Try sending message wxKeyEvent after filling :

wxKeyEvent::m_altDown
wxKeyEvent::m_controlDown
wxKeyEvent::m_keyCode
wxKeyEvent::m_metaDown
wxKeyEvent::m_shiftDown
wxKeyEvent::m_x
wxKeyEvent::m_y

properties... It can help perhaps...

the following worked for me without collateral damage.

Code: Select all

wxApp::OnInit()
{
...
Construct frame and canvas
...
other desired intitialization

frame->Show();

// see <wx/event.h>
    wxKeyEvent kevent;
    kevent.m_keyCode = 0; // replace 0 with the key you wish to send
    frame->canvas->OnChar(kevent);

    return true;
}

That would only work inside your own application.

The equivalent for keybd_event() under Windows would be wxUIActionSimulator:
