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
412 to do it manually when using it.

425 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post

42013f4c 1146 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 1147
42013f4c
FM
1148 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
1149 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
1150 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
1151 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
1152 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
1153 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
1154 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 1155
42013f4c
FM
1156 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
1157 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
1158 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
d4624460 1159 from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
42013f4c
FM
1160 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
1161 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
1162 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 1163
42013f4c
FM
1164 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
1165 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
1166 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
1167 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
1168 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
1169 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
1170 as well.
1f1d2182 1171
42013f4c
FM
1172 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
1173 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
1174 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
1175 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
1176 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 1177
42013f4c
FM
1178 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
1179 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
1180 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
1181 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 1182
42013f4c
FM
1183 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
1184 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
1185 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 1186
42013f4c
FM
1187 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
1188 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 1189
42013f4c
FM
1190 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1191 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1192 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
1193 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
1194 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 1195
42013f4c
FM
1196 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1197 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1198 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1199 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

1478 The default event handler for this event propagates the event to child windows,
1479 since Windows only sends the events to top-level windows.
1480 If intercepting this event for a top-level window, remember to call the base
1481 class handler, or to pass the event on to the window's children explicitly.

42013f4c 1540 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1541
42013f4c
FM
1542 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1543 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1544 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1545 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1546
42013f4c
FM
1547 @remarks
1548 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1549 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1550 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1551 For example:
1552 @code
1553 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1554 {
1555 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1556
42013f4c
FM
1557 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1558 }
1559 @endcode
1560 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1561 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1562 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1563 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1564 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1565 @code
1566 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1567 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1568 {
1569 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1571 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to

1575 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels

1660 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1661
42013f4c
FM
1662 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1663 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1664
42013f4c
FM
1665 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1666 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1667 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1668 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1669
42013f4c
FM
1670 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1671 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1672 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1673
42013f4c
FM
1674 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1675 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1676 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1677 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1678 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1679 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1680
42013f4c
FM
1681 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1682 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1683 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1684
42013f4c
FM
1685 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1686 you can do one or both of the following:
1687 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1688 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1689 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1690 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1691 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1692 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1693 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1694
42013f4c
FM
1695 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1696 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1697 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1698
42013f4c
FM
1699 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1700 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1701 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1861 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
1862 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
1863 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 1864

23324ae1 1867
42013f4c

1868 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1869 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1870 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
1871 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
1872 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
1873 changing its case or removing invalid characters.

42013f4c 1911 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 1912
42013f4c
FM
1913 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1914 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1915
42013f4c
FM
1916 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1917 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1918 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1919 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1920 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1921 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1922 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1923 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1924
1925 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1926 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1927 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1928 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1929 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1930
92dbce73
VZ
1931 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1932 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1933 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1934 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1935 another window.
1936
42013f4c
FM
1937 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1938 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1939 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1940 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1941
1942 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
1943 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
1944 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
1945 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
1946 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
1947 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
1948 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1949 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
1950 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
1951 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
1952 buttons as well.

2854 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2855 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2856 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2857 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 2858
42013f4c
FM
2859 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2860 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2861 handlers.
2862
2863 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2864 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2865 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2866
2867 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2868 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2869 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
2870 found.

2943 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
2944 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 2945
42013f4c
FM
2946 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2947 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2948 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2949 controls.

7c913512 2952
42013f4c
FM
2953 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2954 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2955 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2956
42013f4c
FM
2957 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2958 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2959 event does not happen).
7c913512 2960
42013f4c
FM
2961 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2962 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2963 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2964
2965 @remarks
2966 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2967 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2968 are processed using the same event handler.

7c913512 3060
42013f4c

3061 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3062 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3063 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3064 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3065 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3066
3067 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3068 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3069 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3070 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3071 if possible.
3072
3073 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3074 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3075 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3076 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3077 idle events.

3189 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3190 process.
3191
3192 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3193 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3194 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3195 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3196 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3197
a79a6671
VZ
3198 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3199 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3200 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3201 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).

7c913512 3357
42013f4c
FM
3358 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3359
3360 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3361 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3362 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3363 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3364
3365 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3366 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3367 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3368
3369 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3370 the window.
3371
3372 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3373 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3374 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3375 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3376
195be56d
FM
3377 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3378
3379 @code
3380 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3381 {
3382 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3383 {
3384 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3385 "Please confirm",
3386 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3387 {
3388 event.Veto();
3389 return;
3390 }
3391 }
3392
3393 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3394 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3395 }
3396 @endcode
3397
9fb99466
VZ
3398 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3399 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3400 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3401 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3402 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3403 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3404 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3405 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3406 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3407 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3408 will still kill your application).
