At least, not with wxWidgets. However, you could use Xlib and make it 
send a key to the focused window. It would go something like this:

Use XOpenDisplay to get connection to display, then use XGetInputFocus 
to find the focused window (which is probably some Gtk control), and 
setup XKeyEvent structure and send it with XSendEvent.
