[wxPython] wxGrid on MSW vs. GTK

Testing the wxGrid demos on both WinNT and Linux, I noticed the following
differences:

1. wxGTK version of the grid does not allow starting cell editing from the
keyboard. One is forced to click the cell using the mouse.

2. The Enter key by the numeric keypad seems to do nothing on wxGTK.

This hampers entering columns of numbers into a grid considerably under wxGTK.

I was able to go around 1. by tweaking the GridEditorDemo.py just posted by
Robin. There might be other ways to do that.

Item 2 above seems to a global issue through wxGTK. The numeric keypad Enter
is interpreted differently than the normal Enter. It is probably go around
this too, but the proper fix would likely be at wxWindows.

Regards,

Harri

Works for me. Did you see this on all the demos or just one?

2. The Enter key by the numeric keypad seems to do nothing on wxGTK.

Hmm... There's some code in grid.cpp for catching and dealing with the
keypad keys, but I can't seem to get it to work either. I'll try to look
into it later but in the meantime you may want to enter a bug for it in the
bug tracker so it doesn't get lost.

BTW everybody, Harri is the reason wxPython exists. You should all send him
a big thank you.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Harri. I love using wxPython. Many thanks to
Robin and the rest of the wxPython team too. I'm one happy camper :slight_smile:

I'm just about to upload my first version of wxCvs to sourceforge. It's just
the GUI frontend at the moment but you can browse your sandbox files to get
information regarding version, tags, etc. I'll make an anouncement here when it
is ready for download.

Cheers,
Brendan Simon.
