[wxPython-users] Capturing keydown events

[Buran, Brad]

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that, but the FigureCanvasWxAgg does
not seem to accept "style" as a keyword.  Since this canvas is embedded
in a wx.Panel, would there be any way of preventing the canvas from
receiving focus and capturing user input at the panel level?  I think I
tried that once by using SetFocus() which did not seem to work either.  

Orest
