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.

384 Queue event for a later processing.
385
386 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
387 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
388 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
389 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
390 the next event loop iteration).
391
392 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
393 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
394 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
395 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
396 moment).
397
398 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
399 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
400 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
401 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
402 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
403 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
404 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
405 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
22d17afa 406 the scenes. For example:
c3f94162
VZ
407 @code
408 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
409 {
36a2d2c4 410 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
42013f4c 411
36a2d2c4
RR
412 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
413 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
42013f4c 414
36a2d2c4 415 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
c3f94162
VZ
416 }
417 @endcode
42013f4c 418
22d17afa
FM
419 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
420 to avoid this problem:
421 @code
422 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
423 {
424 wxThreadEvent evt;
425 evt->SetString(str);
426
427 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
428 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
429 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
430 }
431 @endcode
432
c3f94162
VZ
433 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
434 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
435 to do it manually when using it.

447
448 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
449 events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
450 (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
451 wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the

42013f4c 1218 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1219
0d2f3b9d 1220 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
7c913512 1221
7333c0ef
VZ
1222 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1223 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1224 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1225 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1226 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1227 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1228 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1229 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1230 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1231 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1232 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1233 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1234 to a non-printable special keys.
1235
1236 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1237 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1238 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1239 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1240 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1241 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1242 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1243 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1244 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1245 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1246 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1247 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1248 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1249
1250 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1251 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1252 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1253 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1254 codes are defined as follows:
1255 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1256 letter.
1257 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1258 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1259 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1260 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1261 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1262 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1263 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1264
1265 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1266 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1267 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1268 WXK_NONE in this case.
1269
1270 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1271 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1272 independent of the current keyboard state.
1273
1274 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1275 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1276 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1277 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1278 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1279 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1280 enter on their keyboard.
1281
1282
1283 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1284 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1285 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1286 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1287 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1288 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1289 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1290 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1291 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1292 to 31.
09bdb1cb
VZ
1293 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1294 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
7333c0ef
VZ
1295
1296 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1297 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1298 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
0d2f3b9d 1299
d0fb62a6
VZ
1300 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1301 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1302 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1303 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1304 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1305 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1306 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1307 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1308 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1309 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1310 return false.
1311
1312
1313 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1314 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1315 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.

42013f4c
FM
1317 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1318 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
d0fb62a6
VZ
1319 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1320 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1321 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1322 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1323 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1324 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1f1d2182 1325
5effc1cf
VZ
1326 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1327 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1328 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1329 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1330
42013f4c
FM
1331 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1332 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1333 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1334 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1335 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1336 char events too.

VZ
1349 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1350 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1351 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1352 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1353 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1354 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1355 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1356 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
4cf1a9bf
VZ
1357 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1358 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1359 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1360 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1361 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1362 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1363 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1364 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1365 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1366 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1367 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1368 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1369 with their processing.

1830 @class wxPaintEvent

42013f4c 1832 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1833
7ca106e8
VZ
1834 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1835 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1836 @code
1837 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1838 {
1839 wxPaintDC dc(this);

FM
1841 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1842 }
1843 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1844
1845 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1846 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1847 of this event handlers.
1848
1849
42013f4c
FM
1850 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1851 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1852 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1853 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1854 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1855 @code
1856 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1857 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1858 {
1859 wxPaintDC dc(this);

42013f4c

1865 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1866 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list

42013f4c

1868 while (upd)
1869 {
1870 vX = upd.GetX();
1871 vY = upd.GetY();
1872 vW = upd.GetW();
1873 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1874

1887 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a

23324ae1 1961
42013f4c
FM
1962 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1963 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1964
42013f4c
FM
1965 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1966 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1967 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1968 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1969
42013f4c
FM
1970 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1971 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1972 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1973
42013f4c
FM
1974 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1975 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1976 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1977 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1978 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1979 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1980
42013f4c
FM
1981 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1982 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1983 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1984
42013f4c
FM
1985 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1986 you can do one or both of the following:
1987 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1988 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1989 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1990 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1991 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1992 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1993 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1994
42013f4c
FM
1995 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1996 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1997 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1998
42013f4c
FM
1999 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
2000 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
2001 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2161 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2162 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2163 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2164

2165 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,

23324ae1 2167
42013f4c

2168 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2169 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2170 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2171 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2172 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2173 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2174

2175 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which

2223 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2224 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2225
42013f4c
FM
2226 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2227 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2228 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2229 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2230 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2231 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2232 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2233 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2234
2235 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2236 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2237 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2238 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2239 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2240
92dbce73
VZ
2241 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2242 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2243 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2244 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2245 another window.
2246
42013f4c
FM
2247 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2248 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2249 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2250 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2251
2252 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2253 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2254 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2255 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2256 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2257 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2258 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2259 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2260 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2261 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2262 buttons as well.

2866 @c EVT_RIGHT_UP event and only if it was not handled but under GTK the
2867 context menu event is generated after @c EVT_RIGHT_DOWN event. This is
2868 correct in the sense that it ensures that the context menu is shown
2869 according to the current platform UI conventions and also means that you
2870 must not handle (or call wxEvent::Skip() in your handler if you do have

2961 A focus event is sent when a window's focus changes. The window losing focus
2962 receives a "kill focus" event while the window gaining it gets a "set focus" one.

2967
9a25f336

2968 The focus event handlers should almost invariably call wxEvent::Skip() on
2969 their event argument to allow the default handling to take place. Failure
2970 to do this may result in incorrect behaviour of the native controls. Also
2971 note that wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS handler must not call wxWindow::SetFocus() as
2972 this, again, is not supported by all native controls. If you need to do
2973 this, consider using the @ref sec_delayed_action described in wxIdleEvent

3277 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3278 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3279 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3280 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 3281
42013f4c
FM
3282 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3283 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3284 handlers.
3285
3286 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3287 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3288 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3289
3290 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3291 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3292 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
3293 found.

3366 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3367 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3368
42013f4c
FM
3369 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3370 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3371 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3372 controls.

7c913512 3375
42013f4c
FM
3376 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3377 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3378 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3379
42013f4c
FM
3380 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3381 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3382 event does not happen).
7c913512 3383
42013f4c
FM
3384 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3385 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3386 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3387
3388 @remarks
3389 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3390 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3391 are processed using the same event handler.
3392
3393 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3394 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3395 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for

7c913512 3487
42013f4c

3488 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3489 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3490 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3491 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3492 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3493
3494 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3495 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3496 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3497 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3498 if possible.
3499
06bfd045
VZ
3500 By default, idle events are sent to all windows, including even the hidden
3501 ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
3502 wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
3503 windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
3504 in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
3505 receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
3506 processing.
3507
3508 If sending idle events to all windows is causing a significant overhead in
3509 your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value
3510 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
3511 style for every window which should receive idle events, all the other ones
3512 will not receive them in this case.

3522 @section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
3523
3524 wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
3525 This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
3526 something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
3527 mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
3528 be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
3529 again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
3530 want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
3531 called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
3532
3533 This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
3534 you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
3535 handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
3536 called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
3537 and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
3538 same action again.
3539
3540 Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
3541 original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
3542 wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
3543 then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.

3633 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3634 process.
3635
3636 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3637 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3638 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3639 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3640 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
23324ae1 3641
a79a6671
VZ
3642 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3643 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3644 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3645 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3c4f71cc 3646

3647 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca

7c913512 3801
42013f4c
FM
3802 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3803
3804 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3805 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3806 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3807 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3808
3809 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3810 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3811 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3812
3813 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3814 the window.
3815
3816 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3817 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3818 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3819 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3820
195be56d
FM
3821 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3822
3823 @code
3824 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3825 {
3826 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3827 {
3828 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3829 "Please confirm",
3830 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3831 {
3832 event.Veto();
3833 return;
3834 }
3835 }
3836
3837 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3838 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3839 }
3840 @endcode
3841
9fb99466
VZ
3842 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3843 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3844 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3845 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3846 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3847 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3848 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3849 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3850 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3851 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3852 will still kill your application).
