[wxGTK 2.6.3] Propagating key events?

[Spencer Salazar]

Hello,
I am using wxGTK 2.6.3 on Linux, with gcc-3.2.2.  I have three frames  
in my app, one parent wxFrame and two child wxFrames.  The parent has  
a menubar, and the children do not.  However, I would like the  
accelerators associated with the parent's menubar to be "understood"  
in the child frames.  For example, when someone hits Ctrl-N while a  
child frame is the active window, the parent frame should create a  
new document, even though the child frames themselves dont respond to  
that key combination.

So far, Ive tried intercepting key events in the child frames and  
forwarding them to the parent window, to no avail.  Heres my code:

void myChildFrame::OnChar( wxKeyEvent & event )
{
     GetParent()->ProcessEvent( event );
}

Im certain that this function is being called on key events; however,  
valid key combinations defined in the parent's menu bar are not  
responded to.

Is there a good way to do this?  I dont want to actually have a menu  
bar in the child frames for esthetic reasons, and I want to avoid  
building separate wxAcceleratorTables to match the parent frame menu  
bar, because that doesnt seem very maintainable.  Thanks in advance.
