You can register an event handler at panel level called wx.EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY It is triggered each time tab or shift-tab is pressed, and has a method called GetDirection(), which returns True for forwards (i.e. tab) and False for backwards (i.e. shift-tab). You can use this to maintain a 'direction' attribute, which you can pass as an argument to self.Navigate(). It will then always navigate in the correct direction.

Alternative approaches would be to trap EVT_KEY_DOWN or EVT_TEXT to detect and block attempts to modify the contents of the control. Frank -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
