Python Forum

I have a listctrl. ctrl-a selects all items, ctrl-c copies them to the clipboard (in the usual way).
I want to add a single button to my wxpython gui to do both operations but can find no information.
Can anyone help please?

you should also download the demo (you can just get the demo source, or entire package) here: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix
If you have git installed, you can also clone the source:

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix

to run demo:

python demo.py

I know how to build a button and a gui!
It's the ctrl-A and ctrl-C behaviour I want to mimic...

You will need to create a keyboard event, triggered by the keyboard scan code for ctrl-A
ctrl-C is special case, as it triggers system abort command, and that will have to be intercepted,

this doc discusses capturing a keystroke event: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.KeyEvent.html

Unfortunately, I have been unable after several tries to load wxpython on OpenSuse, and haven't got around to resolving the issue (hasn't been a priority, and won't be until I need GUI for something) so can't actually test any code.

There was a thread about intercepting ctrl-C recently, may or may not be this one: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Generate-...-behaviour
