[wxPython] key shortcut and toolbar

wxPython Users
1

hi,

I would like to associate shortcut key to button of toolbar.

But if i use EVT_CHAR on the window, i never receive anything because the
key are grab by the textcontrols of the windows...normal...

So i have to use a EVT_CHAR for each textcontrol and give back the
shortcut key to the parent windows... I don't like it, is there a better
way ?

bye

EVT_CHAR is only sent to windows that currently have the keyboard focus.
Buttons will only have the focus right after being pressed. What you want to
look at is wxAccelerators.

Use a wxAcceleratorTable.
