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

1032 here, some derived classes do use this method, e.g. wxWindow implements

42013f4c 1087 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1088
42013f4c 1089 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 1090
42013f4c
FM
1091 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
1092 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
1093 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
1094 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
1095 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
1096 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
1097 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 1098
42013f4c
FM
1099 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
1100 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
1101 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
d4624460 1102 from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
42013f4c
FM
1103 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
1104 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
1105 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 1106
42013f4c
FM
1107 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
1108 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
1109 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
1110 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
1111 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
1112 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
1113 as well.
1f1d2182 1114
42013f4c
FM
1115 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
1116 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
1117 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
1118 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
1119 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 1120
42013f4c
FM
1121 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
1122 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
1123 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
1124 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 1125
42013f4c
FM
1126 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
1127 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
1128 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 1129
42013f4c
FM
1130 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
1131 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 1132
42013f4c
FM
1133 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1134 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1135 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
1136 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
1137 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 1138
42013f4c
FM
1139 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1140 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1141 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1142 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

1471 @class wxPaintEvent
23324ae1 1472
42013f4c 1473 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1474
42013f4c
FM
1475 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1476 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1477 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1478 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1479
42013f4c
FM
1480 @remarks
1481 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1482 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1483 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1484 For example:
1485 @code
1486 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1487 {
1488 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1489
42013f4c
FM
1490 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1491 }
1492 @endcode
1493 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1494 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1495 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1496 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1497 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1498 @code
1499 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1500 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1501 {
1502 wxPaintDC dc(this);

42013f4c
FM
1508 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels

1593 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1594
42013f4c
FM
1595 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1596 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1597
42013f4c
FM
1598 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1599 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1600 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1601 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1602
42013f4c
FM
1603 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1604 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1605 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1606
42013f4c
FM
1607 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1608 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1609 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1610 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1611 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1612 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1613
42013f4c
FM
1614 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1615 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1616 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1617
42013f4c
FM
1618 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1619 you can do one or both of the following:
1620 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1621 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1622 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1623 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1624 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1625 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1626 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1627
42013f4c
FM
1628 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1629 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1630 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1631
42013f4c
FM
1632 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1633 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1634 to be shown, and not in idle time.

42013f4c

1801 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1802 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1803 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also

1846 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1847 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1848
42013f4c
FM
1849 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1850 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1851 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1852 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1853 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1854 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1855 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1856 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1857
1858 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1859 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1860 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1861 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1862 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1863
92dbce73
VZ
1864 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1865 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1866 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1867 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1868 another window.
1869
42013f4c
FM
1870 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1871 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1872 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse

1874
1875 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
1876 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
1877 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
1878 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
1879 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
1880 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
1881 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1882 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
1883 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
1884 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
1885 buttons as well.

2787 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2788 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2789 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2790 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 2791
42013f4c
FM
2792 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2793 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2794 handlers.
2795
2796 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2797 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2798 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2799
2800 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2801 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2802 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
2803 found.

2876 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
2877 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 2878
42013f4c
FM
2879 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2880 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2881 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2882 controls.

7c913512 2885
42013f4c
FM
2886 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2887 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2888 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2889
42013f4c
FM
2890 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2891 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2892 event does not happen).
7c913512 2893
42013f4c
FM
2894 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2895 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2896 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2897
2898 @remarks
2899 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2900 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2901 are processed using the same event handler.
2902
2903 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
2904 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting

2994 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
2995 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
2996 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
2997 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
2998 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
2999
3000 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3001 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3002 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3003 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3004 if possible.
3005
3006 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3007 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3008 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3009 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3010 idle events.

3122 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3123 process.
3124
3125 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3126 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3127 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3128 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3129 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3130
a79a6671
VZ
3131 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3132 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3133 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3134 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3c4f71cc 3135
a79a6671
VZ
3136 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca
3137 be very useful to receive notifications about the window destruction in the
3138 parent window or in any other object interested in this window.

7c913512 3290
42013f4c
FM
3291 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3292
3293 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3294 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3295 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3296 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3297
3298 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3299 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3300 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3301
3302 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3303 the window.
3304
3305 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3306 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3307 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3308 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3309
195be56d
FM
3310 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3311
3312 @code
3313 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3314 {
3315 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3316 {
3317 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3318 "Please confirm",
3319 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3320 {
3321 event.Veto();
3322 return;
3323 }
3324 }
3325
3326 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3327 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3328 }
3329 @endcode
3330
9fb99466
VZ
3331 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3332 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3333 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3334 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3335 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3336 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3337 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3338 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3339 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3340 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3341 will still kill your application).
