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 1237 @class wxKeyEvent
7c913512 1238
0d2f3b9d 1239 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
7c913512 1240
7333c0ef
VZ
1241 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1242 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1243 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1244 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1245 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1246 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1247 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1248 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1249 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1250 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1251 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1252 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1253 to a non-printable special keys.
1254
1255 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1256 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1257 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1258 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1259 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1260 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1261 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1262 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1263 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1264 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1265 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1266 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1267 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1268
1269 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1270 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1271 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1272 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1273 codes are defined as follows:
1274 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1275 letter.
1276 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1277 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1278 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1279 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1280 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1281 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1282 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1283
1284 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1285 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1286 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1287 WXK_NONE in this case.
1288
1289 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1290 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1291 independent of the current keyboard state.
1292
1293 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1294 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1295 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1296 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1297 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1298 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1299 enter on their keyboard.
1300
1301
1302 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1303 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1304 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1305 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1306 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1307 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1308 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1309 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1310 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1311 to 31.
09bdb1cb
VZ
1312 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1313 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
7333c0ef
VZ
1314
1315 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1316 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1317 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
0d2f3b9d 1318
d0fb62a6
VZ
1319 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1320 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1321 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1322 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1323 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1324 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1325 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1326 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1327 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1328 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1329 return false.
1330
1331
1332 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1333 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1334 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1f1d2182 1335
42013f4c
FM
1336 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1337 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
d0fb62a6
VZ
1338 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1339 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1340 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1341 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1342 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1343 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1f1d2182 1344
5effc1cf
VZ
1345 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1346 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1347 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1348 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1349
42013f4c
FM
1350 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1351 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1352 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
0d2f3b9d
VZ
1353 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1354 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1355 char events too.

VZ
1368 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1369 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1370 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1371 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1372 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1373 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1374 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1375 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
4cf1a9bf
VZ
1376 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1377 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1378 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1379 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1380 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1381 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1382 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1383 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1384 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1385 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1386 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1387 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1388 with their processing.

42013f4c 1812 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1813
7ca106e8
VZ
1814 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1815 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1816 @code
1817 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1818 {
1819 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1821 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1822 }
1823 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1824
1825 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1826 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1827 of this event handlers.
1828
1829
42013f4c
FM
1830 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1831 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1832 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1833 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1834 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1835 @code
1836 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1837 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1838 {
1839 wxPaintDC dc(this);

42013f4c

1845 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels

1848 while (upd)
1849 {

1851 vY = upd.GetY();
1852 vW = upd.GetW();
1853 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1854

1866 @remarks
1867 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a

1940 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1941
42013f4c
FM
1942 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1943 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1944
42013f4c
FM
1945 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1946 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1947 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1948 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1949
42013f4c
FM
1950 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1951 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1952 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1953
42013f4c
FM
1954 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1955 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1956 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1957 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1958 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1959 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1960
42013f4c
FM
1961 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1962 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1963 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1964
42013f4c
FM
1965 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1966 you can do one or both of the following:
1967 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1968 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1969 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1970 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1971 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1972 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1973 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1974
42013f4c
FM
1975 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1976 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1977 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1978
42013f4c
FM
1979 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1980 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1981 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2141 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2142 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2143 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2144
3a194bda
SL
2145 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2146 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 2147
42013f4c
FM
2148 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2149 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2150 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2151 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2152 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2153 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2154
42013f4c

2155 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2156 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2157 text was copied or cut.

7c913512 2192
42013f4c
FM
2193 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2194 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2195
42013f4c
FM
2196 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2197 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2198 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2199 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2200 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2201 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2202 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2203 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2204
2205 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2206 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2207 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2208 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2209 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2210
92dbce73
VZ
2211 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2212 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2213 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2214 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2215 another window.
2216
42013f4c
FM
2217 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2218 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2219 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2220 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2221
2222 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2223 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2224 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2225 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2226 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2227 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2228 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2229 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2230 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2231 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2232 buttons as well.

FM
3231 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3232 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3233 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3234 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 3235
42013f4c
FM
3236 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3237 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3238 handlers.
3239
3240 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3241 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3242 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3243
3244 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3245 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3246 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
3247 found.

3320 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3321 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3322
42013f4c
FM
3323 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3324 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3325 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3326 controls.

7c913512 3329
42013f4c
FM
3330 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3331 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3332 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3333
42013f4c
FM
3334 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3335 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3336 event does not happen).
7c913512 3337
42013f4c
FM
3338 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3339 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3340 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3341
3342 @remarks
3343 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3344 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3345 are processed using the same event handler.
3346
3347 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3348 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3349 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
3350 intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this, the

3442 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3443 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3444 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3445 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3446 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3447
3448 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3449 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3450 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3451 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3452 if possible.
3453
3454 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3455 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3456 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3457 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3458 idle events.

3555 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3556 process.
3557
3558 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3559 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3560 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3561 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3562 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.

a79a6671
VZ
3564 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3565 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3566 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3567 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).

42013f4c 3722 @class wxCloseEvent
7c913512 3723
42013f4c
FM
3724 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3725
3726 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3727 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3728 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3729 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3730
3731 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3732 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3733 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3734
3735 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3736 the window.
3737
3738 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3739 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3740 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3741 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3742
195be56d
FM
3743 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3744
3745 @code
3746 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3747 {
3748 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3749 {
3750 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3751 "Please confirm",
3752 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3753 {
3754 event.Veto();
3755 return;
3756 }
3757 }
3758
3759 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3760 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3761 }
3762 @endcode
3763
9fb99466
VZ
3764 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3765 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3766 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3767 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3768 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3769 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3770 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3771 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3772 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3773 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3774 will still kill your application).
