@OONEYEMAN - Traversal works fine. But there are other things that I want to happen when the Tab key's pressed. That's why I needed the ability to catch it.

And I still think that's buggy, the way a wxMessageBox() causes the
1) switch to repeat itself 4 times, or
2) the method to loop 4 times.

That's weird. I would even say buggy. But you were right. I omitted the wxMessageBox() and used std::cout instead, and it worked as expected. I wonder why a message box would cause such behavior?

Oh well, thanks doublemax.

This is the Bind(): I tried wxEVT_KEY_DOWN and wxEVT_CHAR, but they were dead.

I'll look at the keyboard sample. That will probably show me what I need to do.

While this code I wrote does capture the three assigned keys, the wxMessageBox() pops up four times per click. If I click the Tab key, I'll get four message boxes. Same with the Alt and Ctrl keys, which I added just for testing. void MyFrame::OnChar(wxKeyEvent &event) { switch ( event.GetKeyCode...

CallAfter() works fine. However, I started reading about threads after I posted here and believe I'll try to use one, per your suggestion. Much appreciated, doublemax. Thanks.

I have a method that does a few things, most importantly setting TextCtrl bg colors where needed. And at the end of this method, there are two other methods that are called that write to the db: writeHistory() and writeProgress() . I put them at the end because I wanted them to be the very last thin...

I'm of the opinion that this is a bug. But whether it gets treated as such doesn't matter anymore. I fixed it with a workaround. Through all of this, I've had a feeling that the culprit was the vector, a vector of wxString no less. So I added 4 more variables and proved myself right. wxString mca1{}...

Your code works fine on my box. I'm not using a VM. My box dual-boots to either Win X or Mint 21.3. How can I send you a zip file of my work? I'm not very far along with it, so I'm not tripping on you snagging some of my code :D I use CMake. Please advise. Thank you, PB. I just placed the zip file i...

Thank you both for responding. PB: Your code works fine. Just as expected. I've traced through everything regarding my 4 TextCtrls and don't see anything that cld be causing this. Let me show you all my code that handles these 4 misfiring widgets. Hopefully you'll see what's messing me up. In the Ct...

wxTextCtrl* mcAnswer1; wxTextCtrls are not transparent, you'll need to set their background color, too. I did. Scroll up and you'll see that I'm doing exactly that. My problem is that the background of the text itself isn't changing,as shown in my original post. But I believe I'm setting the wxText...

My apologies, doublemax. from the header: wxTextCtrl* mcAnswer1; wxTextCtrl* mcAnswer2; wxTextCtrl* mcAnswer3; wxTextCtrl* mcAnswer4; and from the main: void MyFrame::DisplayToScreen(const std::vector<wxString> &values) { mcQuestion->SetValue(values[0]); mcAnswer1->SetValue("1. " + val...

Is the content custom painted, or are these two different controls? Here's the method in full: void MyFrame::verifyMC_Answer(wxCommandEvent &event) { const wxColour myGreen = {128,255,0}; const wxColor myRed = {255,42,0}; const wxColor myWhite = {255,255,255}; btnVerifyClicked = true; if (mcThe...

I'm working on a trivia app. The user gets a question right, the background of the right answer goes green. They get it wrong and the correct answer's background goes green and the user selection background goes red. But that's not happening...not entirely. Screenshot from 2024-03-05 01-56-36.png Wh...

@Size: Watch this. It'll help you with sizers.

Good information on that link, PB. I appreciate it.
