Catching key events from a panel (and follow-up to stacked panels)

[Aaron MacDonald]

Hello,

I want to capture key events somehow.  My frame as a panel to which I  
try to bind to wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, which hasn't been working.  I later  
read that wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN aren't propagated and that the focus may  
probably in one of the controls/subpanels inside my main panel, event  
though I called SetFocus() on my main panel.

While wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN doesn't work, wx.EVT_CHAR does.  However, I am  
not clear what exactly is the difference between the two for when I  
just want to test key codes.  Is this something I should worry about?

Also, I think I've figured out my last question about frames with a  
group of panels with only one visible panel.  I've implemented a  
subclass of frame where panels are added to it with a key, where I've  
attached a demonstration.  The frame resizes itself to fit the maximum  
width and height of any panel.

Cheers,

Aaron M.
