wxGrid editing odds

[Andrea Gavana]

Hi All,

    I was playing with the wxPython demo, and precisely with the
SimpleGrid demo in "Core Windows/Controls" =3D> "Grid".
Well, in this demo there is a cell labeled as "You can veto editing
this cell". After I edited it and I want to close the editor, a
question is raised:

"Are you sure you wish to finish editing this cell?"

Ok, this demonstrates the ability of Veto()-ing events in the Grid:
the problem is, no matter which answer I choose (Yes or No) the editor
is *always* closed and the editing ended (!). So, in other words,
event.Veto() seems not to work with wx.grid.EVT_GRID_EDITOR_HIDDEN,
unless I am missing something so obvious...
This is (maybe) slightly related to another problem I am having: I
have a cell with a multiline text (GridCellAutoWrapStringEditor() and
GridCellAutoWrapStringRenderer()) inside a grid. The grid is placed in
a panel, and beside the grid there are 2 buttons. Well, I noticed that
if I start editing the multiline cell, then the combination Ctrl+Enter
does *not* enter a newline in the grid and allows me to continue
editing, but it just closes the editor and move the focus to somewhere
else (the buttons). Actually, it seems that Ctrl+Enter is used for
navigation instead of for inserting a newline in the grid. This does
not happen if the grid is the only child of the panel/frame.
I attach a sample that demonstrates the problem. Does anyone have a
suggestion? Thank you for your help.

This is Windows XP, Python 2.5, wxPython 2.8.1.1.

Andrea.
