wxMaskedComboBox and only could get it to work
with accented characters passing a includeChars parameter:

bookname = wxMaskedComboBox(self, -1, livros[0],
                            useFixedWidthFont = False,
                            mask = 20*'X',
                            includeChars = "ÁÉÍÓÚáéíóúÃÕãõÂÊÎÔÛâêîôûÇç",
                            choices = livros,
                            autoSelect = True,
                            formatcodes = 'V_',
                            validRegex = "(%s)" % join(livros,'|'),
                           )

(Here 'livros' is a list of strings that may contain accented
characters; note that you should include à or ü if you need them.)

Well there must be a more elegant way to make it work, but this worked
for me.
