If you guys would rather I direct my wx related questions to the wxWindows project let me know, but I would prefer to be active here since my project's purpose is closely related to pgAdmin.
I like the default behavior of FLTK windows, and I would like to emulate this in wxWindows. I want the escape key to close the current window (of course, prompting if the window is dirty) for all of my windows.
We should have this in pga also.
However, I have not figured out how to do a global event handler for a Window. i.e. if a textbox is currently active on the window, the parent window will not receive the escape keypress event unless I explicitly pass the event up from the textbox. I would like some sort of way to tell every one of my widgets "if you do not process this keyboard event, pass it up to the parent window".
Is there a way to do this without explicitly creating an event handler for every single widget I add to the window?
You could try accelerator tables. But be careful: e.g. a combobox will sometimes have to handle esc, you may not catch all escapes. I doubt that you can handle this globally.
