register keyevent in wxpython

[ash]

hi,
is there a way to register application wide hotkey in wxpython?
i tried wxWindow::RegisterHotKey(). but the problem is it registers the
hotkey as a system wide hotkey. this causes problems in other
applications running concurrently which use the same hotkey.
i want to do this because i want my app frame (a mdi frame) to accept
the key event and wx.frame accepts only wx.eventCharHook() which raises
no keyevent for normal alphanumeric keys.
any ideas??
thanks in advance for any help.
