   3 This event class contains information about mouse events.
   4 See \helpref{wxWindow::OnMouseEvent}{wxwindowonmouseevent}.
   5
   6 {\bf NB: } Note that under Windows mouse enter and leave events are not natively supported
   7 by the system but are generated by wxWindows itself. This has several
   8 drawbacks: the LEAVE\_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
   9 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
  10 time.

 144
 145 \func{bool}{ButtonDClick}{\param{int}{ but = -1}}
 146
 147 If the argument is omitted, this returns TRUE if the event was a mouse
 148 double click event. Otherwise the argument specifies which double click event
 149 was generated (1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right buttons respectively).
 150
 151 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::ButtonDown}
 152
 153 \func{bool}{ButtonDown}{\param{int}{ but = -1}}
 154
 155 If the argument is omitted, this returns TRUE if the event was a mouse
 156 button down event. Otherwise the argument specifies which button-down event
 157 was generated (1, 2 or 3 for left, middle and right buttons respectively).
 158
 159 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::ButtonUp}
 160
 161 \func{bool}{ButtonUp}{\param{int}{ but = -1}}

 178
 179 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::Entering}\label{wxmouseevententering}
 180
 181 \func{bool}{Entering}{\void}
 182

 188
 189 \constfunc{wxPoint}{GetPosition}{\void}
 190
 191 \constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{long *}{x}, \param{long *}{y}}

 195 Returns the physical mouse position in pixels.
 196
 197 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition}\label{wxmouseeventgetlogicalposition}
 198
 199 \constfunc{wxPoint}{GetLogicalPosition}{\param{const wxDC\&}{ dc}}
 200
 201 Returns the logical mouse position in pixels (i.e. translated according to the
 202 translation set for the DC, which usually indicates that the window has been scrolled).
 203
 204 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetX}\label{wxmouseeventgetx}
 205
 206 \constfunc{long}{GetX}{\void}
 207

 215
 216 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::IsButton}
 217
 218 \constfunc{bool}{IsButton}{\void}
 219
 220 Returns TRUE if the event was a mouse button event (not necessarily a button down event -
 221 that may be tested using {\it ButtonDown}).
 222
 223 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::Leaving}\label{wxmouseeventleaving}
 224
 225 \constfunc{bool}{Leaving}{\void}
 226
 227 Returns TRUE if the mouse was leaving the window (MS Windows and Motif).

 234
 235 Returns TRUE if the event was a left double click.
 236
 237 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftDown}\label{wxmouseeventleftdown}
 238
 239 \constfunc{bool}{LeftDown}{\void}
 240
 241 Returns TRUE if the left mouse button changed to down.
 242
 243 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown}
 244
 245 \constfunc{bool}{LeftIsDown}{\void}
 246
 247 Returns TRUE if the left mouse button is currently down, independent
 248 of the current event type.
 249
 250 Please notice that it is {\bf not} the same as
 251 \helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} which returns TRUE if the left mouse
 252 button was just pressed. Rather, it describes the state of the mouse button
 253 before the event happened.
 254
 255 This event is usually used in the mouse event handlers which process "move
 256 mouse" messages to determine whether the user is (still) dragging the mouse.
 257

 259
 260 \constfunc{bool}{LeftUp}{\void}
 261
 262 Returns TRUE if the left mouse button changed to up.
 263
 264 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::MetaDown}
 265
 266 \constfunc{bool}{MetaDown}{\void}
 267
 268 Returns TRUE if the Meta key was down at the time of the event.

 281
 282 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::MiddleIsDown}
 283
 284 \constfunc{bool}{MiddleIsDown}{\void}
 285
 286 Returns TRUE if the middle mouse button is currently down, independent
 287 of the current event type.
 288
 289 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::MiddleUp}
 290
 291 \constfunc{bool}{MiddleUp}{\void}
 292
 293 Returns TRUE if the middle mouse button changed to up.
 294
 295 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::Moving}
 296
 297 \constfunc{bool}{Moving}{\void}
 298
 299 Returns TRUE if this was a motion event (no buttons depressed).
 300
 301 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::RightDClick}
 302
 303 \constfunc{bool}{RightDClick}{\void}
 304
 305 Returns TRUE if the event was a right double click.
 306

 321
 322 \constfunc{bool}{RightUp}{\void}
 323
 324 Returns TRUE if the right mouse button changed to up.
 325
 326 \membersection{wxMouseEvent::ShiftDown}
 327
 328 \constfunc{bool}{ShiftDown}{\void}
 329
 330 Returns TRUE if the shift key was down at the time of the event.
