Hi,
I've got a problem pretty much as stated in the subject. By "Popup windows"=
, I mean classes derived from Wx::PopupWindow.
I've got a couple of standard classes including a calendar and predictive t=
ext list that popup automatically from Wx::TextCtrl windows when certain ke=
ystrokes are pressed. The popup window then handles keyboard and mouse even=
ts until dismissed.
When the TextCtrl windows are placed on normal windows, everything works fi=
ne.
When they're placed on Wx::Dialog windows, the popup appears normally and k=
eyboard handling is fine but no mouse events whatsoever are received.
Creating a complete example would be kind of lengthy; I'm hoping someone mi=
ght have seen this previously and be able to say "Fix it like this" or even=
"Yep, you're boned".
Big, big caveat; we're running on wx 2.8.12. (Yes, I know, and I'm trying t=
o get us moved up.) OS is Ubuntu 14.04.
Thanks for any help.
