Paul,
I've discovered that the evt.keyChar is not reliable because of the issue
noted below (back arrow shows as '%' to keyChar, etc). To correct, I am
also checking the evt.keyCode i.e....
if (evt.keyCode in range(32,126)) and (evt.keyChar in
""",./<>?;':"[]\\{}|[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()-_=+"""):
evt.stop()

dont work
The first two were typo's in the email....sorry.
I think I see the issue with the arrows and other keys.
If I add a "print keyChar" right after the "keyChar = evt.keyChar" statement
and watch the output, the arrows and other special keys are being
interpreted as ones in the ignore list further down in the code. i.e.
backarrow='%', etc.
Thanks.

You had 3 problems:
1) a.Mainform -> a.MainForm
2) mytest.value=0 -> mytest.Value = 0
3) you didn't put in the test for keyChar being None, so that exception
was still being raised with special keys like the arrows, resulting in
the event being effectively stopped.
#2 wouldn't have affected the results, but it would have caused you
other grief.
#1 caused the script not to run at all.
Here's the code:
import dabo
dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")
from dabo.ui import dKeys as dKeys
class Tb(dabo.ui.dTextBox):
def initEvents(self):
self.bindEvent(dabo.dEvents.KeyChar, self._lookup)
def _lookup(self,evt):
keyChar = evt.keyChar
if evt.keyCode in (dKeys.key_F7, dKeys.key_F4,
dKeys.key_Return):
print "varietylookup"
thestr = self.Form.varietylookup(keyChar)
print "thestr", thestr
return
if keyChar is None:
return
if (keyChar in """,./<>?;':"[]\\{}|[EMAIL
PROTECTED]&*()-_=+"""):
evt.stop()
a = dabo.dApp()
a.setup()
a.MainForm.addObject(Tb, RegID='mytest')
a.MainForm.mytest.Value=0
a.start()
