OK, well Skip seems to work out of the top dialog, because the top level button is defined as an OK button, but when I drop down a level the button is defined as wxID_ADD.
But here the "$event->Skip;" doesn't cause the event handler to drop through. I can change wxID_ADD to be wx_ID_OK, but that sort of defeats the purpose and means I will have multiple OK buttons. Maybe 5 OK buttons. So what does wx_ID_OK do that deletes the dialog box and exits in a controlled way?

Hi Johan, OK, that worked, I guess it depended on what $self was defined as. I had: my ($self, $event) = @_; # The first line of the event handler If I put in: $self->Skip; I got: "Can't locate object method "Skip" via package .... (etc)." So then I tried: $event->Skip; Which worked perfectly, so thanks for that. Events are still quite new for me, so things that should be intuitive are not yet intuitive even though I've read all the doc I can lay my hands on. Have a good day.

If I don't put in an event then I can't update the DB. With 'event filter' you mean you attach a handler to the OK button with EVT_BUTTON? If so, in this handler, did you use $self->Skip to allow the dialog handler to kick in as well? If not, please show some code. -- Johan
