+ // keyCodes cannot be recognized by wxWidgets. These MBCS strings, however, are
+ // composed of more than one character, which means gdk_event->length will always
+ // greater than one. When gtk_event->length == 1, this may be an ASCII character
+ // and can be translated by wx. However, when MBCS characters are sent by IM,
+ // gdk_event->length will >= 2. So neither should we pass it to accelerator table,
+ // nor should we pass it to controls. The following explanation was excerpted
+ // from GDK documentation.
+ // gint length : the length of string.
+ // gchar *string : a null-terminated multi-byte string containing the composed
+ // characters resulting from the key press. When text is being input, in a GtkEntry
+ // for example, it is these characters which should be added to the input buffer.
+ // When using Input Methods to support internationalized text input, the composed
+ // characters appear here after the pre-editing has been completed.
