Ah, I now tried doing self.Application.bindEvent instead, and that
worked. However, it's not ideal for my purpose, since I assume it's
setting it globally for the app.
The deal is that I have a dPageFrameNoTabs where, based on stuff
the user does, focus changes to a new panel. The individual pages are
dPanels. The page-frame occupies the entire form, so the entirety of
the interface the user sees is always a single panel of the form. So is
there a way to bind a KeyEvent in such a way that it is caught only when
a certain panel is chosen? Or would I have to bind it on the App and
then manually check what panel is selected?
Thanks,
