wxruby users - Oct 2009 - AcceleratorTable

Hi all,

i''m using Wx::AcceleratorTable to shortcut function keys (F1, F2...)

Given the code:


  acc_table = Wx::AcceleratorTable[
    [ Wx::MOD_NORMAL, Wx::K_F3,      myBtn.get_id() ],
    [ Wx::MOD_ALT,    Wx::K_F4,      myMnu.get_id() ]...]
  frame.accelerator_table = acc_table

the 3° param of Wx:AcceleratorEntry is an id identifing a menu item id or a
commad id.

If i have a menu item or a button, i get the corresponding id into the third
param and everything works as expected.

What to do if i have just a function (no button, neither menu item binded)?

How do i get the id to bind to?

Any help is greately appreciated.

thank you.

bio.

An Accelerator Table is just that - a mapping of key presses that 
provide fast access to existing menu items or GUI controls. So it''s 
expected that there should be an ID to go with each.

However I expect that an accelerator entry would trigger an evt_menu 
even if there wasn''t actually a real menu item in the Frame''s
menus, if
you wanted to "cheat":

evt_menu(SOME_ARBITRARY_ID, :the_function)
AcceleratorTable(....)
