...but as usual I missed to give the last step...

# WARNING: untested, but should ( almost ) work
sub OnChar {
  my( $this, $event ) = @_;

  if( $event->GetKeyCode == 9 ) { # 9 is the ASCII code for TAB
    $this->WriteText( "\t" );
  } else {
    $event->Skip; # search for the next handler
  }
}

should do...

Skip() the event ( Skip-ing an event means that wx searches
for the next event handler )
