Where to intercept Alt-Keypress to simulate mnemonics

[S.Volkenandt]

Hello,

I have to extend a Notebook control (at present eranif's new Notebook control) to support mnemonics on tabs. But I am currently unable to intercept the corresponding keypresses to react to.

So far I've tried wxEVT_CHAR event handlers in the topmost widget (the notebook page) and all panels and the frame containing it (notebook tab, notebook tab container, notebook itself, mainwindow). I've also tried passing wxWANTS_CHARS to the constructor of each of those.

Nevertheless, the event handler never gets called when I press Alt-Key (i.e. Alt-A) somewhere. If there is a control somewhere on that page having that mnemonic, it activates, if there is no control with that mnemonic, just nothing happens.

Where can I intercept those mnemonic keys?
