No. Dabo methods are never capitalized. 'Continue' is a property of
the event object, so the syntax should be evt.Continue = True.
But the problem is that unless you explicitly set that to False, or
call evt.stop(), which does the same thing, you should *never* have
to use this. Dabo events always continue unless explicitly stopped.
Many times the problem is one of timing: the event is triggered
before the default behavior occurs, which, in the case of a textbox,
would be to append the key to the control's displayed text. That's
where dabo.ui.callAfter() comes in: all pending processing will be
completed before the 'called after' method executes. Typically, code
looks like:
def onKeyChar(self, evt):
if evt.keyChar matches some test:
handle the behavior, and optionally call
evt.stop()
to prevent it from being passed on to the textbox
else:
dabo.ui.callAfter(self.processKey, evt.keyChar)
def processKey(self, keyChar):
Do your 'delayed' processing here
