Popup menu at the insertion point position in a wx.TextCtrl

Does somebody knows how to create a custom context menu in a TextCtrl object using wxPython ?

For the moment, I could create a custom menu but this one appears at the mouse cursor position , when the original one appears at the text cursor position when hitting the [Menu] key .

Okay,

Could somehow do the trick but this works only

1. when the font is monospaced (see the code below),
2. when there is no tabulation character ("\t") in the focused line...

Simply: getting the position of the text cursor into row/column coordinates and multiplying them by the character size. This gives the desired popup menu position.

import wx

# Test context menu that should be displayed at the insertion point position 
# in the TextCtrl object
class CustomMenu(wx.Menu):

    def __init__(self):
        wx.Menu.__init__(self)

        # Add some items in the menu
        self.AppendItem(wx.MenuItem(self, wx.NewId(), 'This should be at the'))
        self.AppendItem(wx.MenuItem(self, wx.NewId(), 'insertion point'))
        self.AppendItem(wx.MenuItem(self, wx.NewId(), 'position...'))

# Text area from which to open the custom context menu
class TestTextCtrl(wx.TextCtrl):

    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.TextCtrl.__init__(self, parent, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)

        self.parent = parent

        # Set a monospaced font
        font = wx.Font(12, wx.MODERN, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL)
        self.SetFont(font)

        # Get the character size (width and height)
        self.pixelSize = font.GetPixelSize()

        # Display some text
        self.SetValue("[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"

                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
                      "[Menu] key = original context menu \n"
                      "[Ctrl] key = custom popup menu \n"
