3This event class contains information about window and session close events.
4
5The handler function for EVT\_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a a frame
6or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It is
7called via the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function, so
8that the application can also invoke the handler programmatically.
9
10You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
11using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto}. If this is {\tt FALSE},
12you {\it must} destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
13If the return value is TRUE, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window.
14
15If you don't destroy the window, you should call \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto} to
16let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function
17to return {\tt TRUE} or {\tt FALSE} depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

30functions that take a wxCloseEvent argument.

54\func{}{wxCloseEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ commandEventType = 0}, \param{int}{ id = 0}}
55
56Constructor.
57
58\membersection{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}\label{wxcloseeventcanveto}
59
60\func{bool}{CanVeto}{\void}
61
62Returns TRUE if you can veto a system shutdown or a window close event.
63Vetoing a window close event is not possible if the calling code wishes to
64force the application to exit, and so this function must be called to check this.
65
66\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetLoggingOff}\label{wxcloseeventgetloggingoff}
67
68\constfunc{bool}{GetLoggingOff}{\void}
69
70Returns TRUE if the user is logging off.
71
72\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetSessionEnding}\label{wxcloseeventgetsessionending}
73
74\constfunc{bool}{GetSessionEnding}{\void}
75
76Returns TRUE if the session is ending.
77
78\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}\label{wxcloseeventgetforce}
79
80\constfunc{bool}{GetForce}{\void}
81
82Returns TRUE if the application wishes to force the window to close.
83This will shortly be obsolete, replaced by CanVeto.
84
85\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetCanVeto}\label{wxcloseeventsetcanveto}
86
87\func{void}{SetCanVeto}{\param{bool}{ canVeto}}
88
89Sets the 'can veto' flag.
90
91\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetForce}\label{wxcloseeventsetforce}
92
93\constfunc{void}{SetForce}{\param{bool}{ force}}
94
95Sets the 'force' flag.
96
97\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetLoggingOff}\label{wxcloseeventsetloggingoff}
98
99\constfunc{void}{SetLoggingOff}{\param{bool}{ loggingOff}}
100
101Sets the 'logging off' flag.
102
103\membersection{wxCloseEvent::Veto}\label{wxcloseeventveto}
104
105\func{void}{Veto}{\param{bool}{ veto = TRUE}}
106
107Call this from your event handler to veto a system shutdown or to signal
108to the calling application that a window close did not happen.
109
110You can only veto a shutdown if \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto} returns
111TRUE.
