Multiline Text Ctrl not processing enter key

Josh,

The wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle call is wrong as this sets the text style

for a range of text, you need to set your control style at creation
time as per the attached.

Yeah, I figured that out myself. Thought I deleted the post, too.

I thought it was possible to change some controls’ styles at will. TextCtrl isn’t one of them, as far as I can make out.

  The wxDemo works just fine on my machine. I can type

in a multiline text box, get word wrap, and press Enter to get a

    I have attached a file that is not working, though. This is a

simplified case of what I deal with.

    A Maker panel that can dynamically generate controls (in the

full app this also attaches validators)

The panel I use is a subclass of the Maker panel.

    When I run this code, I can enter text into the multiline entry

box, but when I press enter all I get is a beep.

Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32

wxPython 2.8.12.1

As I said, the wx Demo works fine.

Clearly, I’m missing something. Any help?

Some styles can only be set when the widget is created because they may change how the native widget is created, or even which native widget is used.
