  I suppose you already tried to call SetSelection in the event handler?

  Even if it worked now, it is not guaranteed to work in the future.
In general, synthesizing events and making controls process them is
a bad idea.

  I added it to wxPerl CVS, FWIW.

  Generic is a widget implemented entirely using wxWidgets code (for
example wxCalendarCtrl). Univ
stands for wxUniversal and is a wxWidgets port (like wxMSW, wxGTK, wxMac,=

...) except it only relies on basic primitives (device context, window)
and implements all the controls in a generic way. It is used in wxMGL.
