Take a look at timers.  Unless this is during a long processing time?  In
that case, you might need to call refresh window, or wxApp_Yield to allow
event processing.

Where is the focus?  You probably need to set up a handler for wherever
the focus is, because that's where the window manager is going to send 
events.
