    <look at the end of this post>

buuuuuuut there are difficulties....
the both ID's
- wxCLEAR
- wxSELECTALL
don't work. wxCLEAR is there, but nothing
happen. wxSELECTALL is NOT implemented.
python says that there is no variable called wxSEL.
i also checked Ctrl-A and nothing happen. What's

Thanks, I'll add these constants...

    def NormalWindozePopupFunctions(self,event):
        event.Skip()

How about just calling self.Copy(), self.Paste(), etc. (assuming self is the
text control) instead of hoping that the right value gets back to the native
control? That way it won't matter if you use the native IDs or not as you
will be handling all of the menu yourself.
