97 Notice that events are usually created by wxWidgets itself and creating
98 e.g. a wxPaintEvent in your code and sending it to e.g. a wxTextCtrl
99 will not usually affect it at all as native controls have no specific
100 knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of
101 specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you
102 want to create your own custom control and want to process its events
103 in the same manner as the standard ones.
104

106 different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
107 type as the first argument.

361 Queue event for a later processing.
362
363 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
364 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
365 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
366 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
367 the next event loop iteration).
368
369 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
370 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
371 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
372 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
373 moment).
374
375 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
376 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
377 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
378 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
379 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
380 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
381 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
382 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
22d17afa 383 the scenes. For example:
c3f94162
VZ
384 @code
385 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
386 {
36a2d2c4 387 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 388
36a2d2c4
RR
389 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
390 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
42013f4c 391
36a2d2c4 392 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
c3f94162
VZ
393 }
394 @endcode
42013f4c 395
22d17afa
FM
396 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
397 to avoid this problem:
398 @code
399 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
400 {
401 wxThreadEvent evt;
402 evt->SetString(str);
403
404 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
405 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
406 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
407 }
408 @endcode
409
c3f94162

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 1180 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1181
0d2f3b9d 1182 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
7c913512 1183
7333c0ef
VZ
1184 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1185 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1186 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1187 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1188 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1189 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1190 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1191 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1192 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1193 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1194 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1195 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1196 to a non-printable special keys.
1197
1198 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1199 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1200 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1201 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1202 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1203 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1204 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1205 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1206 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1207 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1208 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1209 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1210 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1211
1212 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1213 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1214 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1215 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1216 codes are defined as follows:
1217 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1218 letter.
1219 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1220 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1221 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1222 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1223 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1224 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1225 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1226
1227 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1228 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1229 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1230 WXK_NONE in this case.
1231
1232 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1233 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1234 independent of the current keyboard state.
1235
1236 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1237 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1238 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1239 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1240 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1241 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1242 enter on their keyboard.
1243
1244
1245 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1246 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1247 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1248 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1249 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1250 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1251 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1252 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1253 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1254 to 31.
09bdb1cb
VZ
1255 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1256 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
7333c0ef
VZ
1257
1258 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1259 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1260 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
0d2f3b9d 1261
d0fb62a6
VZ
1262 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1263 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1264 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1265 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1266 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1267 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1268 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1269 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1270 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1271 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1272 return false.
1273
1274
1275 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1276 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1277 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1f1d2182 1278
42013f4c
FM
1279 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1280 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
d0fb62a6
VZ
1281 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1282 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1283 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1284 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1285 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1286 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1f1d2182 1287
5effc1cf
VZ
1288 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1289 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1290 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1291 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1292
42013f4c
FM
1293 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1294 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1295 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1296 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1297 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1298 char events too.

1713 @class wxPaintEvent
23324ae1 1714
42013f4c 1715 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1716
7ca106e8
VZ
1717 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1718 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1719 @code
1720 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1721 {
1722 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1723
42013f4c
FM
1724 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1725 }
1726 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1727
1728 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1729 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1730 of this event handlers.
1731
1732
42013f4c
FM
1733 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1734 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1735 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1736 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1737 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1738 @code
1739 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1740 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1741 {
1742 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1743
42013f4c

1744 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to

42013f4c
FM
1748 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1749 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
23324ae1 1750
42013f4c
FM
1751 while (upd)
1752 {
1753 vX = upd.GetX();
1754 vY = upd.GetY();
1755 vW = upd.GetW();
1756 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1757
42013f4c

1758 // Alternatively we can do this:
1759 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());

1843 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1844
42013f4c
FM
1845 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1846 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1847
42013f4c
FM
1848 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1849 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1850 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1851 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1852
42013f4c
FM
1853 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1854 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1855 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1856
42013f4c
FM
1857 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1858 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1859 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1860 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1861 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1862 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1863
42013f4c
FM
1864 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1865 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1866 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1867
42013f4c
FM
1868 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1869 you can do one or both of the following:
1870 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1871 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1872 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1873 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1874 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1875 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1876 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1877
42013f4c
FM
1878 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1879 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1880 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1881
42013f4c
FM
1882 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1883 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1884 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2044 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2045 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2046 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2047
3a194bda
SL
2048 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2049 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 2050
42013f4c
FM
2051 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2052 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2053 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2054 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2055 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2056 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2057
42013f4c
FM
2058 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2059 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2060 text was copied or cut.
23324ae1 2061

42013f4c 2094 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 2095
42013f4c
FM
2096 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2097 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2098
42013f4c
FM
2099 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2100 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2101 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2102 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2103 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2104 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2105 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2106 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2107
2108 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2109 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2110 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2111 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2112 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2113
92dbce73
VZ
2114 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2115 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2116 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2117 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2118 another window.
2119
42013f4c
FM
2120 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2121 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2122 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2123 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2124
2125 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2126 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2127 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2128 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2129 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2130 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2131 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2132 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2133 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2134 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2135 buttons as well.

2724
2725 Note that if wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition returns wxDefaultPosition, this
2726 means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you
2727 should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().
2728
2729 When a keyboard context menu button is pressed on Windows, a right-click event
2730 with default position is sent first, and if this event is not processed, the
2731 context menu event is sent. So if you process mouse events and you find your
2732 context menu event handler is not being called, you could call wxEvent::Skip()
2733 for mouse right-down events.

2780 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just

2782 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
2783 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.

2785 To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table

2788 You must call wxEraseEvent::GetDC and use the returned device context if it is
2789 non-@NULL. If it is @NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.

3132 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3133 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3134 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3135 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.

3137 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3138 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3139 handlers.

3141 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3142 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3143 if the identifier is unrecognised.

3145 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3146 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3147 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
3148 found.

3221 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3222 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3223
42013f4c
FM
3224 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3225 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3226 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3227 controls.

7c913512 3230
42013f4c
FM
3231 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3232 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3233 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3234
42013f4c
FM
3235 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3236 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3237 event does not happen).
7c913512 3238
42013f4c
FM
3239 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3240 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3241 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3242
3243 @remarks
3244 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3245 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3246 are processed using the same event handler.
3247
3248 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3249 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3250 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for

7c913512 3342

3343 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3344 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3345 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3346 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3347 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3348
3349 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3350 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3351 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3352 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3353 if possible.
3354
3355 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3356 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3357 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3358 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3359 idle events.

3456 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3457 process.
3458
3459 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3460 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3461 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3462 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3463 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3464
a79a6671

3465 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3466 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3467 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3468 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).

42013f4c 3623 @class wxCloseEvent
7c913512 3624
42013f4c
FM
3625 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3626
3627 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3628 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3629 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3630 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3631
3632 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3633 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3634 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3635
3636 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3637 the window.
3638
3639 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3640 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3641 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3642 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3643
195be56d
FM
3644 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3645
3646 @code
3647 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3648 {
3649 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3650 {
3651 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3652 "Please confirm",
3653 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3654 {
3655 event.Veto();
3656 return;
3657 }
3658 }
3659
3660 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3661 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3662 }
3663 @endcode
3664
9fb99466
VZ
3665 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3666 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3667 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3668 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3669 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3670 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3671 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3672 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3673 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3674 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3675 will still kill your application).
