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
105 Also please notice that the order of parameters in this constructor is
106 different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
107 type as the first argument.

384 Queue event for a later processing.
385
386 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
387 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
388 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
389 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
390 the next event loop iteration).
391
392 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
393 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
394 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
395 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
396 moment).
397
398 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
399 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
400 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
401 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
402 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
403 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
404 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
405 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
22d17afa 406 the scenes. For example:
c3f94162
VZ
407 @code
408 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
409 {
36a2d2c4 410 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 411
36a2d2c4
RR
412 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
413 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
42013f4c 414
36a2d2c4 415 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
c3f94162
VZ
416 }
417 @endcode
42013f4c 418
22d17afa
FM
419 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
420 to avoid this problem:
421 @code
422 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
423 {
424 wxThreadEvent evt;
425 evt->SetString(str);
426
427 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
428 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
429 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
430 }
431 @endcode
432
c3f94162
VZ
433 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
434 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
435 to do it manually when using it.

447
448 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
449 events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
450 (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
451 wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the

42013f4c 1218 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1219
0d2f3b9d 1220 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
7c913512 1221
7333c0ef
VZ
1222 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1223 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1224 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1225 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1226 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1227 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1228 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1229 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1230 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1231 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1232 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1233 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1234 to a non-printable special keys.
1235
1236 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1237 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1238 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1239 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1240 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1241 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1242 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1243 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1244 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1245 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1246 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1247 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1248 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1249
1250 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1251 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1252 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1253 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1254 codes are defined as follows:
1255 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1256 letter.
1257 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1258 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1259 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1260 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1261 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1262 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1263 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1264
1265 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1266 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1267 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1268 WXK_NONE in this case.
1269
1270 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1271 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1272 independent of the current keyboard state.
1273
1274 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1275 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1276 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1277 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1278 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1279 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1280 enter on their keyboard.
1281
1282
1283 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1284 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1285 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1286 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1287 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1288 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1289 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1290 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1291 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1292 to 31.
09bdb1cb
VZ
1293 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1294 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
7333c0ef
VZ
1295
1296 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1297 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1298 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
0d2f3b9d 1299
d0fb62a6
VZ
1300 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1301 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1302 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1303 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1304 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1305 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1306 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1307 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1308 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1309 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1310 return false.
1311
1312
1313 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1314 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1315 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.

42013f4c
FM
1317 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1318 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
d0fb62a6
VZ
1319 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1320 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1321 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1322 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1323 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1324 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1f1d2182 1325
5effc1cf
VZ
1326 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1327 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1328 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1329 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1330
42013f4c
FM
1331 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1332 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1333 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1334 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1335 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1336 char events too.

VZ
1349 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1350 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1351 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1352 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1353 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1354 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1355 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1356 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
4cf1a9bf
VZ
1357 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1358 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1359 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1360 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1361 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1362 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1363 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1364 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1365 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1366 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1367 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1368 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1369 with their processing.

1819 @class wxPaintEvent

42013f4c 1821 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1822
7ca106e8
VZ
1823 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1824 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1825 @code
1826 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1827 {
1828 wxPaintDC dc(this);

FM
1830 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1831 }
1832 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1833
1834 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1835 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1836 of this event handlers.
1837
1838
42013f4c
FM
1839 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1840 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1841 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1842 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1843 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1844 @code
1845 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1846 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1847 {
1848 wxPaintDC dc(this);

42013f4c

1854 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1855 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list

1857 while (upd)
1858 {
1859 vX = upd.GetX();
1860 vY = upd.GetY();
1861 vW = upd.GetW();
1862 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1863

1876 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a

1949 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1950
42013f4c
FM
1951 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1952 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1953
42013f4c
FM
1954 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1955 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1956 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1957 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1958
42013f4c
FM
1959 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1960 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1961 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1962
42013f4c
FM
1963 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1964 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1965 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1966 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1967 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1968 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1969
42013f4c
FM
1970 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1971 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1972 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1973
42013f4c
FM
1974 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1975 you can do one or both of the following:
1976 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1977 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1978 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1979 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1980 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1981 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1982 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1983
42013f4c
FM
1984 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1985 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1986 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1987
42013f4c
FM
1988 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1989 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1990 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2150 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a

2152 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2153

2154 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,

23324ae1 2156
42013f4c

2157 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2158 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2159 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2160 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2161 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2162 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2163

2164 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which

2212 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2213 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2214
42013f4c
FM
2215 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2216 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2217 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2218 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2219 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2220 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2221 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2222 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2223
2224 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2225 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2226 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2227 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2228 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2229
92dbce73
VZ
2230 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2231 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2232 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2233 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2234 another window.
2235
42013f4c
FM
2236 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2237 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2238 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2239 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2240
2241 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2242 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2243 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2244 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2245 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2246 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2247 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2248 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2249 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2250 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2251 buttons as well.

2946 A focus event is sent when a window's focus changes. The window losing focus

2953 The focus event handlers should almost invariably call wxEvent::Skip() on
2954 their event argument to allow the default handling to take place. Failure
2955 to do this may result in incorrect behaviour of the native controls. Also
2956 note that wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS handler must not call wxWindow::SetFocus() as
2957 this, again, is not supported by all native controls. If you need to do
2958 this, consider using the @ref sec_delayed_action described in wxIdleEvent

3262 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3263 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3264 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3265 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 3266

FM
3267 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3268 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3269 handlers.
3270
3271 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3272 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3273 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3274
3275 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3276 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3277 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
3278 found.

3351 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3352 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3353
42013f4c
FM
3354 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3355 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3356 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3357 controls.

7c913512 3360
42013f4c
FM
3361 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3362 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3363 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3364
42013f4c
FM
3365 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3366 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3367 event does not happen).
7c913512 3368
42013f4c
FM
3369 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3370 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3371 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3372
3373 @remarks
3374 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3375 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3376 are processed using the same event handler.
3377

3379 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting

7c913512 3472
42013f4c

3473 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3474 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3475 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3476 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3477 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3478
3479 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3480 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3481 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3482 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3483 if possible.
3484
06bfd045
VZ
3485 By default, idle events are sent to all windows, including even the hidden
3486 ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
3487 wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
3488 windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
3489 in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
3490 receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
3491 processing.
3492
3493 If sending idle events to all windows is causing a significant overhead in
3494 your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value
3495 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
3496 style for every window which should receive idle events, all the other ones
3497 will not receive them in this case.

3507 @section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
3508
3509 wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
3510 This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
3511 something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
3512 mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
3513 be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
3514 again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
3515 want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
3516 called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
3517
3518 This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
3519 you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
3520 handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
3521 called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
3522 and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
3523 same action again.
3524
3525 Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
3526 original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
3527 wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
3528 then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.

3618 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3619 process.
3620
3621 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3622 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3623 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3624 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3625 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3626
a79a6671
VZ
3627 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3628 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3629 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3630 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3c4f71cc 3631
a79a6671
VZ
3632 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca
3633 be very useful to receive notifications about the window destruction in the
3634 parent window or in any other object interested in this window.

7c913512 3786
42013f4c
FM
3787 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3788
3789 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3790 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3791 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3792 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3793
3794 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3795 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3796 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3797
3798 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3799 the window.
3800
3801 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3802 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3803 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3804 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3805
195be56d
FM
3806 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3807
3808 @code
3809 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3810 {
3811 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3812 {
3813 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3814 "Please confirm",
3815 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3816 {
3817 event.Veto();
3818 return;
3819 }
3820 }
3821
3822 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3823 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3824 }
3825 @endcode
3826
9fb99466
VZ
3827 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3828 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3829 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3830 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3831 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3832 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3833 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3834 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3835 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3836 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3837 will still kill your application).
