1171 // Keyboard input event class
1174 "This event class contains information about keypress and character
1175 events. These events are only sent to the widget that currently has
1178 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in
1179 wxWidgets: key down and up events and char events. The difference
1180 between the first two is clear - the first corresponds to a key press
1181 and the second to a key release - otherwise they are identical. Just
1182 note that if the key is maintained in a pressed state you will
1183 typically get a lot of (automatically generated) down events but only
1184 one up so it is wrong to assume that there is one up event
1185 corresponding to each down one.
1187 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event
1188 carries the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric
1189 keys is always an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of
1190 WXK_XXX values from the keycodes table. The translated key is, in
1191 general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the
1192 key combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for
1195 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
1196 and the standard US keyboard): when the 'A' key is pressed, the key
1197 down event key code is equal to ASCII A == 65. But the char event key
1198 code is ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
1199 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
1200 just 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be 'A' as
1203 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code
1204 could be found in the key down event handler by checking the value
1205 returned by `ShiftDown`, in general you should use EVT_CHAR for this
1206 as for non alphanumeric keys or non-US keyboard layouts the
1207 translation is keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly
1208 by the system itself.
1210 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed:
1211 for example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
1212 same key code 'A' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
1213 the ASCII value of this key combination.
1215 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave
1216 interactively by running the KeyEvents sample in the wxPython demo and
1217 pressing some keys while the blue box at the top has the keyboard
1220 **Note**: If a key down event is caught and the event handler does not
1221 call event.Skip() then the coresponding char event will not
1222 happen. This is by design and enables the programs that handle both
1223 types of events to be a bit simpler.
1225 **Note for Windows programmers**: The key and char events in wxWidgets
1226 are similar to but slightly different from Windows WM_KEYDOWN and
1227 WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
1228 event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
1230 **Tip**: be sure to call event.Skip() for events that you don't
1231 process in key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to

1990 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to
1991 check/uncheck, enable/disable, and set the text for elements such as
1992 menu items and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be
1993 mixed up with the code that is invoked when an action is invoked for a
1994 menu item or button.
1996 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the
1997 state of the application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets
1998 will call your handler functions in idle time, so you don't have to
1999 worry where to call this code. In addition to being a clearer and more
2000 declarative method, it also means you don't have to worry whether
2001 you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same handler can
2002 update a menu item and toolbar button, if the ID values are the same.
2004 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call
2005 functions in the event object, such as `Check`. wxWidgets will
2006 determine whether such a call has been made, and which UI element to
2009 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just
2010 before a menu is popped up, `wx.Menu.UpdateUI` is called to process
2011 any UI events for the window that owns the menu.
2013 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting
2014 your application, you can do one or both of the following:
2016 1. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetMode` with a value of
2017 wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the extra style
2018 wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UPDATE_EVENTS for every window that should
2019 receive update events. No other windows will receive update
2022 2. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetUpdateInterval` with a millisecond
2023 value to set the delay between updates. You may need to call
2024 `wx.Window.UpdateWindowUI` at critical points, for example when
2025 a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
2026 delay before windows are updated.
2028 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a EVT_IDLE
2029 handler for a window does not affect this because the events are sent
2030 from an internal idle handler.
2032 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms. On
2033 Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu
