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

42013f4c

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.
49
50 @param id
51 The identifier of the object (window, timer, ...) which generated
52 this event.
53 @param eventType
54 The unique type of event, e.g. wxEVT_PAINT, wxEVT_SIZE or
55 wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.

288 Queue event for a later processing.
289
290 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
291 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
292 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
293 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
294 the next event loop iteration).
295
296 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
297 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
298 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
299 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
300 moment).
301
302 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
303 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
304 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
305 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
306 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
307 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
308 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
309 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
310 the scenes. For example
311 @code
312 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
313 {
36a2d2c4 314 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 315
36a2d2c4
RR
316 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
317 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy

516 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
517 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
518 framework (and application).
519
520 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
521 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
522 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
523
6496345c 524 An instance where you might actually override the ProcessEvent() function is where
42013f4c
FM
525 you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by
526 wxWidgets. For example, in the document/view architecture, documents and views
6496345c 527 are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, ProcessEvent() will
42013f4c
FM
528 need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler functions
529 are associated with these objects. The property classes library (wxProperty) also
6496345c 530 overrides ProcessEvent() for similar reasons.
42013f4c
FM
531
532 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
533 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
534 the function skips to step (6).
535 -# If the object is a wxWindow, ProcessEvent() is recursively called on the
536 window's wxValidator. If this returns @true, the function exits.
537 -# SearchEventTable() is called for this event handler. If this fails, the base
538 class table is tried, and so on until no more tables exist or an appropriate
539 function was found, in which case the function exits.
540 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
541 chain has a length of one). If this succeeds, the function exits.
542 -# If the object is a wxWindow and the event is a wxCommandEvent, ProcessEvent()
543 is recursively applied to the parent window's event handler.
544 If this returns true, the function exits.
545 -# Finally, ProcessEvent() is called on the wxApp object.

42013f4c 657 @class wxKeyEvent

42013f4c 659 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
7c913512 660
42013f4c
FM
661 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
662 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
663 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
664 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
665 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
666 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
667 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 668
42013f4c
FM
669 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
670 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
671 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
672 from the @ref page_keycodes.
673 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
674 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
675 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 676
42013f4c
FM
677 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
678 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
679 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
680 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
681 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
682 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
683 as well.
1f1d2182 684
42013f4c
FM
685 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
686 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
687 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
688 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
689 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 690
42013f4c
FM
691 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
692 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
693 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
694 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 695
42013f4c
FM
696 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
697 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
698 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 699
42013f4c
FM
700 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
701 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 702
42013f4c
FM
703 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
704 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
705 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
706 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
707 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 708
42013f4c
FM
709 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
710 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
711 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
712 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

23324ae1 1041
42013f4c
FM
1042 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1043 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1044 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1045 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1046
42013f4c
FM
1047 @remarks
1048 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1049 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1050 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1051 For example:
1052 @code
1053 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1054 {
1055 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1056
42013f4c
FM
1057 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1058 }
1059 @endcode
1060 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1061 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1062 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1063 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1064 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1065 @code
1066 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1067 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1068 {
1069 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1160 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1161
42013f4c
FM
1162 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1163 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1164
42013f4c
FM
1165 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1166 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1167 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1168 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1169
42013f4c
FM
1170 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1171 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1172 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1173
42013f4c
FM
1174 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1175 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1176 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1177 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1178 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1179 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1180
42013f4c
FM
1181 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1182 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1183 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1184
42013f4c
FM
1185 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1186 you can do one or both of the following:
1187 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1188 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1189 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1190 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1191 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1192 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1193 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1194
42013f4c
FM
1195 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1196 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1197 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1198
42013f4c
FM
1199 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1200 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1201 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1363 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 1364
42013f4c
FM
1365 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
1366 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 1367
42013f4c
FM
1368 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1369 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1370 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
1371 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
1372 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
1373 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 1374
42013f4c
FM
1375 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
1376 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
1377 text was copied or cut.

42013f4c 1411 @class wxMouseEvent
7c913512 1412
42013f4c
FM
1413 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1414 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1415
42013f4c
FM
1416 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1417 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1418 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1419 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1420 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1421 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1422 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1423 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1424
1425 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1426 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1427 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1428 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1429 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1430
92dbce73
VZ
1431 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
1432 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
1433 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
1434 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
1435 another window.
1436
42013f4c
FM
1437 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1438 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1439 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1440 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1441
1442 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
1443 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when the event corresponds
1444 to the left mouse button click while the latter returns @true if the left
1445 mouse button is currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging
1446 the mouse you can use wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse
1447 button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1448 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in wxWidgets
1449 whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent).
1450 The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as well.

2386 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2387 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2388 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2389 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.

2391 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2392 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2393 handlers.
2394
2395 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2396 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2397 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2398
2399 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2400 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2401 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window

2475 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
2476 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 2477
42013f4c
FM
2478 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2479 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2480 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2481 controls.

7c913512 2484
42013f4c
FM
2485 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2486 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2487 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2488
42013f4c
FM
2489 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2490 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2491 event does not happen).
7c913512 2492
42013f4c
FM
2493 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2494 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2495 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2496
2497 @remarks
2498 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2499 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2500 are processed using the same event handler.
2501

42013f4c

2593 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
2594 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
2595 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
2596 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
2597 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
2598
2599 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
2600 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
2601 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
2602 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
2603 if possible.
2604
2605 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
2606 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
2607 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
2608 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
2609 idle events.

7c913512 2881
42013f4c
FM
2882 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
2883
2884 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
2885 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
2886 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
2887 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
2888
2889 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
2890 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
2891 using wxWindow::Destroy.
2892
2893 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
2894 the window.
2895
2896 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
2897 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
2898 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
2899 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
2900
195be56d
FM
2901 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
2902
2903 @code
2904 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
2905 {
2906 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
2907 {
2908 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
2909 "Please confirm",
2910 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
2911 {
2912 event.Veto();
2913 return;
2914 }
2915 }
2916
2917 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
2918 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
2919 }
2920 @endcode

VZ
2922 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
2923 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
2924 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
2925 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
2926 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
2927 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
2928 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
2929 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
2930 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
2931 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
2932 will still kill your application).
