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.

448 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post

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

455
456 A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted

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. If the event is
1377 handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(), neither @c
1378 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated (although @c
1379 wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be). Notice that this event is not generated
1380 when the mouse is captured as it is considered that the window which
1381 has the capture should receive all the keyboard events too without
1382 allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere with their processing.

1777
1778 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
1779
1780 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1781 painting the window contents. For example:
1782 @code
1783 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1784 {
1785 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1786
1787 DrawMyDocument(dc);

1791 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1792 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1793 of this event handlers.
1794
1795
1796 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1797 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1798 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1799 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1800 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1801 @code
1802 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1803 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1804 {
1805 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1806
1807 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
1808 int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
1809 GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
1810
1811 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1812 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
1813
1814 while (upd)
1815 {

1823
1824 // Repaint this rectangle

1906 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
1907
1908 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1909 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
1910
1911 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1912 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1913 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1914 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
1915
1916 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1917 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1918 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
1919
1920 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1921 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1922 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1923 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1924 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1925 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
1926
1927 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1928 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1929 owns the menu.
1930
1931 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1932 you can do one or both of the following:
1933 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1934 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1935 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1936 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1937 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1938 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1939 delay before windows are updated.
1940
1941 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1942 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1943 which is always called in idle time.
1944
1945 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1946 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1947 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2107 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2108 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2109 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
2110
2111 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2112 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
2113
2114 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2115 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2116 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2117 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2118 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2119 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
2120
2121 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2122 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2123 text was copied or cut.
2124
2125 @note

2157 @class wxMouseEvent
2158
2159 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2160 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
2161
2162 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2163 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2164 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2165 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2166 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2167 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2168 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2169 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2170
2171 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2172 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2173 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2174 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2175 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2176
2177 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2178 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2179 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2180 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2181 another window.
2182
2183 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2184 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2185 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2186 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2187
2188 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
2189 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2190 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2191 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2192 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2193 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2194 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2195 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2196 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2197 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2198 buttons as well.

2558
2559 @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
2560 @event{EVT_COMMAND(id, event, func)}
2561 Process a command, supplying the window identifier, command event identifier,
2562 and member function.
2563 @event{EVT_COMMAND_RANGE(id1, id2, event, func)}
2564 Process a command for a range of window identifiers, supplying the minimum and
2565 maximum window identifiers, command event identifier, and member function.
2566 @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}
2567 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED command, which is generated by a wxButton control.
2568 @event{EVT_CHECKBOX(id, func)}
2569 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_CHECKBOX_CLICKED command, which is generated by a wxCheckBox control.
2570 @event{EVT_CHOICE(id, func)}

2593 control. This is provided for compatibility only; more specific scrollbar event macros
2594 should be used instead (see wxScrollEvent).
2595 @event{EVT_SLIDER(id, func)}
2596 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_SLIDER_UPDATED command, which is generated by a wxSlider control.
2597 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}

3201

3209

3294 @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
3295
3296 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3297 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3298 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
3299
3300 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3301 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3302 event does not happen).
3303
3304 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3305 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3306 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3307
3308 @remarks
3309 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3310 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3311 are processed using the same event handler.
3312

3688 @class wxCloseEvent
3689
3690 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3691
3692 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3693 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3694 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3695 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3696
3697 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3698 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3699 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3700
3701 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3702 the window.
3703
3704 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3705 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3706 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3707 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3708
3709 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3710
3711 @code
3712 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3713 {
3714 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3715 {
3716 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3717 "Please confirm",
3718 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3719 {
3720 event.Veto();
3721 return;
3722 }
3723 }
3724
3725 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3726 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3727 }
3728 @endcode
3729
3730 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3731 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3732 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3733 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3734 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3735 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3736 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3737 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3738 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3739 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3740 will still kill your application).

4198 Helper macro for definition of custom event table macros.

4201 it is better and more clear to just use the address of the function
4202 directly as this is all this macro does in this case. However it needs to
4203 explicitly cast @a func to @a functype, which is the type of wxEvtHandler
4204 member function taking the custom event argument when
4205 wxEVENTS_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 is 0.
4206
4207 See wx__DECLARE_EVT0 for an example of use.
