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.

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 1119 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 1120
42013f4c
FM
1121 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
1122 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
1123 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
1124 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
1125 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
1126 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
1127 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 1128
42013f4c
FM
1129 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
1130 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
1131 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
d4624460 1132 from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
42013f4c
FM
1133 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
1134 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
1135 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 1136
42013f4c
FM
1137 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
1138 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
1139 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
1140 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
1141 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
1142 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
1143 as well.
1f1d2182 1144
42013f4c
FM
1145 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
1146 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
1147 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
1148 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
1149 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 1150
42013f4c
FM
1151 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
1152 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
1153 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
1154 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 1155
42013f4c
FM
1156 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
1157 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
1158 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 1159
42013f4c
FM
1160 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
1161 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 1162
42013f4c
FM
1163 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1164 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1165 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
1166 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
1167 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 1168
42013f4c
FM
1169 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1170 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1171 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1172 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

1511 @class wxPaintEvent

42013f4c 1513 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1514
42013f4c
FM
1515 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1516 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1517 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1518 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1519
42013f4c
FM
1520 @remarks
1521 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1522 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1523 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1524 For example:
1525 @code
1526 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1527 {
1528 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1529
42013f4c
FM
1530 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1531 }
1532 @endcode
1533 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1534 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1535 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1536 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1537 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1538 @code
1539 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1540 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1541 {
1542 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1543

FM
1544 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to

42013f4c

1548 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels

23324ae1 1634
42013f4c
FM
1635 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1636 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1637
42013f4c
FM
1638 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1639 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1640 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1641 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1642
42013f4c
FM
1643 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1644 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1645 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1646
42013f4c
FM
1647 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1648 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1649 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1650 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1651 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1652 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1653
42013f4c
FM
1654 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1655 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1656 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1657
42013f4c
FM
1658 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1659 you can do one or both of the following:
1660 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1661 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1662 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1663 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1664 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1665 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1666 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1667
42013f4c
FM
1668 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1669 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1670 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1671
42013f4c
FM
1672 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1673 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1674 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1834 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a

1841 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1842 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1843 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also

1846 changing its case or removing invalid characters.

1889 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1890 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1891 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1892 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1893 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1894 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1895 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1896 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1897
1898 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1899 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1900 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1901 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1902 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.

1904 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1905 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1906 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1907 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1908 another window.
1909
42013f4c
FM
1910 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1911 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1912 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1913 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1914
1915 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
1916 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
1917 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
1918 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
1919 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
1920 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
1921 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1922 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
1923 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
1924 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
1925 buttons as well.

2699 An mouse capture lost event is sent to a window that obtained mouse capture,
2700 which was subsequently loss due to "external" event, for example when a dialog
2701 box is shown or if another application captures the mouse.
2702
2703 If this happens, this event is sent to all windows that are on capture stack
2704 (i.e. called CaptureMouse, but didn't call ReleaseMouse yet). The event is
2705 not sent if the capture changes because of a call to CaptureMouse or
2706 ReleaseMouse.
2707
2708 This event is currently emitted under Windows only.

2827 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2828 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2829 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2830 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 2831
42013f4c
FM
2832 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2833 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2834 handlers.
2835
2836 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2837 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2838 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2839
2840 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2841 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2842 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
2843 found.

2916 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
2917 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 2918
42013f4c
FM
2919 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2920 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2921 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2922 controls.

7c913512 2925
42013f4c
FM
2926 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2927 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2928 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2929
42013f4c
FM
2930 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2931 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2932 event does not happen).
7c913512 2933
42013f4c
FM
2934 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2935 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2936 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2937
2938 @remarks
2939 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2940 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2941 are processed using the same event handler.
2942

3034 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3035 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3036 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3037 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3038 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3039
3040 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3041 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3042 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3043 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3044 if possible.
3045
3046 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3047 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3048 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3049 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3050 idle events.

3162 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3163 process.
3164
3165 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3166 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3167 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3168 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3169 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3170
a79a6671
VZ
3171 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3172 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3173 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3174 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3c4f71cc 3175

3176 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca

7c913512 3330
42013f4c
FM
3331 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3332
3333 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3334 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3335 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3336 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3337
3338 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3339 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3340 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3341
3342 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3343 the window.
3344
3345 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3346 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3347 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3348 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3349
195be56d
FM
3350 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3351
3352 @code
3353 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3354 {
3355 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3356 {
3357 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3358 "Please confirm",
3359 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3360 {
3361 event.Veto();
3362 return;
3363 }
3364 }
3365
3366 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3367 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3368 }
3369 @endcode
3370
9fb99466
VZ
3371 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3372 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3373 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3374 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3375 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3376 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3377 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3378 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3379 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3380 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3381 will still kill your application).
