In each case no hotkey is shown on the menu. In each case it doesn't work.
Robin Dunn made comments about some problems with the Esc shortcut key when WxPython 2.8 was first introduced several years ago. I wonder whether Wx 2.9 may have helped. On the other hand it may be in their difficult basket. It is a definite shame if we can't use it as it is the intuitive way to cancel from many applications. Particularly where you are doing key board intensive entry. -- Fraser Burns _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
