Cursor movement question

[Jive Dadson]

Howdy, folks. I am using wxPython 2.8 on Windoze XP Pro. I want my
application to move the cursor and the mouse-point (the coordinates in
the mouse-click events) to the left when the user presses the left-arrow
key, up when they press the up-arrow key, etc.. I think I can figure
out how to grab the arrow key events, but I can't find how to move the
cursor. I tried calling wx.SetCursorEvent(x,y), but no joy.

Can you help?

Thankee,
Jive

Gosh, you guys are slow. I figured it out.

We were just waiting to see how long it would take you.

Perhaps you could post the solution for posterity's sake?

The double secret magic encantation is "WarpPointer." Unfortunately, it
does not work in a plain vanilla ScrolledWindow. ScrolledWindow captures
the event and scrolls by the default scroll amount of 20 pixels. I think
I can figure out a work-around, but I have not yet done so.

self.bmp.Bind(wx.EVT_KEY_DOWN, self.OnKeyDown)

def OnKeyDown(self, event):
# Use direction keys to move cursor one pixel

x,y = event.GetPosition()
keycode = event.GetKeyCode()
X = 0
Y = 0
if keycode == wx.WXK_LEFT:
X = -1
elif keycode == wx.WXK_RIGHT:
X = 1
elif keycode == wx.WXK_UP:
Y = -1
elif keycode == wx.WXK_DOWN:
Y = 1
else:
return

x = max(0,min(self.size[0]-1,x+X))
y = max(0,min(self.size[1]-1,y+Y))
self.bmp.WarpPointer(x, y)
self.bmp.SetFocus()
