[wxperl-users] CaptureMouse and keyboard input

[Jouke V. <jo...@pv...>]

Hello,

I'm fiddling around with the CaptureMouse method, and would like to let a user start/stop capturing the mouse by using a menu entry. This menu entry responds to F2 (or just by clicking it). However, I call the CaptureMouse on a Wx::Panel that is a part of a Wx::Frame. I thought I would still be able to access the menu I created on my Wx::Frame. That doesn't seem to be the case (I can't even close the application by clicking in the upper right corner (the X)).
Then I thought the menu-entry also responded to the F2 key (I *can* start capturing by pressing F2), so disabling the CaptureMouse (by calling ReleaseMouse when that menu-entry is accessed) shouldn't be that difficult. However, it seems that CaptureMouse disables the keyboard shortcuts too.

I've even tried to set up an EVT_CHAR, but that doesn't work either when CaptureMouse is active. Is this a bug? I can't find anything on it on the web.
