[wxPython] WxSplitterWindow: Changing keyboard focus

wxPython Users
1

Hi all,
I have a WxSplitterWindow, with two panes, each containing a wxGrid.

On Ctrl-Tab, I want the keyboard focus to change to the other pane.

I've been wading through the code, and while I can figure out how to
catch the event, I can't seem to figure out how to change the focus.

TIA!

    window.SetFocus() ??

But how do I figure out which pane has the focus, so I can switch it
to the other one?

Ah, I see... This might work: Use wxWindow_FindFocus() to get the current
window with the focus, and then loop using window.GetParent() until either
one of your pane windows or None is returned.

Another possibility is to take

    current = wxWindow_FindFocus()

and compare

current.GetId() == first_pane.GetId()

I seem to remember running into some trouble doing this
if the window with the focus wasn't a wxWindow, but
depending on how you are catching the event, you may be
able to limit the test from occuring when that isn't a case,
but I don't remember the details.

Ah, I see... Â This might work: Â Use wxWindow_FindFocus() to get the current
window with the focus, and then loop using window.GetParent() until either
