Heh, that's a bug. As a temporary solution, go to textbox.py and comment out the line in the __events__ dict that says 'Char': wx.EVT_CHAR. I will need to fix the way Wax handles events like these; this will probably be solved in the next release. -- Hans Nowak http://zephyrfalcon.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
