23324ae1 13 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 14
23324ae1

15 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
16 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
17 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
18 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
19 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
20 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
21 one up event corresponding to each down one.
7c913512 22
23324ae1
FM
23 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
24 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
25 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
26 from the @ref overview_keycodes "keycodes table". The translated key is, in
27 general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the key
28 combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for example.
7c913512 29
23324ae1
FM
30 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
31 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
32 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
33 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
34 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
35 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
36 as well.
7c913512 37
23324ae1
FM
38 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
39 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
40 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown, in general you should use
41 @c EVT_CHAR for this as for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is
42 keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly by the system itself.
7c913512 43
23324ae1
FM
44 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
45 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
46 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of
47 1, the ASCII value of this key combination.
7c913512 48
23324ae1 49 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
e54c96f1 50 running the text() wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
23324ae1 51 in any of the text controls shown in it.
7c913512 52
23324ae1
FM
53 @b Note: If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and
54 the event handler does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding
55 char event (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and
56 enables the programs that handle both types of events to be a bit
57 simpler.
7c913512 58
23324ae1
FM
59 @b Note for Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
60 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
61 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
62 event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
7c913512 63
23324ae1
FM
64 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
65 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.

651 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
23324ae1
FM
652 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as
653 well) when its content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
654 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
655 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
7c913512 656
23324ae1
FM
657 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
658 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to prevent
659 the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also possible to
660 examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and transform it in
661 some way before inserting in a control -- for example, changing its case or
662 removing invalid characters.
7c913512 663
23324ae1
FM
664 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
665 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the text
666 was copied or cut.

689 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
690 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 691
23324ae1
FM
692 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
693 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
694 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
695 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
696 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
697 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
698 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
699 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
7c913512 700
23324ae1
FM
701 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
702 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
703 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
704 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
705 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
7c913512 706
23324ae1
FM
707 @b NB: Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
708 supported
709 by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
710 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
711 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
712 time.
7c913512 713
23324ae1
FM
714 @b NB: Note the difference between methods like
715 wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
716 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true
717 when the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
718 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed. For
719 example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
720 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test
721 whether the left mouse button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if
722 wxMouseEvent::LeftDown returns @true,
723 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
724 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
725 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as
726 well.

1603 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
1604 This can either be caused by the application requesting
1605 context-sensitive help mode via wxContextHelp, or
1606 (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when the user
1607 pressed F1 or clicked

1610 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
1611 up the
1612 window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
1613 handlers.
1614 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
1615 clicked-on window,
1616 and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip if the identifier
1617 is unrecognised.
1618 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
1619 events for ancestors
1620 of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to show help for
1621 container windows,
1622 since processing would stop after the first window found.

1729 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
1730 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
1731 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
1732 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
1733 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again. If you need to ensure
7c913512

1734 a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
1735 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call
e54c96f1 1736 wxWakeUpIdle() periodically (for example from timer
23324ae1

1737 event), but note that both of these approaches (and especially the first one)
