RE: Modifying accelerator tables

Hi Mattia,

I tried this as you suggested, but I got the error as below. I have checked
the source but this is a little above me.

I can see it is a problem with the creation of the wxAcceleratorTable
object, and it is trying to use the first prototype
"wxAcceleratorTable(const wxAcceleratorTable& bitmap)" which seems to be the
copy constructor but I am not sure if this needs to be casted or whether I
should recreate an array of AcceleratorEntry from the table and try using a
different constructor.

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks
Mark

  Add this (untested!) code to Window.xs and recompile:

wxAcceleratorTable*
wxWindow::GetAcceleratorTable()
  CODE:
    RETVAL = new wxAcceleratorTable( THIS->GetAcceleratorTable() );
  OUTPUT: RETVAL

note that this gets a copy of the current accelerator table, hence after you
modify the table you need to call $window->SetAcceleratorTable with the new
table.
