Primary selection

[Carsten Grohmann]

Hi,

I'd like to track changes in a wxTextCtrl and are looking for a possibility to
track changes triggered by the primary selection on Unix.

Is there an possibility to dustinguish text inserted by pressing keys from
text inserted using the primary selection?

A small test using an event handler for EVT_TEXT doesn't point out differences
between keys and primary selection.

BTW: I use wxPython 2.8.12.1 (gtk2-unicode) on a Linux.

Regards,

Carsten

You can use wxEVT_TEXT_PASTE to detect the text pasted by the user but we
don't have anything beyond this currently.
