   3 This event class contains information about command events, which originate from a variety of
   4 simple controls. More complex controls, such as \helpref{wxTreeCtrl}{wxtreectrl}, have separate command event classes.

  17 functions that take a wxCommandEvent argument.

  90 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_clientData}
  91
  92 \member{void*}{m\_clientData}
  93
  94 Contains a pointer to client data for listboxes and choices, if the event
  95 was a selection. Beware, this is not implemented anyway...
  96
  97 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandInt}
  98
  99 \member{int}{m\_commandInt}
 100
 101 Contains an integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
 102 radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
 103 deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
 104
 105 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandString}
 106
 107 \member{wxString}{m\_commandString}
 108
 109 Contains a string corresponding to a listbox or choice selection.
 110
 111 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_extraLong}
 112
 113 \member{long}{m\_extraLong}
 114
 115 Extra information. If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is
 116 a boolean determining whether the event was a selection (TRUE) or a
 117 deselection (FALSE). A listbox deselection only occurs for
 118 multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
 119 are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.
 120
 121 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::wxCommandEvent}
 122
 123 \func{}{wxCommandEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ commandEventType = 0}, \param{int}{ id = 0}}
 124
 125 Constructor.
 126
 127 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::Checked}
 128
 129 \constfunc{bool}{Checked}{\void}
 130
 131 Deprecated, use \helpref{IsChecked}{wxcommandeventischecked} instead.
 132
 133 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetClientData}
 134
 135 \func{void*}{GetClientData}{\void}
 136
 137 Returns client data pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
 138 (not valid for a deselection).
 139
 140 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetExtraLong}
 141
 142 \func{long}{GetExtraLong}{\void}
 143
 144 Returns the {\bf m\_extraLong} member.
 145
 146 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetInt}
 147
 148 \func{int}{GetInt}{\void}
 149
 150 Returns the {\bf m\_commandInt} member.
 151
 152 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetSelection}
 153
 154 \func{int}{GetSelection}{\void}
 155
 156 Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
 157 a deselection).
 158
 159 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetString}
 160
 161 \func{wxString}{GetString}{\void}
 162
 163 Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
 164 a deselection).
 165
 166 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsChecked}\label{wxcommandeventischecked}
 167
 168 \constfunc{bool}{IsChecked}{\void}
 169
 170 This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the
 171 method returns {\tt TRUE} for a selection event and {\tt FALSE} for a
 172 deselection one. For the menu events, this method indicates if the menu item
 173 just has become checked or unchecked (and thus only makes sense for checkable
 174 menu items).
 175
 176 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsSelection}
 177
 178 \func{bool}{IsSelection}{\void}
 179
 180 For a listbox or choice event, returns TRUE if it is a selection, FALSE if it
 181 is a deselection.
 182
 183 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetClientData}
 184
 185 \func{void}{SetClientData}{\param{void*}{ clientData}}
 186
 187 Sets the client data for this event.
 188
 189 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetExtraLong}
 190
 191 \func{void}{SetExtraLong}{\param{int}{ extraLong}}
 192
 193 Sets the {\bf m\_extraLong} member.
 194
 195 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetInt}
 196
 197 \func{void}{SetInt}{\param{int}{ intCommand}}
 198
 199 Sets the {\bf m\_commandInt} member.
 200
 201 \membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetString}
 202
 203 \func{void}{SetString}{\param{const wxString\&}{ string}}
 204
 205 Sets the {\bf m\_commandString} member.
