    wxPython Grid XY Coordinates question

    Hello All,
    I am writing an app in wxPython using a grid. I need to be able to
    recognize what cell in the grid the user is hovering over with the
    mouse. How to do this?
    I tried XYToCell(x, y), but that doesnt work properly because it
    thinks that mouse position (0, 0) is the first cell in the grid, and
    then goes from there, so if i move the grid to a differernt area on the
    screen, the XYToCell is messed up in what it returns.

    Any ideas on how to get this to work or any other way?

    thanks,
    Kiran

      XYToCell probably takes window (client) coordinates. If you have the
      mouse position in screen coordinates, you will need to convert them with
      the ScreenToClient for your grid.

          That was the right thing to do, and it worked
