Text Copy in HtmlWindow

Nov 27th, 2008

Hi. I have an HTML Control on my frame and I am able to display pages in it:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
self.krtc = html.HtmlWindow(self, style=wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE);
self.krtc.LoadPage("apitest.html")
self.krtc = html.HtmlWindow(self, style=wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE);
self.krtc.LoadPage("apitest.html")

However, I'm having real problems trying to pick up a CTRL + C event (Or a right mouse click event) to copy any selected text.

Iv looked through the wxDemo, but I cant understand how the events work. Can anyone help please?

Regards

Max

Well, Iv had a little joy so far - Iv managed to get a click event recognised like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
self.Bind(html.EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED, self.krtc_OnClick, self.docMAIN)
 
...
...
...
def krtc_OnClick(self,event):
        x = self.krtc.SelectionToText()
        if x > "":
            print x
self.Bind(html.EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED, self.krtc_OnClick, self.docMAIN)

...
...
...
def krtc_OnClick(self,event):
        x = self.krtc.SelectionToText()
        if x > "":
            print x

This works nicely, and could easily copy the selected text, but its not of much use unless the user knows that the text has been copied!

More to the point, Iv not been able to pick up any keyboard events yet, which rules out one of the most common methods of copying selected text!

Any ideas anyone?

regards
