Greetings. I'm absolutely stumped on the following issues. I'd appreciate any insight people can provide. 1) I wanted to switch the sense of ENTER and TAB in dialog box controls, so that ENTER moves between controls and TAB does something else I want it to do. So I've successfully remapped ENTER by adding the wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER flag to my Wx::TextCtrl, and used the EVT_TEXT_ENTER macro to create an event. So far so good. I can even call $event->Skip to tell other event handlers to process this key if I want. However, I can't seem to detect modifiers with this method since the passed in event is a wxCommandEvent not a wxKeyEvent. I'd need the GetModifiers() method to work, and it doesn't on wxCommandEvents. How can I detect whether shift is being held down in this particular case? 2) I have added a help button to my dialogs. I'd like a separate help window to pop up with a close button, which is independent of the actual dialog window it's attached to. I'm real unclear as to how to do this. If I make the new help window a child of the dialog, and call Show() on it, the close button does not work. If I call ShowModal() then the help window blocks any action in the dialog. So if I then make the new help window childless (undef as the parent, as I understand) it seems to work in reverse. The close button in the dialog will not work until I close the dialog. How do I instantiate an independent window? Thanks in advance for any answers provided. :) -- Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>>> *The opinions expressed above are entirely my own* <<<< "He was angry with me, he attacked me, he defeated me, he robbed me" Those who dwell on such thoughts will never be free from hatred.
