16 callback or member function.

18 wxEvent used to be a multipurpose event object, and is an abstract base class
19 for other event classes (see below).

266 Queue event for a later processing.
267
268 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
269 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
270 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
271 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
272 the next event loop iteration).
273
274 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
275 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
276 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
277 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
278 moment).
279
280 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
281 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
282 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
283 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
284 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
285 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
286 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
287 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
288 the scenes. For example
289 @code
290 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
291 {
36a2d2c4 292 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 293
36a2d2c4
RR
294 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
295 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
42013f4c 296
36a2d2c4 297 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );

42013f4c 300

316 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
317 events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
318 (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
319 wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the
320 original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function

494 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
495 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
496 framework (and application).
497
498 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
499 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
500 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
501
502 An instance where you might actually override the ProcessEvent function is where
503 you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by
504 wxWidgets. For example, in the document/view architecture, documents and views
505 are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, ProcessEvent will
506 need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler functions
507 are associated with these objects. The property classes library (wxProperty) also
508 overrides ProcessEvent for similar reasons.
509
510 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
511 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
512 the function skips to step (6).
513 -# If the object is a wxWindow, ProcessEvent() is recursively called on the
514 window's wxValidator. If this returns @true, the function exits.
515 -# SearchEventTable() is called for this event handler. If this fails, the base
516 class table is tried, and so on until no more tables exist or an appropriate
517 function was found, in which case the function exits.
518 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
519 chain has a length of one). If this succeeds, the function exits.
520 -# If the object is a wxWindow and the event is a wxCommandEvent, ProcessEvent()
521 is recursively applied to the parent window's event handler.
522 If this returns true, the function exits.
523 -# Finally, ProcessEvent() is called on the wxApp object.

7c913512 637
42013f4c
FM
638 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
639 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
640 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
641 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
642 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
643 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
644 one up event corresponding to each down one.
1f1d2182 645
42013f4c
FM
646 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
647 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
648 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
649 from the @ref page_keycodes.
650 The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
651 as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
652 zone, for example.
1f1d2182 653
42013f4c
FM
654 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
655 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
656 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
657 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
658 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
659 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
660 as well.
1f1d2182 661
42013f4c
FM
662 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
663 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
664 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
665 for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
666 can only be done properly by the system itself.
1f1d2182 667
42013f4c
FM
668 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
669 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
670 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
671 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1f1d2182 672
42013f4c
FM
673 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
674 running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
675 in any of the text controls shown in it.
1f1d2182 676
42013f4c
FM
677 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
678 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
1f1d2182 679
42013f4c
FM
680 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
681 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
682 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
683 This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
684 events to be a bit simpler.
1f1d2182 685
42013f4c
FM
686 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
687 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
688 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
689 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

42013f4c 1017 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1018
42013f4c
FM
1019 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1020 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1021 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1022 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
23324ae1 1023
42013f4c
FM
1024 @remarks
1025 Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
1026 wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
1027 refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1028 For example:
1029 @code
1030 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1031 {
1032 wxPaintDC dc(this);
23324ae1 1033
42013f4c
FM
1034 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1035 }
1036 @endcode
1037 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1038 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1039 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1040 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1041 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1042 @code
1043 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1044 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1045 {
1046 wxPaintDC dc(this);

23324ae1 1138
42013f4c
FM
1139 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1140 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1141
42013f4c
FM
1142 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1143 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1144 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1145 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1146
42013f4c
FM
1147 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1148 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1149 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1150
42013f4c
FM
1151 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1152 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1153 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1154 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1155 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1156 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1157
42013f4c
FM
1158 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1159 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1160 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1161
42013f4c
FM
1162 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1163 you can do one or both of the following:
1164 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1165 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1166 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1167 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1168 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1169 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1170 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1171
42013f4c
FM
1172 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1173 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1174 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1175
42013f4c
FM
1176 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1177 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1178 to be shown, and not in idle time.

1338 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
1339 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
1340 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 1341
42013f4c

1342 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,

23324ae1 1344
42013f4c
FM
1345 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
1346 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
1347 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
1348 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
1349 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
1350 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 1351

1352 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which

1390 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
1391 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 1392
42013f4c
FM
1393 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
1394 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
1395 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
1396 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
1397 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
1398 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
1399 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
1400 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
1401
1402 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
1403 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
1404 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
1405 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
1406 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
1407
1408 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
1409 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
1410 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
1411 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
1412
1413 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
1414 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when the event corresponds
1415 to the left mouse button click while the latter returns @true if the left
1416 mouse button is currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging
1417 the mouse you can use wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse
1418 button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
1419 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in wxWidgets
1420 whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent).
1421 The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as well.

1788 Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general drag and drop
1789 implementation documented in the @ref overview_dnd. It uses the older, Windows

2122 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just

2349 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
2350 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
2351 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
2352 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 2353

2354 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
2355 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
2356 handlers.
2357
2358 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
2359 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
2360 if the identifier is unrecognised.
2361
2362 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
2363 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
2364 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window

2438 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
2439 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 2440
42013f4c
FM
2441 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
2442 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
2443 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
2444 controls.

7c913512 2447
42013f4c
FM
2448 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
2449 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
2450 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 2451
42013f4c
FM
2452 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
2453 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
2454 event does not happen).
7c913512 2455
42013f4c
FM
2456 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
2457 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
2458 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
2459
2460 @remarks
2461 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
2462 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
2463 are processed using the same event handler.
2464

2556 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
2557 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
2558 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
2559 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
2560 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
2561
2562 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
2563 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
2564 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
2565 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
2566 if possible.
2567
2568 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
2569 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
2570 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
2571 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
2572 idle events.

42013f4c 2843 @class wxCloseEvent
7c913512 2844
42013f4c
FM
2845 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
2846
2847 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
2848 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
2849 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
2850 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
2851
2852 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
2853 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
2854 using wxWindow::Destroy.
2855
2856 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
2857 the window.
2858
2859 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
2860 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
2861 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
2862 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
2863
9fb99466
VZ
2864 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
2865 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
2866 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
2867 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
2868 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
2869 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
2870 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
2871 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
2872 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
2873 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
2874 will still kill your application).
