Easy way to get a wxTextCtrl click event?

Question

Is there an easy way to handle when a user clicks on a wxTextCtrl? After reading the docs wxTextCtrl I see that there isn't a click or double click event. I understand that there is no such thing as "click" events in wxWidgets from the question wxWidgets: Detecting click event on custom controls, so a simple mouse down event will do.

Example answer:

From: wx wiki

    textCtrl->Connect(wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN,
              wxMouseEventHandler(MyClass::OnClick), NULL, this );

Answer 1

Have you tried to handle the wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN and wxEVT_LEFT_UP events for your text control? Either by adding them to the static message map, or by calling Connect() for the handler methods.

Edit:

Not all events are listed in the documentation of a class. You need to go up in the hierarchy as well, from wxTextCtrl to wxControl to wxWindow. Unfortunately I can find the documentation for the mouse events in neither class. It should still be possible to handle them, even if it is not clearly documented.
