Hi,
In our application, we want all text fields to start in overwrite mode. I'v=
e been unable to find any reference to this feature anywhere in the wxWidge=
ts docs so am looking for workarounds (if I've missed something obvious her=
e, I'll be very grateful for the answer).
I'm looking at using EmulateKeyPress instead and just sending a WXK_INSERT =
event to every control on creation, which should/might flip the insert/over=
write mode. However, any examples I've seen have been in C++ or Python and =
access the KeyEvent internal variable thus:
evt.m_keyCode =3D WXK_INSERT;
There doesn't seem to be a way of either constructing a KeyEvent with a giv=
en code or setting it after construction; there's no SetKeyCode.
I've tried "evt->m_keyCode(WXK_INSERT)" and "evt->{m_keyCode} =3D WXK_INSE=
RT" to no avail; any help out there?
