assuming you have a button instantiated and named myButton in 2.6 (namespace is relevant I think prior to 2.4 you had a diff namespace for wx) for this example i am guessing you are creating the button as part of a panel or some other object you are extending (ie self)
self.myButton.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnLeftDownHandler ) Make sure you define a method OnLeftDownHandler on the parent object. As a further thought is this really what you are trying to do? Or do you want to know if a key is pressed when someone clicks on the button? Check the mouse events, I know you can check if control or shift was pressed during a mouse click, not sure if you can do any arbitrary key. Binding the key event will not accomplish that if that is what you want to know, well you might be able to torture around to it if that's what you want. The other problem is the key event should only register if the button has keyboard focus - kind of an odd situation. So you may want to place the key listener on the parent object. Or you may want to look into creating a custom event. Hope this helps. Also be warry of behavior of evt_char in windows. Can't remember what, but there is something funky there - I'm sure that was helpful ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
