Other complications come if your controls try to second-guess you when it comes to copy&paste. With the keyboard, you want to be able to copy, but not paste. Likewise, in Win32, textboxes and comboboxes (not combo-list boxes) allow you to right click on them to get a context menu, an option of which is "paste", which can put all sorts of bogus data in the field if not intercepted properly. Within X environments, middle-click-to-paste may also be a problem. I don't know if either case applies to wx widgets, but it's something I've banged my head against in other languages on Win32 (VB, in particular) when trying to make a filtered (though not R/O) control.
