Initially I just wrote the former.  I set up two events like u put but 
only one event is fired, what I am after is if I put the $stc onto 
$frame and click in the $stc box, I want to intercept and ignore the 
click (at $frame level for example) before it even gets to the $stc 
control.  Is that possible?  I don't understand what u mean about how 
events not derived from Wx::CommandEvent don't propogating up the window 
hierarchy :/

Is it possible to ignore clicks some how?  I'm trying to localize the 
click to the frame the $stc is on to trap a bug with the autocomplete 
popup but if the only way to ignore clicks is to ignore them temporarily 
for the whole application then that is fine.  I thought maybe I could 
hide the mouse but I can't find any documentation on that.

Thanks for your response, it is very much appreciated.  I just hope I 
can solve this problem.
