I don't know the answer to this specific question, but if one is not 
forthcoming in this forum, you might try asking it on 
germane.comp.python.wxpython or the mailing list at:
wxPython-users at lists.wxwindows.org

In the meantime, try right-clicking on the wxTextCtrl and see if that 
gives you the functionality you are looking for. (I know you want the 
frame menubar to do this, but this might help for now.)
