Capturing keyboard events without window focus

[Chris Weiland]

OK, I think I've figured it out.  I thought that the dialog would receive
the event then decide which control within that dialog would get it.  So, I
made a new class inherited from wxStaticText that would capture key events
and use them in such a way as to make my dialog do what I want.

I also used a timer to poll the state of the transmit key every tenth of a
second, which seems to work just fine.

Thank for the help!
