TextCtrl events ?

wxPython Users
1

hello,

I'm trying to simulate an RS232 terminal,
So added a few TextCtrl to a window,
one for the RS232 receiver,
one for the RS232 transmitter,
and now I need to perform an action,
whenever a character is entered in the TextCtrl.

The best event I could find in the documentation
    wxEVT_DISPLAY_CHANGED = 10104

Is this the best event to detect ?
Are there alternatives ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

In one of my apps I use a wx.PyValidator to examine each character as
it is entered.

wxEVT_TEXT is sent by a wx.TextCtrl every time a character is entered. There can be some exceptions to this if certain characters (like the Tab key) are intercepted by other windows… there are mentions of this in the docs for wx.TextCtrl… style wxTE_PROCESS_TAB or not. But basically one character entered causes one wxEVT_TEXT sent.

also useful, wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER is sent when the Enter key is pressed (as long as the wx.TextCtrl is given the style wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER).
