wxruby users - May 2010 - Keyboard only menus

Hello all,

I have a popup menu which I want to only be controllable using keyboard
(actually it''s a games controller mapped to key presses, but
that''s not
important). 

I''m not sure it would be possible to restrict menus like that but
thought I would ask the question just in case.

Thanks,

Andrew

Not sure I understand 100% - but Wx::AcceleratorTable offers a concise 
way to define keyboard shortcuts for a Frame etc. But using a normal 
desktop context menu would kind of imply control by mouse or keyboard, 
no? Unless you hide the mouse pointer, somehow?

I am using a pointer mapped to a controller joystick and then when the 
menu pops up I want to navigate the menu using the D-pad as this is 
easier.
