    @class wxKeyEvent
    @wxheader{event.h}

    This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.

    Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
    key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
    is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
    release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
    maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
    generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
    one up event corresponding to each down one.

    Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
    the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
    an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
    from the @ref overview_keycodes "keycodes table". The translated key is, in
    general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the key
    combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for example.

    A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
    and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
    event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
    is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
    @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
    just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
    as well.

    Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
    found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
    wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown, in general you should use
    @c EVT_CHAR for this as for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is
    keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly by the system itself.

    Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
    example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
    same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of
    1, the ASCII value of this key combination.

    You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
    running the text() wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
    in any of the text controls shown in it.

    @b Note: If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and
    the event handler does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding
    char event (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.  This is by design and
    enables the programs that handle both types of events to be a bit
    simpler.

    @b Note for Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
    similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
    @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
    event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

    @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
    key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.

    @class wxClipboardTextEvent

    This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
    wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as
    well) when its content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
    There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
    wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.

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

    Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
    makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
    text was copied or cut.

    @beginEventTable
    @event{EVT_TEXT_COPY(id, func)}:

/**
    @class wxMouseEvent
    @wxheader{event.h}

    This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
    they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.

    All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
    left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
    @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
    buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
    can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
    portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
    button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
    under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).

    For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
    purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
    window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
    parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
    mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.

    @b NB: Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
    supported
    by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
    drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
    left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
    time.

    @b NB: Note the difference between methods like
    wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
    wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true
    when the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
    returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed. For
    example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
    wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test
    whether the left mouse button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if
    wxMouseEvent::LeftDown returns @true,
    wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
    wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
    platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as
    well.

/**
    @class wxHelpEvent
    @wxheader{event.h}

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

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