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

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.

1827 @class wxPaintEvent

42013f4c 1829 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
23324ae1 1830
7ca106e8
VZ
1831 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1832 painting the window contents. For example:
42013f4c
FM
1833 @code
1834 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1835 {
1836 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1838 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1839 }
1840 @endcode
7ca106e8
VZ
1841
1842 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1843 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1844 of this event handlers.
1845
1846
42013f4c
FM
1847 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1848 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1849 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1850 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1851 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1852 @code
1853 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1854 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1855 {
1856 wxPaintDC dc(this);

1862 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1863 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list

42013f4c

1865 while (upd)
1866 {

1868 vY = upd.GetY();
1869 vW = upd.GetW();
1870 vH = upd.GetH();
23324ae1 1871

1884 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a

1957 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
23324ae1 1958
42013f4c
FM
1959 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1960 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
23324ae1 1961
42013f4c
FM
1962 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1963 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1964 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1965 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
3c4f71cc 1966
42013f4c
FM
1967 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1968 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1969 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
23324ae1 1970
42013f4c
FM
1971 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1972 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1973 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1974 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1975 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1976 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
23324ae1 1977
42013f4c
FM
1978 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1979 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1980 owns the menu.
23324ae1 1981
42013f4c
FM
1982 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1983 you can do one or both of the following:
1984 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1985 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1986 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1987 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1988 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1989 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1990 delay before windows are updated.
3c4f71cc 1991
42013f4c
FM
1992 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1993 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1994 which is always called in idle time.
23324ae1 1995
42013f4c
FM
1996 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1997 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1998 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2158 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2159 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2160 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
23324ae1 2161
3a194bda

2162 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2163 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
23324ae1 2164
42013f4c
FM
2165 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2166 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2167 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2168 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2169 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2170 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
23324ae1 2171
42013f4c

2172 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which

7c913512 2209
42013f4c
FM
2210 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2211 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
7c913512 2212
42013f4c
FM
2213 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2214 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2215 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2216 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2217 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2218 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2219 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2220 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2221
2222 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2223 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2224 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2225 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2226 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2227
92dbce73
VZ
2228 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2229 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2230 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2231 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2232 another window.
2233
42013f4c
FM
2234 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2235 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2236 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2237 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2238
2239 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
ab826fd8
VZ
2240 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2241 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2242 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2243 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2244 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2245 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2246 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2247 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2248 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2249 buttons as well.

42013f4c
FM
3248 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3249 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3250 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3251 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
7c913512 3252
42013f4c
FM
3253 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3254 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3255 handlers.
3256
3257 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3258 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3259 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3260
3261 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3262 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3263 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window
3264 found.

3337 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3338 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
7c913512 3339
42013f4c
FM
3340 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3341 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3342 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3343 controls.

7c913512 3346
42013f4c
FM
3347 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3348 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3349 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
7c913512 3350
42013f4c
FM
3351 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3352 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3353 event does not happen).
7c913512 3354
42013f4c
FM
3355 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3356 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3357 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3358
3359 @remarks
3360 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3361 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3362 are processed using the same event handler.
3363
3364 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3365 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3366 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for
3367 intercepting scroll events from the receiving window -- except for this, the
3368 macros behave exactly the same.

3459 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3460 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3461 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3462 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3463 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3464
3465 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3466 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3467 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3468 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3469 if possible.
3470
3471 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
3472 If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
3473 wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
3474 wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
3475 idle events.

3575 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by

7c913512 3740
42013f4c
FM
3741 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3742
3743 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3744 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3745 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3746 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3747
3748 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3749 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3750 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3751
3752 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3753 the window.
3754
3755 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3756 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3757 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3758 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3759
195be56d
FM
3760 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3761
3762 @code
3763 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3764 {
3765 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3766 {
3767 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3768 "Please confirm",
3769 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3770 {
3771 event.Veto();
3772 return;
3773 }
3774 }
3775
3776 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3777 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3778 }
3779 @endcode
3780
9fb99466
VZ
3781 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3782 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3783 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3784 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3785 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3786 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3787 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3788 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3789 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3790 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3791 will still kill your application).
