14 An event is a structure holding information about an event passed to a
15 callback or member function.

17 wxEvent used to be a multipurpose event object, and is an abstract base class
18 for other event classes (see below).

36 Constructor.
37
38 Notice that events are usually created by wxWidgets itself and creating
39 e.g. a wxPaintEvent in your code and sending it to e.g. a wxTextCtrl
40 will not usually affect it at all as native controls have no specific
41 knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of
42 specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you
43 want to create your own custom control and want to process its events
44 in the same manner as the standard ones.
45
46 Also please notice that the order of parameters in this constructor is
47 different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
48 type as the first argument.

50 @param id
51 The identifier of the object (window, timer, ...) which generated
52 this event.

294 Queue event for a later processing.
295
296 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
297 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
298 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
299 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
300 the next event loop iteration).
301
302 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
303 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
304 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
305 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
306 moment).
307
308 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
309 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
310 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
311 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
312 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
313 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
314 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
315 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
316 the scenes. For example
317 @code
318 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
319 {
36a2d2c4 320 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 321
36a2d2c4
RR
322 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
323 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy

364 Processes an event, searching event tables and calling zero or more suitable
365 event handler function(s).
366
367 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
368 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
369 framework (and application).
370
371 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
372 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
373 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
374
375 An instance where you might actually override the ProcessEvent() function is where
376 you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by
377 wxWidgets. For example, in the document/view architecture, documents and views
378 are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, ProcessEvent() will
379 need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler functions
380 are associated with these objects. The property classes library (wxProperty) also
381 overrides ProcessEvent() for similar reasons.
382
383 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
384 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
7f853dd0 385 the function skips to step (6).
db82d78b 386 -# If the object is a wxWindow, ProcessEvent() is recursively called on the
7f853dd0 387 window's wxValidator. If this returns @true, the function exits.
db82d78b 388 -# SearchEventTable() is called for this event handler. If this fails, the base
7f853dd0
FM
389 class table is tried, and so on until no more tables exist or an appropriate
390 function was found, in which case the function exits.
db82d78b 391 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
7f853dd0
FM
392 chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
393 @image html overview_eventhandling_chain.png
394 (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
395 the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
396 Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
397 (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
398 If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
db82d78b 399 -# If the object is a wxWindow and the event is a wxCommandEvent, ProcessEvent()

42013f4c 749 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 750
42013f4c
FM
751 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
752 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
753 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
754 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
755 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
756 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
757 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 758
42013f4c
FM
759 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
760 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
761 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
d4624460 762 from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
42013f4c
FM
763 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
764 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
765 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 766
42013f4c
FM
767 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
768 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
769 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
770 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
771 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
772 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
773 as well.
1f1d2182 774
42013f4c
FM
775 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
776 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
777 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
778 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
779 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 780
42013f4c
FM
781 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
782 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
783 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
784 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 785
42013f4c
FM
786 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
787 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
788 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 789
42013f4c
FM
790 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
791 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 792
42013f4c
FM
793 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
794 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
795 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
796 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
797 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 798
42013f4c
FM
799 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
800 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
801 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
802 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

42013f4c 1133 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1134
42013f4c
FM
1135 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1136 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1137 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1138 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1139
42013f4c
FM
1140 @remarks
1141 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1142 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1143 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1144 For example:
1145 @code
1146 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1147 {
1148 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1149
42013f4c
FM
1150 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1151 }
1152 @endcode
1153 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1154 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1155 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1156 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1157 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1158 @code
1159 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1160 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1161 {
1162 wxPaintDC dc(this);

23324ae1 1254
42013f4c
FM
1255 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1256 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1257
42013f4c
FM
1258 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1259 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1260 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1261 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1262
42013f4c
FM
1263 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1264 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1265 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1266
42013f4c
FM
1267 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1268 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1269 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1270 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1271 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1272 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1273
42013f4c
FM
1274 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1275 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1276 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1277
42013f4c
FM
1278 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1279 you can do one or both of the following:
1280 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1281 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1282 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1283 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1284 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1285 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1286 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1287
42013f4c
FM
1288 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1289 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1290 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1291
42013f4c
FM
1292 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1293 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1294 to be shown, and not in idle time.

23324ae1 1453

1454 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
1455 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
1456 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 1457
42013f4c
FM
1458 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
1459 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 1460
42013f4c
FM
1461 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1462 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1463 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
1464 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
1465 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
1466 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 1467
42013f4c
FM
1468 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
1469 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
1470 text was copied or cut.
23324ae1 1471
42013f4c

42013f4c 1504 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 1505
42013f4c
FM
1506 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1507 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1508
42013f4c
FM
1509 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1510 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1511 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1512 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1513 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1514 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1515 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1516 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1517
1518 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1519 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1520 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1521 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1522 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1523
92dbce73
VZ
1524 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1525 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1526 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1527 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1528 another window.
1529
42013f4c
FM
1530 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1531 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1532 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1533 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1534
1535 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
1536 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when the event corresponds
1537 to the left mouse button click while the latter returns @true if the left
1538 mouse button is currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging
1539 the mouse you can use wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse
1540 button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1541 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in wxWidgets
1542 whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent).
1543 The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as well.

2196 This class is used for context menu events, sent to give
2197 the application a chance to show a context (popup) menu.
2198
2199 Note that if wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition returns wxDefaultPosition, this
2200 means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you
2201 should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().
2202
2203 When a keyboard context menu button is pressed on Windows, a right-click event
2204 with default position is sent first, and if this event is not processed, the
2205 context menu event is sent. So if you process mouse events and you find your
2206 context menu event handler is not being called, you could call wxEvent::Skip()
2207 for mouse right-down events.

2254 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just

2256 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
2257 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.

2263 non-@NULL. If it is @NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.

2481 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2482 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2483 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when

2491 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2492 if the identifier is unrecognised.

2494 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further

2570 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone

7c913512 2572
42013f4c
FM
2573 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2574 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2575 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2576 controls.

7c913512 2579
42013f4c
FM
2580 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2581 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2582 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2583
42013f4c
FM
2584 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2585 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2586 event does not happen).
7c913512 2587
42013f4c
FM
2588 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2589 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2590 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2591
2592 @remarks
2593 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2594 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2595 are processed using the same event handler.

2688 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
2689 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
2690 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
2691 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
2692 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
2693
2694 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
2695 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
2696 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
2697 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
2698 if possible.
2699
2700 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
2701 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
2702 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
2703 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
2704 idle events.

2818
2819 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
2820 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
2821 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
2822 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you

2986 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
2987
2988 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
2989 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
2990 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
2991 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
2992
2993 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
2994 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
2995 using wxWindow::Destroy.
2996
2997 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
2998 the window.
2999
3000 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3001 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3002 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3003 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3004
195be56d
FM
3005 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3006
3007 @code
3008 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3009 {
3010 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3011 {
3012 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3013 "Please confirm",
3014 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3015 {
3016 event.Veto();
3017 return;
3018 }
3019 }
3020
3021 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3022 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3023 }
3024 @endcode

VZ
3026 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3027 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3028 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3029 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3030 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3031 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3032 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3033 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3034 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3035 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3036 will still kill your application).
