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
5effc1cf
VZ
1286 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1287 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1288 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1289 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1290
42013f4c
FM
1291 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1292 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1293 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1294 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1295 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1296 char events too.

42013f4c 1677 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1678
7ca106e8
VZ
1679 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1680 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1681 @code
1682 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1683 {
1684 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1686 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1687 }
1688 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1689
1690 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1691 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1692 of this event handlers.
1693
1694
42013f4c
FM
1695 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1696 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1697 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1698 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1699 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1700 @code
1701 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1702 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1703 {
1704 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1706 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to

42013f4c

1713 while (upd)
1714 {
1715 vX = upd.GetX();
1716 vY = upd.GetY();
1717 vW = upd.GetW();
1718 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1719
42013f4c

1720 // Alternatively we can do this:
1721 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());

23324ae1 1802
42013f4c
FM
1803 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1804 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1805
42013f4c
FM
1806 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1807 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1808 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1809 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1810
42013f4c
FM
1811 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1812 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1813 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1814
42013f4c
FM
1815 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1816 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1817 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1818 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1819 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1820 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1821
42013f4c
FM
1822 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1823 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1824 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1825
42013f4c
FM
1826 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1827 you can do one or both of the following:
1828 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1829 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1830 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1831 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1832 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1833 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1834 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1835
42013f4c
FM
1836 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1837 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1838 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1839
42013f4c
FM
1840 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1841 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1842 to be shown, and not in idle time.

FM
2002 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2003 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2004 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2005
42013f4c
FM
2006 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2007 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 2008
42013f4c
FM
2009 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2010 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2011 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2012 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2013 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2014 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2015
42013f4c
FM
2016 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2017 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2018 text was copied or cut.
23324ae1 2019
42013f4c

2021 These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl under GTK+.

42013f4c 2052 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 2053
42013f4c
FM
2054 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2055 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2056
42013f4c
FM
2057 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2058 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2059 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2060 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2061 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2062 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2063 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2064 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2065
2066 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2067 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2068 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2069 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2070 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2071
92dbce73
VZ
2072 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2073 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2074 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2075 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2076 another window.
2077
42013f4c
FM
2078 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2079 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2080 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2081 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2082
2083 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2084 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2085 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2086 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2087 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2088 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2089 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2090 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2091 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2092 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2093 buttons as well.

2684 means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you
2685 should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().
2686
2687 When a keyboard context menu button is pressed on Windows, a right-click event
2688 with default position is sent first, and if this event is not processed, the
2689 context menu event is sent. So if you process mouse events and you find your
2690 context menu event handler is not being called, you could call wxEvent::Skip()
2691 for mouse right-down events.

2738 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just

2740 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
2741 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.
2742
2743 To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table
2744 definition.
2745
2746 You must call wxEraseEvent::GetDC and use the returned device context if it is
2747 non-@NULL. If it is @NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.
2748
2749 @remarks

3129 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb

3131 event does not happen).
7c913512 3132

3133 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3134 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3135 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3136
3137 @remarks
3138 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3139 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3140 are processed using the same event handler.
3141
3142 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3143 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3144 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
3145 intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this, the
3146 macros behave exactly the same.

3233 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3234 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3235 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3236 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3237 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3238
3239 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3240 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3241 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3242 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3243 if possible.
3244
3245 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3246 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3247 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3248 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3249 idle events.

3363
3364 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3365 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3366 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3367 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3368 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.

3370 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3371 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent

3373 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).

FM
3530 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3531
3532 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3533 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3534 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3535 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3536
3537 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3538 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3539 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3540
3541 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3542 the window.
3543
3544 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3545 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3546 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3547 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

3570 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3571 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3572 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3573 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3574 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3575 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3576 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3577 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3578 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3579 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3580 will still kill your application).

4024 Helper macro for definition of custom event table macros.
4025
4026 This macro must only be used if wxEVENTS_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 is 1, otherwise
4027 it is better and more clear to just use the address of the function
4028 directly as this is all this macro does in this case. However it needs to
4029 explicitly cast @a func to @a functype, which is the type of wxEvtHandler
4030 member function taking the custom event argument when
4031 wxEVENTS_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 is 0.
4032
4033 See wx__DECLARE_EVT0 for an example of use.
