97 Notice that events are usually created by wxWidgets itself and creating
98 e.g. a wxPaintEvent in your code and sending it to e.g. a wxTextCtrl
99 will not usually affect it at all as native controls have no specific
100 knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of
101 specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you
102 want to create your own custom control and want to process its events
103 in the same manner as the standard ones.
104

106 different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
107 type as the first argument.

361 Queue event for a later processing.
362
363 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
364 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
365 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
366 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
367 the next event loop iteration).
368
369 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
370 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
371 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
372 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
373 moment).
374
375 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
376 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
377 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
378 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
379 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
380 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
381 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
382 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
22d17afa 383 the scenes. For example:
c3f94162
VZ
384 @code
385 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
386 {
36a2d2c4 387 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 388
36a2d2c4
RR
389 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
390 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
42013f4c 391
36a2d2c4 392 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
c3f94162
VZ
393 }
394 @endcode
42013f4c 395
22d17afa
FM
396 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
397 to avoid this problem:
398 @code
399 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
400 {
401 wxThreadEvent evt;
402 evt->SetString(str);
403
404 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
405 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
406 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
407 }
408 @endcode
409
c3f94162
VZ
410 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
411 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need

425 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post

42013f4c 1180 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1181
0d2f3b9d 1182 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
7c913512 1183
7333c0ef
VZ
1184 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1185 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1186 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1187 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1188 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1189 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1190 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1191 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1192 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1193 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1194 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1195 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1196 to a non-printable special keys.
1197
1198 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1199 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1200 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1201 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1202 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1203 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1204 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1205 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1206 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1207 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1208 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1209 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1210 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1211
1212 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1213 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1214 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1215 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1216 codes are defined as follows:
1217 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1218 letter.
1219 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1220 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1221 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1222 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1223 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1224 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1225 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1226
1227 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1228 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1229 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1230 WXK_NONE in this case.
1231
1232 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1233 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1234 independent of the current keyboard state.
1235
1236 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1237 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1238 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1239 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1240 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1241 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1242 enter on their keyboard.
1243
1244
1245 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1246 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1247 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1248 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1249 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1250 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1251 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1252 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1253 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1254 to 31.
1255
1256 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1257 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1258 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
0d2f3b9d 1259
d0fb62a6
VZ
1260 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1261 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1262 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1263 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1264 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1265 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1266 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1267 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1268 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1269 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1270 return false.
1271
1272
1273 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1274 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1275 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1f1d2182 1276
42013f4c
FM
1277 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1278 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
d0fb62a6
VZ
1279 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1280 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1281 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1282 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1283 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1284 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1f1d2182 1285
42013f4c
FM
1286 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1287 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1288 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1289 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1290 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1291 char events too.

42013f4c 1672 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1673
7ca106e8
VZ
1674 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1675 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1676 @code
1677 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1678 {
1679 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1681 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1682 }
1683 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1684
1685 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1686 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1687 of this event handlers.
1688
1689
42013f4c
FM
1690 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1691 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1692 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1693 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1694 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1695 @code
1696 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1697 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1698 {
1699 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1705 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1706 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list

42013f4c

1708 while (upd)
1709 {
1710 vX = upd.GetX();
1711 vY = upd.GetY();
1712 vW = upd.GetW();
1713 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1714

42013f4c

1798 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1799 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1800
42013f4c
FM
1801 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1802 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1803 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1804 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1805
42013f4c
FM
1806 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1807 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1808 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1809
42013f4c
FM
1810 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1811 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1812 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1813 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1814 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1815 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1816
42013f4c
FM
1817 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1818 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1819 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1820
42013f4c
FM
1821 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1822 you can do one or both of the following:
1823 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1824 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1825 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1826 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1827 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1828 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1829 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1830
42013f4c
FM
1831 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1832 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1833 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1834
42013f4c
FM
1835 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1836 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1837 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1997 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
1998 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
1999 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2000
42013f4c
FM
2001 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2002 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 2003
42013f4c
FM
2004 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2005 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2006 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2007 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2008 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2009 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2010
42013f4c
FM
2011 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2012 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2013 text was copied or cut.
23324ae1 2014
42013f4c

2016 These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl under GTK+.

42013f4c 2047 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 2048
42013f4c
FM
2049 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2050 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2051
42013f4c
FM
2052 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2053 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2054 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2055 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2056 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2057 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2058 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2059 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2060
2061 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2062 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2063 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2064 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2065 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2066
92dbce73
VZ
2067 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2068 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2069 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2070 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2071 another window.
2072
42013f4c
FM
2073 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2074 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2075 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2076 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2077
2078 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2079 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2080 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2081 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2082 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2083 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2084 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2085 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2086 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2087 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2088 buttons as well.

2683 with default position is sent first, and if this event is not processed, the

2733 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just
2734 before the paint event) and may cause flicker. It is therefore recommended that
2735 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
2736 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.
2737
2738 To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table
2739 definition.
2740
2741 You must call wxEraseEvent::GetDC and use the returned device context if it is
2742 non-@NULL. If it is @NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.
2743
2744 @remarks
2745 Use the device context returned by GetDC to draw on, don't create

3031 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()

3120 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb

3122 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3123
42013f4c

3124 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3125 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3126 event does not happen).
7c913512 3127
42013f4c
FM
3128 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3129 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3130 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3131
3132 @remarks
3133 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3134 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3135 are processed using the same event handler.

3228 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3229 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3230 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3231 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3232 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3233
3234 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3235 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3236 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3237 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3238 if possible.
3239
3240 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3241 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3242 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3243 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3244 idle events.

3358
3359 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3360 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3361 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3362 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3363 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.

3365 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the

42013f4c
FM
3525 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3526
3527 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3528 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3529 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3530 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3531
3532 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3533 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3534 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3535
3536 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3537 the window.
3538
3539 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3540 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3541 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3542 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

3565 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3566 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3567 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3568 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3569 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3570 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3571 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3572 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3573 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3574 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3575 will still kill your application).
