[wxPython] Artificial Event Generation.

wxPython Users

Hello All,

I just joined this list today, so I apologize if this topic has already been covered.
(I briefly scanned over the wxPython mailing list archives...)

Anyway, I'd like to be able to automate my GUI's handling of certain events for testing
purposes. Most of my testing has been done by hand, and this works fine, but there are
a few key things which need to be tested regularly and automatically.

Right now I simply call a graphical components event handlers, and pass "None" as an event.
This works alright, thus far (because I don't use the passed in event objects for anything),
but I'd really like to be able to generate an actual event. Just creating an event object
by hand might be a little better, but I'd like to test the system from the highest level
possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Nefarious CodeMonkey, Jr.

Most events can be simulated and sent to a window by creating the event
object and then calling "window.GetEventHandler().ProcessEvent(event)"
