Mouse button up events don't seem to work

[philrosenberg]

Hi
I'm trying to click and drag a rectangular selection area on a wxFrame, but I don't seem able to capture the mouse button release.

I have tried using EVT_MOUSE_EVENTS and EVT_LEFT_UP, but neither seem to capture the button release. How do I do this?

I assume there's a wxPanel on the wxFrame? Mouse events don't propagate upwards in the window hierarchy, so you have to catch them in the window you actually click on.

Actually I was just rendering directly to the wxFrame. Perhaps this is the problem?

Explaining what you are attempting with minimal code helps a lot.

That being said, do you have any child on wxFrame? Can you add wxPanel to wxFrame and catch events in wxPanel?
