wxGrid navigation and column tooltips

[Mike Driscoll]

Hi,

I have a wx.Grid that I'm using for as a spreadsheet in one of my
applications. I would like to override the grid cell editor's arrow key
navigation so that when I press one of the keys, it will navigate away
from the cell I am currently editing, like MS Excel does. While I can
successfully catch the keycodes for the buttons when I am not editing a
cell, they seem to get eaten once I actually activate the editor. Is there
a way to do this?

Also, one of my users asked if I could put pop-up tooltips on the column
name when moused over. I can't find anything about mouse-over events. I
did find this excellent tutorial on grid cell tooltips:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/wxGrid_ToolTips

Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to my case. Any help one these two issues
would be appreciated.

I am using wxPython 2.8.4, Python 2.4 on Windows XP SP2. Thanks!
