Re: [wxlua-users] Key events

[Milind G. <mil...@gm...>]

Thanks John for the quick reply. I changed the connect statement to :

frame:Connect(ID_FRAME, wx.wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK, CharKeyEvent)

That seems to be catching all keys except the alphabets and numbers. How do
I catch those? Also how do I catch key combinations like Ctrl-X?

Thanks,
Milind
