Pointer position on keypress event?

Hi.

Is there any straightforward way to tell pointer position
(x, y)
upon keypress? In original wxWidgets, wxKeyEvent supports
GetX()
and GetY() methods, but wxRuby's KeyEvent object does not
have
one. I also checked with event.methods and
event.instance_variables.

Do I need to keep track of pointer position by evt_motion?

Hi

Are you using wxruby 0.6.0 or wxruby2? I know several event
classes are 
missing in wxruby 0.6.0 which isn't being developed. The
event handler 
is fired correctly, but a generic WxEvent is returned which
doesn't have 
all the expected methods.

I have just tried evt_key_down in wxruby2 which is currently
being 
developed. The KeyEvent has the get_x(), get_y() and
get_position() methods.

However, the value of get_x and get_y seems to be always 0.
This may be 
a bug - perhaps someone else could try and confirm, and then
we can work 
on a fix. Do you have a short sample we could see please?

cheers
alex

I'm using wxruby 0.6.0 (binary package downloaded from
sourceforge).
Attached is a sample script, but I can confirm 0.6.0 does
not
have get_x/get_y methods nor equivalent instance variables.

Guess it's time for wxruby2?
Is there any compiled package available?

BTW, I tested similar code on C++ wxWidgets, and wxKeyEvent
did
return proper pointer location with GetX()/GetY(). So
wxruby2
seems to have its own issue.

That sounds familiar

We hope to have one soon; people are working on it now.
Rapid 
development of ruby-SWIG has caused a few breakages

OK, sounds like a bug on Mac OS X at least. What platform
are you on?

I've just tested evt_motion with Wx::Window and
Wx::TextCtrl and it does 
have the x and y position available - if you feel like
writing a little 
tracking code.
