100 knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of

383 /**
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
406 the scenes. For example:
407 @code
408 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
409 {
410 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
411
412 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
413 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
414
415 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
416 }
417 @endcode
418
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
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
452 original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function
453 share the same string buffer internally. Use QueueEvent() to avoid
454 this.
455
456 A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted
457 as soon as function returns (it is common that the original is created
458 on the stack). This requires that the wxEvent::Clone() method be

470
471 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
472 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
473 framework (and application).
474
475 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
476 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
477 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
478
479 Notice that you don't usually need to override ProcessEvent() to
480 customize the event handling, overriding the specially provided
481 TryBefore() and TryAfter() functions is usually enough. For example,
482 wxMDIParentFrame may override TryBefore() to ensure that the menu
483 events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
484 in the parent frame itself.
485
486 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
487 -# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
488 (default) the processing stops here.
489 -# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
490 account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
491 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
492 the function skips to step (7).
493 -# Dynamic event table of the handlers bound using Bind<>() is
494 searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
495 returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
496 that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
497 -# Static events table of the handlers bound using event table
498 macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
499 class event table is tried, and so on until no more tables
500 exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
501 the same logic as in the previous step applies.
502 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
503 chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
504 @image html overview_events_chain.png
505 (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
506 the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
507 Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
508 (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
509 If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
510 -# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the
511 event to the window parent (recursively). If the event is still not
512 processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last

644 is impossible to do directly with the event tables -- the events can be
645 only handled in another object if they are propagated upwards to it).
646 Do make sure to specify the correct @a eventSink when connecting to an
647 event of a different object.
648
649 See @ref overview_events_bind for more detailed explanation
650 of this function and the @ref page_samples_event sample for usage
651 examples.
652
653 This specific overload allows you to connect an event handler to a @e range
654 of @e source IDs.
655 Do not confuse @e source IDs with event @e types: source IDs identify the
656 event generator objects (typically wxMenuItem or wxWindow objects) while the
657 event @e type identify which type of events should be handled by the
658 given @e function (an event generator object may generate many different
659 types of events!).
660
661 @param id
662 The first ID of the identifier range to be associated with the event
663 handler function.
664 @param lastId
665 The last ID of the identifier range to be associated with the event
666 handler function.
667 @param eventType
668 The event type to be associated with this event handler.
669 @param function
670 The event handler function. Note that this function should
671 be explicitly converted to the correct type which can be done using a macro
672 called @c wxFooEventHandler for the handler for any @c wxFooEvent.
673 @param userData
674 Data to be associated with the event table entry.
675 @param eventSink
676 Object whose member function should be called. It must be specified
677 when connecting an event generated by one object to a member
678 function of a different object. If it is omitted, @c this is used.
679

1237 @class wxKeyEvent
1238
1239 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
1240
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.
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.
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.
1318
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.
1335
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
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.
1344
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
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
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.
1356
1357
1358 @beginEventTable{wxKeyEvent}
1359 @event{EVT_KEY_DOWN(func)}
1360 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this
1361 event is handled and not skipped, @c wxEVT_CHAR will not be generated
1362 at all for this key press (but @c wxEVT_KEY_UP will be).
1363 @event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
1364 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
1365 @event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
1366 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
1367 @event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
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
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.

1833 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
1834
1835 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1836 painting the window contents. For example:
1837 @code
1838 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1839 {
1840 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1841
1842 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1843 }
1844 @endcode
1845
1846 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1847 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1848 of this event handlers.
1849
1850
1851 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1852 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1853 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1854 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1855 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1856 @code
1857 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1858 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1859 {
1860 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1861
1862 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
1863 int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
1864 GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
1865
1866 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1867 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
1868
1869 while (upd)
1870 {
1871 vX = upd.GetX();
1872 vY = upd.GetY();
1873 vW = upd.GetW();
1874 vH = upd.GetH();
1875
1876 // Alternatively we can do this:
1877 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());
1878
1879 // Repaint this rectangle
1880 ...some code...
1881
1882 upd ++ ;
1883 }
1884 }
1885 @endcode
1886
1887 @remarks
1888 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1889 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1890 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1891 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.

1961 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
1962
1963 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1964 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
1965
1966 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1967 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1968 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1969 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
1970
1971 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1972 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1973 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
1974
1975 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1976 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1977 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1978 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1979 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1980 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
1981
1982 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1983 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1984 owns the menu.
1985
1986 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1987 you can do one or both of the following:
1988 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1989 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1990 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1991 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1992 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1993 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1994 delay before windows are updated.
1995
1996 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1997 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1998 which is always called in idle time.
1999
2000 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
2001 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
2002 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2162 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2163 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2164 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
2165
2166 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2167 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
2168
2169 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2170 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2171 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2172 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2173 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2174 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
2175
2176 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2177 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2178 text was copied or cut.
2179

2212 @class wxMouseEvent
2213
2214 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2215 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
2216
2217 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2218 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2219 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2220 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2221 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2222 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2223 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2224 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2225
2226 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2227 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2228 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2229 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2230 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2231
2232 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2233 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2234 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2235 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2236 another window.
2237
2238 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2239 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2240 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2241 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2242
2243 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
2244 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2245 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2246 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2247 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2248 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2249 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2250 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2251 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2252 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse

2615 @event{EVT_COMMAND(id, event, func)}
2616 Process a command, supplying the window identifier, command event identifier,
2617 and member function.
2618 @event{EVT_COMMAND_RANGE(id1, id2, event, func)}
2619 Process a command for a range of window identifiers, supplying the minimum and
2620 maximum window identifiers, command event identifier, and member function.
2621 @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}
2622 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED command, which is generated by a wxButton control.

2648 control. This is provided for compatibility only; more specific scrollbar event macros
2649 should be used instead (see wxScrollEvent).
2650 @event{EVT_SLIDER(id, func)}
2651 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_SLIDER_UPDATED command, which is generated by a wxSlider control.

3254 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3255 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
3256
3257 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3258 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3259 handlers.
3260

3262 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3263 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3264
3265 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3266 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to

3349 @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
3350
3351 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3352 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3353 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
3354
3355 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3356 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3357 event does not happen).
3358
3359 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3360 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3361 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3362
3363 @remarks
3364 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3365 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3366 are processed using the same event handler.
3367

3574 @class wxWindowDestroyEvent
3575
3576 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3577 process.
3578
3579 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3580 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3581 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3582 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3583 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
3584
3585 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3586 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3587 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3588 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3589
3590 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca
3591 be very useful to receive notifications about the window destruction in the
3592 parent window or in any other object interested in this window.

3742 /**
3743 @class wxCloseEvent
3744
3745 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3746
3747 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3748 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3749 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3750 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3751
3752 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3753 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3754 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3755
3756 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3757 the window.
3758
3759 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3760 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3761 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3762 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3763
3764 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3765
3766 @code
3767 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3768 {
3769 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3770 {
3771 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3772 "Please confirm",
3773 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3774 {
3775 event.Veto();
3776 return;
3777 }
3778 }
3779
3780 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3781 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3782 }
3783 @endcode
3784
3785 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3786 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3787 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3788 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3789 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3790 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3791 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3792 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3793 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3794 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3795 will still kill your application).
