Am I right in thinking that wxButton cannot bind in a momentary fashion,
ie trigger an event when the mouse button is pressed (on the button),
and another when it is released? I have tried to bind it using
wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN, but the event is not triggered. I get the feeling
that the only event that can be detected is that the mouse button has
been clicked and released. Is that correct?
If that is so (surprising) I guess I have to detect mouse hover over the
button AND left button down. Seems a little clumsy maybe?

THis may well be platfrom-dependent behaviour. As wx uses the platfrom
native widgets, it's really only reliable to use a button like a
button is usually used.
I"d take a look at wx.lib.button.GenButton (and others in
wx.lib.buttons) -- that should be easier to customize.

Many thanks for the tip, Chris.
That worked a treat!
