The key "Enter" does not trigger key down

[Bruce Sherwood]

Below is an extract from my code, which works with 64-bit Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9.4 on Windows. With 64-bit Python 3.2 and wxPython Phoenix 2.9.5.81 downloaded this evening, the code still works except for "Enter", which does not trigger EVT_KEY_DOWN. The key down event for "Enter" seems to be lost.

        c = self._canvas = wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas(parent, -1, pos=(x, y), size=(w, h))

        self._context = wx.glcanvas.GLContext(c)

        c.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self._OnKeyDown)

        c.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_UP, self._OnKeyUp)

Try using the wx.WANTS_CHARS style. That will help get key/char events
for keys that are normally used for navigation on Windows.

Okay, I'll try that, but I can't think of how Windows would use Enter for navigation. Thanks.

If you press enter on a form in wx, the cursor will typically jump from one text field to the next, much like tabbing between fields does. You can also press enter when a button has focus to press the button.

Hi

I don't know if this will help, but I had also this problem and in my case it was because I had my wx.TextCtrl inside a panel, and this panel had a border, any border. I don't know why this caused this problem. Once I identified the cause of the problem, I removed the border and my wx.TextCtrl works fine after that.
