[wxruby-users] wxComboBox and wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER

[Fabio Petrucci]

Ok i've found my way:

Now my ComboBox consumes ENTER and TAB keys :)

One more question:

I use window#navigate() to simulate TAB.
calling it by default param is fine even if it doesn't reconize the mapping
constant Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsForward

what about if i'd like to navigate backward?

i supposed a constant like Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsBackward

but i get an uninitialized constant
Wxruby2::Wx::NavigationKeyEvent::IsBackward

any suggestion?

regards.
