Hi All,
I have a window derived from wx.Window which has several standard controls plus a control derived from wx.ScrolledWindow. Pressing the tab key moves the focus between the standard windows but the focus never moves to my derived window. I can click on my derived control and focus does move to it then.
My control is intialized like this:
wx.ScrolledWindow.init(self, parent, ID, style = wx.WANTS_CHARS | wx.BORDER)
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Bruce.
You should try to use ScrolledPanel from wx.lib.scrolledpanel.
It has code to handle tab traversal correctly.

Just to clarify: You want to be able to tab into the scrolled window itself, not to some child widget, right? If so I would have expected the above to work, although the wx.WANTS_CHARS can prevent the TAB out of the widget (but that can be fixed by handling the TAB yourself and calling Navigate.) What platform/version are you using?

Hi All,
I have a window derived from wx.Window which has several standard
controls plus a control derived from wx.ScrolledWindow. Pressing the tab
key moves the focus between the standard windows but the focus never
moves to my derived window. I can click on my derived control and focus

Yes, I want to Tab into the scrolled window itself. It just seems to bypass this window altogether.
I am handling the TAB to navigate out of this window if it has the focus.
Does my scrolled window have to have a special style to tell the system it should be included in the tab order. Windows has a style ‘WS_TABSTOP’ for this but I can’t find the equivalent in wxWindow / wxPython.
I’m running on Windows, python 2.5 and wxPython 2.8.6.0
Thanks for you help,
Bruce.

I think that all wx controls get it automatically.
Try deriving your class from wx.PyScrollWindow and override the AcceptsFocus method and have it return True.
