Hello,
I have some TextCtrl's, and I want to set focus
to the next one when I hit Enter. Like TAB.
I found this code, only the crucial line is missing.
How do i set focus to the next one in the focus order ?
self.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnKey)
def OnKey(self, event):
if event.GetKeyCode() == wx.WXK_RETURN and not self.IsMultiLine():
# set focus on next item
else:
event.Skip()
Thanks,
egbert
Hello Egbert,
I have some TextCtrl's, and I want to set focus to the next
one when I hit Enter. Like TAB.
You can try something like that (untested, may not work 
):
def OnKey(self, event):
if event.GetKeyCode() == wx.WXK_RETURN and not self.IsMultiLine():
event.SetKeyCode(wx.WXK_TAB)
forward = not event.ShiftDown()
ne = wx.NavigationKeyEvent()
ne.SetDirection(forward)
ne.SetCurrentFocus(self)
ne.SetEventObject(self)
self.GetParent().GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(ne)
event.Skip()
HTH.
Andrea.

I use the next :
if evt.GetKeyCode() == wx.WXK_RETURN :
obj = evt.GetEventObject()
try :
tmp = obj.IsSingleLine()
except :
tmp = True
if tmp :
tab = wx.NavigationKeyEvent()
tab.SetDirection(wx.WXK_TAB)
obj.GetParent().GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(tab)
return
evt.Skip()
Friendly.

Andrea’s solution (assuming it works – I haven’t tried it either)
simulates hitting the Tab key. If you have some reason for violating
the tab order, or
you have a convenient list of the components you want to move between,
it may be easier simply to identify the target control and call
SetFocus().

I have simplified (!) and integrated your suggestions:
def OnKey(self, event):
if event.GetKeyCode() == wx.WXK_RETURN:
try:
tmp = self.IsSingleLine()
except:
tmp = False
if tmp:
forward = not event.ShiftDown()
actie = wx.NavigationKeyEvent()
actie.SetDirection(forward)
self.GetParent().GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(actie)
return
event.Skip()
It seems to work fine, the Shift-Enter as well.
Thanks a lot.

There is now a convenience method that will make and send the navigation event for you. Take a look at the docs for wx.Window.Navigate.

The docs are too concise for me.
Can you show how to do it in this case,
ie let RETURN function like TAB in single line TextCtrl's ?

Paul and Robin,
Thanks for your clear examples. Now I do understand the docs.

<-cut code->
Only for say that the line:
key = evt.GetKeyCode()
if key == wx.WXK_RETURN:
need to become:
key = evt.GetKeyCode()
if key in (wx.WXK_RETURN, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_ENTER):
for true compatibility 
Thanks for the code!
