13 This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
15 Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
16 key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
17 is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
18 release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
19 maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
20 generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
21 one up event corresponding to each down one.
23 Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
24 the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
25 an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
26 from the @ref overview_keycodes "keycodes table". The translated key is, in
27 general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the key
28 combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for example.
30 A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
31 and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
32 event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
33 is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
34 @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
35 just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
38 Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
39 found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
40 wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown, in general you should use
41 @c EVT_CHAR for this as for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is
42 keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly by the system itself.
44 Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
45 example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
46 same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of
47 1, the ASCII value of this key combination.
49 You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
50 running the text() wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
51 in any of the text controls shown in it.
53 @b Note: If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and
54 the event handler does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding
55 char event (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and
56 enables the programs that handle both types of events to be a bit
59 @b Note for Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
60 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
61 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
62 event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
64 @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
65 key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
70 class wxKeyEvent
: public wxEvent
74 Constructor. Currently, the only valid event types are wxEVT_CHAR and
77 wxKeyEvent(WXTYPE keyEventType
);
80 Returns @true if the Alt key was down at the time of the key event.
81 Notice that GetModifiers() is easier to use
82 correctly than this function so you should consider using it in new code.
87 CMD is a pseudo key which is the same as Control for PC and Unix
88 platforms but the special APPLE (a.k.a as COMMAND) key under
89 Macs: it makes often sense to use it instead of, say, ControlDown() because Cmd
90 key is used for the same thing under Mac as Ctrl elsewhere (but Ctrl still
91 exists, just not used for this purpose under Mac). So for non-Mac platforms
92 this is the same as ControlDown() and under
93 Mac this is the same as MetaDown().
98 Returns @true if the control key was down at the time of the key event.
99 Notice that GetModifiers() is easier to use
100 correctly than this function so you should consider using it in new code.
102 bool ControlDown() const;
105 Returns the virtual key code. ASCII events return normal ASCII values,
106 while non-ASCII events return values such as @b WXK_LEFT for the
107 left cursor key. See Keycodes() for a full list of
108 the virtual key codes.
109 Note that in Unicode build, the returned value is meaningful only if the
110 user entered a character that can be represented in current locale's default
111 charset. You can obtain the corresponding Unicode character using
114 int GetKeyCode() const;
117 Return the bitmask of modifier keys which were pressed when this event
118 happened. See @ref overview_keymodifiers "key modifier constants" for the full
121 Notice that this function is easier to use correctly than, for example,
122 ControlDown() because when using the latter you
123 also have to remember to test that none of the other modifiers is pressed:
125 and forgetting to do it can result in serious program bugs (e.g. program not
126 working with European keyboard layout where ALTGR key which is seen by
127 the program as combination of CTRL and ALT is used). On the
128 other hand, you can simply write
132 int GetModifiers() const;
136 Obtains the position (in client coordinates) at which the key was pressed.
138 wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
139 const void GetPosition(long* x
, long* y
) const;
143 Returns the raw key code for this event. This is a platform-dependent scan code
144 which should only be used in advanced applications.
145 @b NB: Currently the raw key codes are not supported by all ports, use
146 @c #ifdef wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES to determine if this feature is available.
148 wxUint32
GetRawKeyCode() const;
151 Returns the low level key flags for this event. The flags are
152 platform-dependent and should only be used in advanced applications.
153 @b NB: Currently the raw key flags are not supported by all ports, use
154 @c #ifdef wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES to determine if this feature is available.
156 wxUint32
GetRawKeyFlags() const;
159 Returns the Unicode character corresponding to this key event.
160 This function is only available in Unicode build, i.e. when
161 @c wxUSE_UNICODE is 1.
163 wxChar
GetUnicodeKey() const;
166 Returns the X position (in client coordinates) of the event.
171 Returns the Y (in client coordinates) position of the event.
176 Returns @true if either CTRL or ALT keys was down
177 at the time of the key event. Note that this function does not take into
178 account neither SHIFT nor META key states (the reason for ignoring
179 the latter is that it is common for NUMLOCK key to be configured as
180 META under X but the key presses even while NUMLOCK is on should
181 be still processed normally).
183 bool HasModifiers() const;
186 Returns @true if the Meta key was down at the time of the key event.
187 Notice that GetModifiers() is easier to use
188 correctly than this function so you should consider using it in new code.
190 bool MetaDown() const;
193 Returns @true if the shift key was down at the time of the key event.
194 Notice that GetModifiers() is easier to use
195 correctly than this function so you should consider using it in new code.
197 bool ShiftDown() const;
201 @b Deprecated: Please use GetModifiers()
203 @true if the Alt key is pressed down.
209 @b Deprecated: Please use GetModifiers()
211 @true if control is pressed down.
217 @b Deprecated: Please use GetKeyCode()
219 Virtual keycode. See Keycodes() for a list of identifiers.
225 @b Deprecated: Please use GetModifiers()
227 @true if the Meta key is pressed down.
233 @b Deprecated: Please use GetModifiers()
235 @true if shift is pressed down.
241 @b Deprecated: Please use GetX() instead!
242 X position of the event.
248 @b Deprecated: Please use GetY() instead!
249 Y position of the event.
256 @class wxJoystickEvent
259 This event class contains information about mouse events, particularly
260 events received by windows.
267 class wxJoystickEvent
: public wxEvent
273 wxJoystickEvent(WXTYPE eventType
= 0, int state
= 0,
274 int joystick
= wxJOYSTICK1
,
278 Returns @true if the event was a down event from the specified button (or any
282 Can be wxJOY_BUTTONn where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; or wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY to
283 indicate any button down event.
285 bool ButtonDown(int button
= wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY
) const;
288 Returns @true if the specified button (or any button) was in a down state.
291 Can be wxJOY_BUTTONn where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; or wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY to
292 indicate any button down event.
294 bool ButtonIsDown(int button
= wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY
) const;
297 Returns @true if the event was an up event from the specified button (or any
301 Can be wxJOY_BUTTONn where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; or wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY to
302 indicate any button down event.
304 bool ButtonUp(int button
= wxJOY_BUTTON_ANY
) const;
307 Returns the identifier of the button changing state. This is a wxJOY_BUTTONn
309 n is one of 1, 2, 3, 4.
311 int GetButtonChange() const;
314 Returns the down state of the buttons. This is a bitlist of wxJOY_BUTTONn
316 n is one of 1, 2, 3, 4.
318 int GetButtonState() const;
321 Returns the identifier of the joystick generating the event - one of
322 wxJOYSTICK1 and wxJOYSTICK2.
324 int GetJoystick() const;
327 Returns the x, y position of the joystick event.
329 wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
332 Returns the z position of the joystick event.
334 int GetZPosition() const;
337 Returns @true if this was a button up or down event (@e not 'is any button
340 bool IsButton() const;
343 Returns @true if this was an x, y move event.
348 Returns @true if this was a z move event.
350 bool IsZMove() const;
356 @class wxScrollWinEvent
359 A scroll event holds information about events sent from scrolling windows.
364 @see wxScrollEvent, @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
366 class wxScrollWinEvent
: public wxEvent
372 wxScrollWinEvent(WXTYPE commandType
= 0, int pos
= 0,
373 int orientation
= 0);
376 Returns wxHORIZONTAL or wxVERTICAL, depending on the orientation of the
379 int GetOrientation() const;
382 Returns the position of the scrollbar for the thumb track and release events.
383 Note that this field can't be used for the other events, you need to query
384 the window itself for the current position in that case.
386 int GetPosition() const;
392 @class wxSysColourChangedEvent
395 This class is used for system colour change events, which are generated
396 when the user changes the colour settings using the control panel.
397 This is only appropriate under Windows.
402 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
404 class wxSysColourChangedEvent
: public wxEvent
410 wxSysColourChangedEvent();
416 @class wxWindowCreateEvent
419 This event is sent just after the actual window associated with a wxWindow
421 has been created. Since it is derived from wxCommandEvent, the event propagates
423 the window hierarchy.
428 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview, wxWindowDestroyEvent
430 class wxWindowCreateEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
436 wxWindowCreateEvent(wxWindow
* win
= NULL
);
445 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
447 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
448 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't
449 attempt to handle paint events for them as even if it might work on some
450 platforms, this is inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
455 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
457 class wxPaintEvent
: public wxEvent
463 wxPaintEvent(int id
= 0);
469 @class wxMaximizeEvent
472 An event being sent when a top level window is maximized. Notice that it is
473 not sent when the window is restored to its original size after it had been
474 maximized, only a normal wxSizeEvent is generated in
480 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview, wxTopLevelWindow::Maximize,
481 wxTopLevelWindow::IsMaximized
483 class wxMaximizeEvent
: public wxEvent
487 Constructor. Only used by wxWidgets internally.
489 wxMaximizeEvent(int id
= 0);
495 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
498 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
499 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
504 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
506 class wxUpdateUIEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
512 wxUpdateUIEvent(wxWindowID commandId
= 0);
515 Returns @true if it is appropriate to update (send UI update events to)
517 This function looks at the mode used (see wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode),
518 the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES flag in @e window,
519 the time update events were last sent in idle time, and
520 the update interval, to determine whether events should be sent to
521 this window now. By default this will always return @true because
522 the update mode is initially wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL and
523 the interval is set to 0; so update events will be sent as
524 often as possible. You can reduce the frequency that events
525 are sent by changing the mode and/or setting an update interval.
527 @see ResetUpdateTime(), SetUpdateInterval(),
530 static bool CanUpdate(wxWindow
* window
);
533 Check or uncheck the UI element.
535 void Check(bool check
);
538 Enable or disable the UI element.
540 void Enable(bool enable
);
543 Returns @true if the UI element should be checked.
545 bool GetChecked() const;
548 Returns @true if the UI element should be enabled.
550 bool GetEnabled() const;
553 Static function returning a value specifying how wxWidgets
554 will send update events: to all windows, or only to those which specify that
556 will process the events.
559 static wxUpdateUIMode
GetMode();
562 Returns @true if the application has called Check(). For wxWidgets internal use
565 bool GetSetChecked() const;
568 Returns @true if the application has called Enable(). For wxWidgets internal use
571 bool GetSetEnabled() const;
574 Returns @true if the application has called Show(). For wxWidgets internal use
577 bool GetSetShown() const;
580 Returns @true if the application has called SetText(). For wxWidgets internal
583 bool GetSetText() const;
586 Returns @true if the UI element should be shown.
588 bool GetShown() const;
591 Returns the text that should be set for the UI element.
593 wxString
GetText() const;
596 Returns the current interval between updates in milliseconds.
597 -1 disables updates, 0 updates as frequently as possible.
598 See SetUpdateInterval().
600 static long GetUpdateInterval();
603 Used internally to reset the last-updated time to the
604 current time. It is assumed that update events are
605 normally sent in idle time, so this is called at the end of
608 @see CanUpdate(), SetUpdateInterval(),
611 static void ResetUpdateTime();
614 Specify how wxWidgets will send update events: to
615 all windows, or only to those which specify that they
616 will process the events.
617 @a mode may be one of the following values.
618 The default is wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL.
620 static void SetMode(wxUpdateUIMode mode
);
623 Sets the text for this UI element.
625 void SetText(const wxString
& text
);
628 Sets the interval between updates in milliseconds.
629 Set to -1 to disable updates, or to 0 to update as frequently as possible.
631 Use this to reduce the overhead of UI update events if your application
632 has a lot of windows. If you set the value to -1 or greater than 0,
633 you may also need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI
634 at appropriate points in your application, such as when a dialog
635 is about to be shown.
637 static void SetUpdateInterval(long updateInterval
);
640 Show or hide the UI element.
642 void Show(bool show
);
648 @class wxClipboardTextEvent
651 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
652 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as
653 well) when its content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
654 There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
655 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
657 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
658 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to prevent
659 the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also possible to
660 examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and transform it in
661 some way before inserting in a control -- for example, changing its case or
662 removing invalid characters.
664 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
665 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the text
673 class wxClipboardTextEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
679 wxClipboardTextEvent(wxEventType commandType
= wxEVT_NULL
,
689 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
690 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
692 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
693 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
694 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
695 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
696 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
697 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
698 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
699 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
701 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
702 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
703 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
704 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
705 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
707 @b NB: Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
709 by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
710 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
711 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
714 @b NB: Note the difference between methods like
715 wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
716 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true
717 when the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
718 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed. For
719 example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
720 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test
721 whether the left mouse button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if
722 wxMouseEvent::LeftDown returns @true,
723 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
724 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
725 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as
731 @see wxKeyEvent::CmdDown
733 class wxMouseEvent
: public wxEvent
737 Constructor. Valid event types are:
739 @b wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW
740 @b wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW
746 @b wxEVT_MIDDLE_DCLICK
749 @b wxEVT_RIGHT_DCLICK
750 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX1_DOWN
751 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX1_UP
752 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX1_DCLICK
753 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX2_DOWN
754 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX2_UP
755 @b wxEVT_MOUSE_AUX2_DCLICK
759 wxMouseEvent(WXTYPE mouseEventType
= 0);
762 Returns @true if the Alt key was down at the time of the event.
767 Returns @true if the event was a first extra button double click.
769 bool Aux1DClick() const;
772 Returns @true if the first extra button mouse button changed to down.
774 bool Aux1Down() const;
777 Returns @true if the first extra button mouse button is currently down,
779 of the current event type.
781 bool Aux1IsDown() const;
784 Returns @true if the first extra button mouse button changed to up.
789 Returns @true if the event was a second extra button double click.
791 bool Aux2DClick() const;
794 Returns @true if the second extra button mouse button changed to down.
796 bool Aux2Down() const;
799 Returns @true if the second extra button mouse button is currently down,
801 of the current event type.
803 bool Aux2IsDown() const;
806 Returns @true if the second extra button mouse button changed to up.
811 Returns @true if the identified mouse button is changing state. Valid
812 values of @a button are:
816 check if left button was pressed
818 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE
820 check if middle button was pressed
824 check if right button was pressed
828 check if the first extra button was pressed
832 check if the second extra button was pressed
836 check if any button was pressed
838 bool Button(int button
);
841 If the argument is omitted, this returns @true if the event was a mouse
842 double click event. Otherwise the argument specifies which double click event
843 was generated (see Button() for the possible
846 bool ButtonDClick(int but
= wxMOUSE_BTN_ANY
);
849 If the argument is omitted, this returns @true if the event was a mouse
850 button down event. Otherwise the argument specifies which button-down event
851 was generated (see Button() for the possible
854 bool ButtonDown(int but
= -1);
857 If the argument is omitted, this returns @true if the event was a mouse
858 button up event. Otherwise the argument specifies which button-up event
859 was generated (see Button() for the possible
862 bool ButtonUp(int but
= -1);
865 Same as MetaDown() under Mac, same as
866 ControlDown() elsewhere.
868 @see wxKeyEvent::CmdDown
870 bool CmdDown() const;
873 Returns @true if the control key was down at the time of the event.
878 Returns @true if this was a dragging event (motion while a button is depressed).
885 Returns @true if the mouse was entering the window.
891 Returns the mouse button which generated this event or @c wxMOUSE_BTN_NONE
892 if no button is involved (for mouse move, enter or leave event, for example).
893 Otherwise @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT is returned for the left button down, up and
894 double click events, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT
895 for the same events for the middle and the right buttons respectively.
897 int GetButton() const;
900 Returns the number of mouse clicks for this event: 1 for a simple click, 2
901 for a double-click, 3 for a triple-click and so on.
902 Currently this function is implemented only in wxMac and returns -1 for the
903 other platforms (you can still distinguish simple clicks from double-clicks as
904 they generate different kinds of events however).
908 int GetClickCount() const;
911 Returns the configured number of lines (or whatever) to be scrolled per
912 wheel action. Defaults to three.
914 int GetLinesPerAction() const;
917 Returns the logical mouse position in pixels (i.e. translated according to the
918 translation set for the DC, which usually indicates that the window has been
921 wxPoint
GetLogicalPosition(const wxDC
& dc
) const;
925 Sets *x and *y to the position at which the event occurred.
926 Returns the physical mouse position in pixels.
927 Note that if the mouse event has been artificially generated from a special
928 keyboard combination (e.g. under Windows when the "menu'' key is pressed), the
929 returned position is @c wxDefaultPosition.
931 wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
932 const void GetPosition(wxCoord
* x
, wxCoord
* y
) const;
933 const void GetPosition(long* x
, long* y
) const;
937 Get wheel delta, normally 120. This is the threshold for action to be
938 taken, and one such action (for example, scrolling one increment)
939 should occur for each delta.
941 int GetWheelDelta() const;
944 Get wheel rotation, positive or negative indicates direction of
945 rotation. Current devices all send an event when rotation is at least
946 +/-WheelDelta, but finer resolution devices can be created in the future.
947 Because of this you shouldn't assume that one event is equal to 1 line, but you
948 should be able to either do partial line scrolling or wait until several
949 events accumulate before scrolling.
951 int GetWheelRotation() const;
954 Returns X coordinate of the physical mouse event position.
959 Returns Y coordinate of the physical mouse event position.
964 Returns @true if the event was a mouse button event (not necessarily a button
966 that may be tested using @e ButtonDown).
968 bool IsButton() const;
971 Returns @true if the system has been setup to do page scrolling with
972 the mouse wheel instead of line scrolling.
974 bool IsPageScroll() const;
977 Returns @true if the mouse was leaving the window.
980 bool Leaving() const;
983 Returns @true if the event was a left double click.
985 bool LeftDClick() const;
988 Returns @true if the left mouse button changed to down.
990 bool LeftDown() const;
993 Returns @true if the left mouse button is currently down, independent
994 of the current event type.
995 Please notice that it is not the same as
996 LeftDown() which returns @true if the event was
997 generated by the left mouse button being pressed. Rather, it simply describes
998 the state of the left mouse button at the time when the event was generated
999 (so while it will be @true for a left click event, it can also be @true for
1000 a right click if it happened while the left mouse button was pressed).
1001 This event is usually used in the mouse event handlers which process "move
1002 mouse" messages to determine whether the user is (still) dragging the mouse.
1004 bool LeftIsDown() const;
1007 Returns @true if the left mouse button changed to up.
1009 bool LeftUp() const;

1027 Returns @true if the middle mouse button is currently down, independent
1028 of the current event type.
1030 bool MiddleIsDown() const;
1033 Returns @true if the middle mouse button changed to up.
1035 bool MiddleUp() const;

1146 @class wxDropFilesEvent
1149 This class is used for drop files events, that is, when files have been dropped
1150 onto the window. This functionality is currently only available under Windows.
1151 The window must have previously been enabled for dropping by calling
1152 wxWindow::DragAcceptFiles.
1154 Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general
1155 drag and drop implementation documented here(). It uses the
1156 older, Windows message-based approach of dropping files.

: public wxEvent
1169 wxDropFilesEvent(WXTYPE id

1209 @class wxCommandEvent
1212 This event class contains information about command events, which originate
1214 simple controls. More complex controls, such as wxTreeCtrl, have separate
1215 command event classes.
1220 class wxCommandEvent
: public wxEvent
1226 wxCommandEvent(WXTYPE commandEventType
= 0, int id
= 0);
1229 Deprecated, use IsChecked() instead.
1231 bool Checked() const;
1234 Returns client data pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
1235 (not valid for a deselection).
1237 void* GetClientData();
1240 Returns client object pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
1241 (not valid for a deselection).
1243 wxClientData
* GetClientObject();
1246 Returns extra information dependant on the event objects type.
1247 If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is a boolean
1248 determining whether the event was a selection (@true) or a
1249 deselection (@false). A listbox deselection only occurs for
1250 multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
1251 are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.
1253 long GetExtraLong();
1256 Returns the integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
1257 radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
1258 deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
1263 Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
1269 Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for

GetString();
1275 This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the
1276 method returns @true for a selection event and @false for a
1277 deselection one. For the menu events, this method indicates if the menu item
1278 just has become checked or unchecked (and thus only makes sense for checkable
1280 Notice that this method can not be used with
1281 wxCheckListBox currently.

1292 Sets the client data for this event.
1294 void SetClientData(void* clientData
);
1297 Sets the client object for this event. The client object is not owned by the
1299 object and the event object will not delete the client object in its destructor.
1300 The client object must be owned and deleted by another object (e.g. a control)
1301 that has longer life time than the event object.

1324 @class wxActivateEvent
1327 An activate event is sent when a window or application is being activated
1333 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview, wxApp::IsActive
1335 class wxActivateEvent
: public wxEvent
1341 wxActivateEvent(WXTYPE eventType
= 0, bool active
= true,
1345 Returns @true if the application or window is being activated, @false otherwise.
1347 bool GetActive() const;
1353 @class wxContextMenuEvent
1356 This class is used for context menu events, sent to give
1357 the application a chance to show a context (popup) menu.
1359 Note that if wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition returns wxDefaultPosition, this
1360 means that the event originated
1361 from a keyboard context button event, and you should compute a suitable
1363 for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().
1365 When a keyboard context menu button is pressed on Windows, a right-click event
1366 with default position is sent first,
1367 and if this event is not processed, the context menu event is sent. So if you
1368 process mouse events and you find your context menu event handler
1369 is not being called, you could call wxEvent::Skip for mouse right-down events.
1374 @see @ref overview_wxcommandevent "Command events", @ref
1375 overview_eventhandlingoverview
1377 class wxContextMenuEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
1383 wxContextMenuEvent(WXTYPE id
= 0, int id
= 0,
1384 const wxPoint
& pos
= wxDefaultPosition
);
1387 Returns the position in screen coordinates at which the menu should be shown.
1388 Use wxWindow::ScreenToClient to
1389 convert to client coordinates. You can also omit a position from
1390 wxWindow::PopupMenu in order to use
1391 the current mouse pointer position.
1392 If the event originated from a keyboard event, the value returned from this
1393 function will be wxDefaultPosition.
1395 wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
1398 Sets the position at which the menu should be shown.
1400 void SetPosition(const wxPoint
& point
);
1409 An erase event is sent when a window's background needs to be repainted.
1411 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just
1413 paint event) and may cause flicker. It is therefore recommended that
1414 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
1415 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.
1417 To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table
1420 You must call wxEraseEvent::GetDC and use the returned device context if it is
1422 If it is @NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.
1427 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
1429 class wxEraseEvent
: public wxEvent
1435 wxEraseEvent(int id
= 0, wxDC
* dc
= NULL
);
1438 Returns the device context associated with the erase event to draw on.
1440 wxDC
* GetDC() const;
1449 A focus event is sent when a window's focus changes. The window losing focus
1450 receives a "kill focus'' event while the window gaining it gets a "set
1453 Notice that the set focus event happens both when the user gives focus to the
1454 window (whether using the mouse or keyboard) and when it is done from the
1455 program itself using wxWindow::SetFocus.
1460 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
1462 class wxFocusEvent
: public wxEvent
1468 wxFocusEvent(WXTYPE eventType
= 0, int id
= 0);
1471 Returns the window associated with this event, that is the window which had the
1472 focus before for the @c wxEVT_SET_FOCUS event and the window which is
1473 going to receive focus for the @c wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS one.
1474 Warning: the window pointer may be @NULL!
1481 @class wxChildFocusEvent
1484 A child focus event is sent to a (parent-)window when one of its child windows
1486 so that the window could restore the focus back to its corresponding child
1487 if it loses it now and regains later.
1489 Notice that child window is the direct child of the window receiving event.
1490 Use wxWindow::FindFocus to retreive the window which is actually getting focus.
1495 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
1497 class wxChildFocusEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
1504 The direct child which is (or which contains the window which is) receiving
1507 wxChildFocusEvent(wxWindow
* win
= NULL
);
1510 Returns the direct child which receives the focus, or a (grand-)parent of the
1511 control receiving the focus.
1512 To get the actually focused control use wxWindow::FindFocus.
1519 @class wxMouseCaptureLostEvent
1522 An mouse capture lost event is sent to a window that obtained mouse capture,
1523 which was subsequently loss due to "external" event, for example when a dialog
1524 box is shown or if another application captures the mouse.
1526 If this happens, this event is sent to all windows that are on capture stack
1527 (i.e. called CaptureMouse, but didn't call ReleaseMouse yet). The event is
1528 not sent if the capture changes because of a call to CaptureMouse or
1531 This event is currently emitted under Windows only.
1536 @see wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent, @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview,
1537 wxWindow::CaptureMouse, wxWindow::ReleaseMouse, wxWindow::GetCapture

: public wxEvent
1545 wxMouseCaptureLostEvent(wxWindowID windowId
= 0);
1551 @class wxNotifyEvent
1554 This class is not used by the event handlers by itself, but is a base class
1555 for other event classes (such as wxNotebookEvent).
1557 It (or an object of a derived class) is sent when the controls state is being
1558 changed and allows the program to wxNotifyEvent::Veto this
1559 change if it wants to prevent it from happening.
1564 @see wxNotebookEvent
1566 class wxNotifyEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
1570 Constructor (used internally by wxWidgets only).
1572 wxNotifyEvent(wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
, int id
= 0);
1575 This is the opposite of Veto(): it explicitly
1576 allows the event to be processed. For most events it is not necessary to call
1577 this method as the events are allowed anyhow but some are forbidden by default
1578 (this will be mentioned in the corresponding event description).
1583 Returns @true if the change is allowed (Veto()
1584 hasn't been called) or @false otherwise (if it was).
1586 bool IsAllowed() const;
1589 Prevents the change announced by this event from happening.
1590 It is in general a good idea to notify the user about the reasons for vetoing
1591 the change because otherwise the applications behaviour (which just refuses to
1592 do what the user wants) might be quite surprising.
1603 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
1604 This can either be caused by the application requesting
1605 context-sensitive help mode via wxContextHelp, or
1606 (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when the user
1607 pressed F1 or clicked
1608 on the query button in a dialog caption.
1610 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
1612 window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
1614 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
1616 and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip if the identifier
1618 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
1619 events for ancestors
1620 of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to show help for
1622 since processing would stop after the first window found.
1627 @see wxContextHelp, wxDialog, @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
1629 class wxHelpEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
1635 wxHelpEvent(WXTYPE eventType
= 0, wxWindowID id
= 0,
1636 const wxPoint
& point

1639 Returns the origin of the help event which is one of the following values:
1643 Unrecognized event source.
1647 Event generated by @c F1 key press.
1649 @b Origin_HelpButton
1652 wxContextHelp or using the "?" title bur button under
1655 The application may handle events generated using the keyboard or mouse
1656 differently, e.g. by using wxGetMousePosition()
1657 for the mouse events.
1661 wxHelpEvent::Origin
GetOrigin() const;
1664 Returns the left-click position of the mouse, in screen coordinates. This allows
1665 the application to position the help appropriately.
1667 const wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
1670 Set the help event origin, only used internally by wxWidgets normally.
1674 void SetOrigin(wxHelpEvent::Origin origin
);
1677 Sets the left-click position of the mouse, in screen coordinates.
1679 void SetPosition(const wxPoint
& pt
);
1685 @class wxScrollEvent
1688 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
1689 scrollbars() and sliders(). Note that
1690 starting from wxWidgets 2.1, scrolled windows send the
1691 wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
1692 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
1693 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the
1694 scrollbar-like controls.
1699 @see wxScrollBar, wxSlider, wxSpinButton, , wxScrollWinEvent, @ref
1700 overview_eventhandlingoverview

1708 wxScrollEvent(WXTYPE commandType

1709 int orientation
= 0);

1715 int GetOrientation() const;
1718 Returns the position of the scrollbar.
1720 int GetPosition() const;
1729 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
1730 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
1731 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
1732 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
1733 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again. If you need to ensure
1734 a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
1735 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call
1736 wxWakeUpIdle() periodically (for example from timer
1737 event), but note that both of these approaches (and especially the first one)
1738 increase the system load and so should be avoided if possible.
1740 By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also
1741 wxApp, as usual). If this is causing a significant
1742 overhead in your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with
1743 the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra
1744 window style for every window which should receive idle events.
1749 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview, wxUpdateUIEvent,
1750 wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1752 class wxIdleEvent
: public wxEvent
1761 Returns @true if it is appropriate to send idle events to
1763 This function looks at the mode used (see wxIdleEvent::SetMode),
1764 and the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE style in @a window to determine whether idle
1765 events should be sent to
1766 this window now. By default this will always return @true because
1767 the update mode is initially wxIDLE_PROCESS_ALL. You can change the mode
1768 to only send idle events to windows with the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
1773 static bool CanSend(wxWindow
* window
);
1776 Static function returning a value specifying how wxWidgets
1777 will send idle events: to all windows, or only to those which specify that they
1778 will process the events.
1781 static wxIdleMode
GetMode();
1784 Returns @true if the OnIdle function processing this event requested more
1789 bool MoreRequested() const;
1792 Tells wxWidgets that more processing is required. This function can be called
1794 handler for a window or window event handler to indicate that wxApp::OnIdle
1796 forward the OnIdle event once more to the application windows. If no window
1798 during OnIdle, then the application will remain in a passive event loop (not
1799 calling OnIdle) until a
1800 new event is posted to the application by the windowing system.
1802 @see MoreRequested()
1804 void RequestMore(bool needMore
= true);
1807 Static function for specifying how wxWidgets will send idle events: to
1808 all windows, or only to those which specify that they
1809 will process the events.
1810 @a mode can be one of the following values.
1811 The default is wxIDLE_PROCESS_ALL.
1813 static void SetMode(wxIdleMode mode
);
1819 @class wxInitDialogEvent
1822 A wxInitDialogEvent is sent as a dialog or panel is being initialised.
1823 Handlers for this event can transfer data to the window.
1824 The default handler calls wxWindow::TransferDataToWindow.
1829 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview
1831 class wxInitDialogEvent
: public wxEvent
1837 wxInitDialogEvent(int id
= 0);
1843 @class wxWindowDestroyEvent
1846 This event is sent from the wxWindow destructor wxWindow::~wxWindow() when a
1847 window is destroyed.
1849 When a class derived from wxWindow is destroyed its destructor will have
1850 already run by the time this event is sent. Therefore this event will not
1851 usually be received at all.
1853 To receive this event wxEvtHandler::Connect
1854 must be used (using an event table macro will not work). Since it is
1855 received after the destructor has run, an object should not handle its
1856 own wxWindowDestroyEvent, but it can be used to get notification of the
1857 destruction of another window.
1862 @see @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview, wxWindowCreateEvent

1876 @class wxNavigationKeyEvent
1879 This event class contains information about navigation events,
1880 generated by navigation keys such as tab and page down.
1882 This event is mainly used by wxWidgets implementations. A
1883 wxNavigationKeyEvent handler is automatically provided by wxWidgets
1884 when you make a class into a control container with the macro
1885 WX_DECLARE_CONTROL_CONTAINER.

1914 Returns @true if the navigation event was from a tab key. This is required
1915 for proper navigation over radio buttons.

1920 Returns @true if the navigation event represents a window change (for
1921 example, from Ctrl-Page Down

1956 @class wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent
1959 An mouse capture changed event is sent to a window that loses its
1960 mouse capture. This is called even if wxWindow::ReleaseCapture
1961 was called by the application code. Handling this event allows
1962 an application to cater for unexpected capture releases which
1963 might otherwise confuse mouse handling code.
1965 This event is implemented under Windows only.

1983 Returns the window that gained the capture, or @NULL if it was a non-wxWidgets
1986 wxWindow
* GetCapturedWindow() const;
1995 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
1997 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
1999 or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It can
2000 also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
2001 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
2003 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
2004 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false,
2005 you @e must destroy the window using wxWindow::Destroy.
2006 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
2009 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
2010 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the
2011 wxWindow::Close function
2012 to return @true or @false depending on whether the close instruction was

2032 force the application to exit, and so this function must be called to check
2038 Returns @true if the user is just logging off or @false if the system is
2039 shutting down. This method can only be called for end session and query end
2040 session events, it doesn't make sense for close window event.
2042 bool GetLoggingOff() const;
2045 Sets the 'can veto' flag.

2050 Sets the 'force' flag.
2052 void SetForce(bool force
) const;
2055 Sets the 'logging off' flag.
2057 void SetLoggingOff(bool loggingOff

2074 This class is used for a variety of menu-related events. Note that
2075 these do not include menu command events, which are
2076 handled using wxCommandEvent objects.
2078 The default handler for wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT displays help
2079 text in the first field of the status bar.

2183 When events are received, wxEvtHandler invokes the method listed in the
2184 event table using itself as the object. When using multiple inheritance
2185 it is imperative that the wxEvtHandler(-derived) class be the first
2186 class inherited such that the "this" pointer for the overall object
2187 will be identical to the "this" pointer for the wxEvtHandler portion.

2213 Event to add to process queue.
2215 @remarks The difference between sending an event (using the ProcessEvent
2216 method) and posting it is that in the first case the
2217 event is processed before the function returns, while
2218 in the second case, the function returns immediately
2219 and the event will be processed sometime later (usually
2220 during the next event loop iteration).

2526 An event is a structure holding information about an event passed to a
2527 callback or member function. @b wxEvent used to be a multipurpose
2528 event object, and is an abstract base class for other event classes (see below).
2530 For more information about events, see the @ref overview_eventhandlingoverview.
2532 @b wxPerl note: In wxPerl custom event classes should be derived from
2533 @c Wx::PlEvent and @c Wx::PlCommandEvent.
2538 @see wxCommandEvent, wxMouseEvent
2540 class wxEvent
: public wxObject
2544 Constructor. Should not need to be used directly by an application.
2546 wxEvent(int id
= 0, wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
);
2549 Returns a copy of the event.
2550 Any event that is posted to the wxWidgets event system for later action (via
2551 wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent or
2552 wxPostEvent()) must implement this method. All wxWidgets
2553 events fully implement this method, but any derived events implemented by the
2554 user should also implement this method just in case they (or some event
2555 derived from them) are ever posted.
2556 All wxWidgets events implement a copy constructor, so the easiest way of
2557 implementing the Clone function is to implement a copy constructor for
2558 a new event (call it MyEvent) and then define the Clone function like this:
2560 virtual wxEvent
* Clone() const;
2563 Returns the object (usually a window) associated with the
2566 wxObject
* GetEventObject();
2569 Returns the identifier of the given event type,
2570 such as @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.
2572 wxEventType
GetEventType();
2575 Returns the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
2580 Returns @true if the event handler should be skipped, @false otherwise.
2582 bool GetSkipped() const;
2585 Gets the timestamp for the event. The timestamp is the time in milliseconds
2586 since some fixed moment (not necessarily the standard Unix Epoch, so
2587 only differences between the timestamps and not their absolute values usually
2590 long GetTimestamp();
2593 Returns @true if the event is or is derived from
2594 wxCommandEvent else it returns @false.
2595 Note: Exists only for optimization purposes.
2597 bool IsCommandEvent() const;
2600 Sets the propagation level to the given value (for example returned from an
2601 earlier call to wxEvent::StopPropagation).
2603 void ResumePropagation(int propagationLevel
);
2606 Sets the originating object.
2608 void SetEventObject(wxObject
* object
);
2611 Sets the event type.
2613 void SetEventType(wxEventType type
);
2616 Sets the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
2621 Sets the timestamp for the event.
2623 void SetTimestamp(long timeStamp
);
2626 Test if this event should be propagated or not, i.e. if the propagation level
2627 is currently greater than 0.
2629 bool ShouldPropagate() const;
2632 This method can be used inside an event handler to control whether further
2633 event handlers bound to this event will be called after the current one
2634 returns. Without Skip() (or equivalently if Skip(@false) is used),
2635 the event will not be processed any more. If Skip(@true) is called, the event
2636 processing system continues searching for a further handler function for this
2637 event, even though it has been processed already in the current handler.
2638 In general, it is recommended to skip all non-command events to allow the
2639 default handling to take place. The command events are, however, normally not
2640 skipped as usually a single command such as a button click or menu item
2641 selection must only be processed by one handler.
2643 void Skip(bool skip
= true);
2646 Stop the event from propagating to its parent window.
2647 Returns the old propagation level value which may be later passed to
2648 ResumePropagation() to allow propagating the
2651 int StopPropagation();
2654 int m_propagationLevel
2655 Indicates how many levels the event can propagate. This member is protected and
2656 should typically only be set in the constructors of the derived classes. It
2657 may be temporarily changed by StopPropagation()
2658 and ResumePropagation() and tested with
2660 The initial value is set to either @c wxEVENT_PROPAGATE_NONE (by
2661 default) meaning that the event shouldn't be propagated at all or to
2662 @c wxEVENT_PROPAGATE_MAX (for command events) meaning that it should be
2663 propagated as much as necessary.
2664 Any positive number means that the event should be propagated but no more than
2665 the given number of times. E.g. the propagation level may be set to 1 to
2666 propagate the event to its parent only, but not to its grandparent.
2676 A size event holds information about size change events.
2678 The EVT_SIZE handler function will be called when the window has been resized.
2680 You may wish to use this for frames to resize their child windows as
2683 Note that the size passed is of
2684 the whole window: call wxWindow::GetClientSize for the area which may be
2685 used by the application.
2687 When a window is resized, usually only a small part of the window is damaged
2689 may only need to repaint that area. However, if your drawing depends on the
2691 you may need to clear the DC explicitly and repaint the whole window. In which
2693 may need to call wxWindow::Refresh to invalidate the entire window.

2700 class wxSizeEvent
: public wxEvent

2709 Returns the entire size of the window generating the size change event.
2711 wxSize
GetSize() const;
2717 @class wxSetCursorEvent
2720 A SetCursorEvent is generated when the mouse cursor is about to be set as a
2721 result of mouse motion. This event gives the application the chance to perform
2722 specific mouse cursor processing based on the current position of the mouse
2723 within the window. Use wxSetCursorEvent::SetCursor to
2724 specify the cursor you want to be displayed.
