 You don't need an event table if you dispatch them manually, right.

 Again, this is because these events are not sent to the dialog in the
first place. They're sent to the control which currently has focus.

 Also, you shouldn't need a handler for WXK_ESCAPE anyhow, this is managed
automatically by wxWidgets as long as you have a button with wxID_CANCEL id
in your dialog (if you have a button with another id you can use wxDialog::
SetEscapeId()).
