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
412 to do it manually when using it.

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

7c913512 1181
42013f4c 1182 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 1183
42013f4c
FM
1184 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
1185 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
1186 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
1187 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
1188 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
1189 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
1190 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 1191
42013f4c
FM
1192 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
1193 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
1194 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
d4624460 1195 from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
42013f4c
FM
1196 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
1197 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
1198 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 1199
42013f4c
FM
1200 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
1201 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
1202 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
1203 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
1204 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
1205 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
1206 as well.
1f1d2182 1207
42013f4c
FM
1208 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
1209 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
1210 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
1211 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
1212 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 1213
42013f4c
FM
1214 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
1215 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
1216 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
1217 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 1218
42013f4c
FM
1219 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
1220 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
1221 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 1222
42013f4c
FM
1223 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
1224 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 1225
42013f4c
FM
1226 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1227 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1228 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
1229 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
1230 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 1231
42013f4c
FM
1232 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1233 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1234 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1235 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

1574 @class wxPaintEvent
23324ae1 1575
42013f4c 1576 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1577
7ca106e8
VZ
1578 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1579 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1580 @code
1581 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1582 {
1583 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1584
42013f4c
FM
1585 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1586 }
1587 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1588
1589 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1590 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1591 of this event handlers.
1592
1593
42013f4c
FM
1594 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1595 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1596 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1597 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1598 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1599 @code
1600 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1601 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1602 {
1603 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1604
42013f4c
FM
1605 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to

42013f4c
FM
1609 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1610 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
23324ae1 1611
42013f4c
FM
1612 while (upd)
1613 {
1614 vX = upd.GetX();
1615 vY = upd.GetY();
1616 vW = upd.GetW();
1617 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1618
42013f4c

1619 // Alternatively we can do this:
1620 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());

1630 @remarks
1631 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1632 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle

23324ae1 1701
42013f4c
FM
1702 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1703 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1704
42013f4c
FM
1705 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1706 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1707 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1708 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1709
42013f4c
FM
1710 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1711 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1712 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1713
42013f4c
FM
1714 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1715 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1716 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1717 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1718 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1719 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1720
42013f4c
FM
1721 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1722 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1723 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1724
42013f4c
FM
1725 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1726 you can do one or both of the following:
1727 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1728 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1729 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1730 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1731 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1732 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1733 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1734
42013f4c
FM
1735 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1736 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1737 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1738
42013f4c
FM
1739 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1740 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1741 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1901 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
1902 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
1903 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 1904
42013f4c
FM
1905 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
1906 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 1907
42013f4c
FM
1908 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1909 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1910 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
1911 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
1912 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
1913 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 1914
42013f4c
FM
1915 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
1916 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
1917 text was copied or cut.
23324ae1 1918
42013f4c

1919 @note
1920 These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl under GTK+.

42013f4c 1951 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 1952
42013f4c
FM
1953 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1954 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1955
42013f4c
FM
1956 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1957 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1958 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1959 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1960 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1961 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1962 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1963 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1964
1965 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1966 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1967 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1968 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1969 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1970
92dbce73
VZ
1971 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1972 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1973 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1974 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1975 another window.
1976
42013f4c
FM
1977 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1978 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1979 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1980 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1981
1982 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
1983 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
1984 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
1985 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
1986 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
1987 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
1988 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1989 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
1990 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
1991 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
1992 buttons as well.

FM
2346 Note that wxCommandEvents and wxCommandEvent-derived event classes by default
2347 and unlike other wxEvent-derived classes propagate upward from the source
2348 window (the window which emits the event) up to the first parent which processes
2349 the event. Be sure to read @ref overview_events_propagation.
2350
42013f4c

2637 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just

2925 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2926 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2927 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2928 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 2929

2930 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2931 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2932 handlers.
2933
2934 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2935 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2936 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2937
2938 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2939 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2940 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
2941 found.

3014 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3015 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3016
42013f4c
FM
3017 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3018 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3019 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3020 controls.

7c913512 3023
42013f4c
FM
3024 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3025 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3026 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3027
42013f4c
FM
3028 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3029 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3030 event does not happen).
7c913512 3031
42013f4c
FM
3032 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3033 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3034 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3035
3036 @remarks
3037 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3038 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3039 are processed using the same event handler.

3132 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3133 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3134 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3135 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3136 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3137
3138 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3139 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3140 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3141 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3142 if possible.
3143
3144 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3145 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3146 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3147 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3148 idle events.

3260 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3261 process.
3262
3263 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3264 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3265 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3266 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3267 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3268
a79a6671
VZ
3269 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3270 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3271 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3272 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).

7c913512 3428
42013f4c
FM
3429 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3430
3431 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3432 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3433 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3434 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3435
3436 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3437 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3438 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3439
3440 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3441 the window.
3442
3443 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3444 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3445 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3446 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3447
195be56d
FM
3448 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3449
3450 @code
3451 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3452 {
3453 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3454 {
3455 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3456 "Please confirm",
3457 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3458 {
3459 event.Veto();
3460 return;
3461 }
3462 }
3463
3464 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3465 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3466 }
3467 @endcode
3468
9fb99466
VZ
3469 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3470 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3471 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3472 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3473 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3474 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3475 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3476 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3477 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3478 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3479 will still kill your application).
