    @class wxEvent

    An event is a structure holding information about an event passed to a
    callback or member function.

    wxEvent used to be a multipurpose event object, and is an abstract base class
    for other event classes (see below).

    For more information about events, see the @ref overview_eventhandling overview.

    @beginWxPerlOnly
    In wxPerl custom event classes should be derived from
    @c Wx::PlEvent and @c Wx::PlCommandEvent.

        Constructor.

        Notice that events are usually created by wxWidgets itself and creating
        e.g. a wxPaintEvent in your code and sending it to e.g. a wxTextCtrl
        will not usually affect it at all as native controls have no specific
        knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of
        specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you
        want to create your own custom control and want to process its events
        in the same manner as the standard ones.

        Also please notice that the order of parameters in this constructor is
        different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
        type as the first argument.

        @param id
            The identifier of the object (window, timer, ...) which generated
            this event.
        @param eventType
            The unique type of event, e.g. wxEVT_PAINT, wxEVT_SIZE or
            wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.

        Any event that is posted to the wxWidgets event system for later action

        this method.

        All wxWidgets events fully implement this method, but any derived events
        implemented by the user should also implement this method just in case they
        (or some event derived from them) are ever posted.

        All wxWidgets events implement a copy constructor, so the easiest way of
        implementing the Clone function is to implement a copy constructor for
        a new event (call it MyEvent) and then define the Clone function like this:

    */
    virtual ~wxEvtHandler();

    /**
        Queue event for a later processing.

        This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
        synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
        function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
        while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
        the next event loop iteration).

        Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
        @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
        the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
        used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
        moment).

        QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
        threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
        locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
        documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
        calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
        fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
        the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
        as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
        the scenes. For example
        @code
            void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
            {
                wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;

                // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
                evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy

                wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
            }
        @endcode

        Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
        if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
        to do it manually when using it.

        @since 2.9.0

        @param event

        This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
        events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
        (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
        wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the
        original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function
        share the same string buffer internally. Use QueueEvent() to avoid
        this.

        A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted
        as soon as function returns (it is common that the original is created
        on the stack). This requires that the wxEvent::Clone() method be
        implemented by event so that it can be duplicated and stored until it
        gets processed.

        framework (and application).

        However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
        (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
        allowing the user to override virtual functions.

        you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by

        are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, ProcessEvent() will
        need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler functions
        are associated with these objects. The property classes library (wxProperty) also

        -# SearchEventTable() is called for this event handler. If this fails, the base
            class table is tried, and so on until no more tables exist or an appropriate
            function was found, in which case the function exits.
        -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
            chain has a length of one). If this succeeds, the function exits.
        -# If the object is a wxWindow and the event is a wxCommandEvent, ProcessEvent()
            is recursively applied to the parent window's event handler.

/**
    @class wxKeyEvent

    This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.

    Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
    key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
    is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
    release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
    maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
    generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
    one up event corresponding to each down one.

    Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
    the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
    an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
    from the @ref page_keycodes.
    The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
    as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
    zone, for example.

    A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
    and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
    event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
    is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
    @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
    just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
    as well.

    Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
    found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
    wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
    for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
    can only be done properly by the system itself.

    Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
    example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
    same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
    the ASCII value of this key combination.

    You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
    running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
    in any of the text controls shown in it.

    @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
    key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.

    @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
          does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
          (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
          This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
          events to be a bit simpler.

    @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
          similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
          @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
          char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

    paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
    inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.

    @remarks
    Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
    wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
    refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
    For example:
    @code
    void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
    {
        wxPaintDC dc(this);

        DrawMyDocument(dc);
    }
    @endcode
    You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
    and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
    and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
    view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
    Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
    @code
    // Called when window needs to be repainted.
    void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
    {
        wxPaintDC dc(this);

        // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
        int vbX,vbY;                     // Top left corner of client
        GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);

        int vX,vY,vW,vH;                 // Dimensions of client area in pixels
        wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list

        while (upd)
        {
            vX = upd.GetX();
            vY = upd.GetY();
            vW = upd.GetW();
            vH = upd.GetH();

            // Alternatively we can do this:
            // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());

            // Repaint this rectangle

/**
    @class wxUpdateUIEvent

    This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
    to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.

    Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
    enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
    and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
    that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.

    With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
    application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
    functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.

    In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
    have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
    handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
    Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
    object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
    call has been made, and which UI element to update.

    These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
    popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
    owns the menu.

    If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
    you can do one or both of the following:
    @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
        and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
        receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
    @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
        between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
        for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
        delay before windows are updated.

    Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
    for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
    which is always called in idle time.

    wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
    On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
    to be shown, and not in idle time.

    @class wxClipboardTextEvent

    This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
    wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
    content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.

    There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
    wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.

    If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
    handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
    prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
    possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
    transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
    changing its case or removing invalid characters.

    Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
    makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
    text was copied or cut.

    @note
    These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl under GTK+.
    They are generated by all controls under Windows.

    @beginEventTable{wxClipboardTextEvent}
    @event{EVT_TEXT_COPY(id, func)}

/**
    @class wxMouseEvent

    This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
    they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.

    All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
    left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
    @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
    buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
    can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
    portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
    button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
    under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).

    For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
    purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
    window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
    parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
    mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.

    @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
          supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
          drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
          left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.

    @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
          wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when the event corresponds
          to the left mouse button click while the latter returns @true if the left
          mouse button is currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging
          the mouse you can use wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse
          button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
          returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in wxWidgets
          whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent).
          The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as well.

    A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
    up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
    handlers.

    The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
    clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
    if the identifier is unrecognised.

    Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further

/**
    @class wxScrollEvent

    A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
    scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).

    Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
    wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
    events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
    controls.

    @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED

    The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
    using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
    by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).

    The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
    position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
    event does not happen).

    In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
    independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
    to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.

    @remarks
    Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
    orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
    are processed using the same event handler.

    @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
    You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting

    happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.

    If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
    wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
    (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
    (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
    if possible.

    By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
    If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
    wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
    wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
    idle events.

/**
    @class wxCloseEvent

    This event class contains information about window and session close events.

    The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
    a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
    It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
    calling the wxWindow::Close function.

    You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
    using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
    using wxWindow::Destroy.

    If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
    the window.

    If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
    let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
    This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
    on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

    Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:

    @code
        void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
        {
            if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
            {
                if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
                                  "Please confirm",
                                  wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
                {
                    event.Veto();
                    return;
                }
            }

            Destroy();  // you may also do:  event.Skip();
                        // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
        }
    @endcode

    The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
    when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
    so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
    handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
    system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
    wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
    that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
    waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
    make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
    class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
    will still kill your application).

    @beginEventTable{wxCloseEvent}
    @event{EVT_CLOSE(func)}
