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

396 /**
397 Queue event for a later processing.
398
399 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
400 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
401 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
402 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
403 the next event loop iteration).
404
405 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
406 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
407 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
408 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
409 moment).
410
411 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
412 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
413 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
414 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
415 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
416 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
417 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
418 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
419 the scenes. For example:
420 @code
421 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
422 {
423 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
424
425 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
426 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
427
428 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
429 }
430 @endcode
431
432 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
433 to avoid this problem:
434 @code
435 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
436 {
437 wxThreadEvent evt;
438 evt->SetString(str);
439
440 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
441 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
442 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
443 }
444 @endcode
445
446 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
447 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
448 to do it manually when using it.

460
461 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
462 events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
463 (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
464 wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the
465 original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function
466 share the same string buffer internally. Use QueueEvent() to avoid
467 this.
468
469 A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted
470 as soon as function returns (it is common that the original is created

486 typically can't be performed inside their handlers, e.g. you shouldn't
487 show a modal dialog from a mouse click event handler as this would
488 break the mouse capture state -- but you can call a method showing
489 this message dialog after the current event handler completes.

534 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
535 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
536 framework (and application).
537
538 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
539 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
540 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
541
542 Notice that you don't usually need to override ProcessEvent() to
543 customize the event handling, overriding the specially provided
544 TryBefore() and TryAfter() functions is usually enough. For example,
545 wxMDIParentFrame may override TryBefore() to ensure that the menu
546 events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
547 in the parent frame itself.
548
549 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
550 -# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
551 (default) the processing stops here.
552 -# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
553 account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
554 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
555 the function skips to step (7).
556 -# Dynamic event table of the handlers bound using Bind<>() is
557 searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
558 returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
559 that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
560 -# Static events table of the handlers bound using event table
561 macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
562 class event table is tried, and so on until no more tables
563 exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
564 the same logic as in the previous step applies.
565 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
566 chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
567 @image html overview_events_chain.png
568 (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
569 the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
570 Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
571 (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
572 If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
573 -# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the
574 event to the window parent (recursively). If the event is still not
575 processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last

703
704 This is an alternative to the use of static event tables. It is more
705 flexible as it allows to connect events generated by some object to an
706 event handler defined in a different object of a different class (which
707 is impossible to do directly with the event tables -- the events can be
708 only handled in another object if they are propagated upwards to it).
709 Do make sure to specify the correct @a eventSink when connecting to an

715
716 This specific overload allows you to connect an event handler to a @e range
717 of @e source IDs.
718 Do not confuse @e source IDs with event @e types: source IDs identify the
719 event generator objects (typically wxMenuItem or wxWindow objects) while the

729 handler function.
730 @param eventType
731 The event type to be associated with this event handler.

733 The event handler function. Note that this function should
734 be explicitly converted to the correct type which can be done using a macro
735 called @c wxFooEventHandler for the handler for any @c wxFooEvent.
736 @param userData
737 Optional data to be associated with the event table entry.
738 wxWidgets will take ownership of this pointer, i.e. it will be

742 @param eventSink

745 function of a different object. If it is omitted, @c this is used.

1293 @class wxKeyEvent
1294
1295 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
1296
1297 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1298 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1299 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1300 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1301 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1302 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1303 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1304 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1305 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1306 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1307 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1308 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1309 to a non-printable special keys.
1310
1311 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1312 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1313 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1314 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1315 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1316 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1317 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1318 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1319 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1320 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1321 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1322 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1323 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1324
1325 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1326 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1327 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1328 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1329 codes are defined as follows:
1330 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1331 letter.
1332 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1333 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1334 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1335 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1336 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1337 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1338 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1339
1340 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1341 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1342 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1343 WXK_NONE in this case.
1344
1345 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1346 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1347 independent of the current keyboard state.
1348
1349 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1350 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1351 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1352 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1353 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1354 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1355 enter on their keyboard.
1356
1357
1358 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1359 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1360 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1361 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1362 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1363 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1364 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1365 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1366 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1367 to 31.
1368 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1369 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
1370
1371 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1372 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1373 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
1374
1375 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1376 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1377 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1378 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1379 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1380 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1381 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1382 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1383 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1384 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1385 return false.
1386
1387
1388 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1389 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1390 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1391
1392 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1393 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1394 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1395 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1396 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1397 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1398 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1399 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1400
1401 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1402 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1403 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1404 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1405
1406 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1407 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1408 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1409 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1410 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1411 char events too.
1412
1413
1414 @beginEventTable{wxKeyEvent}
1415 @event{EVT_KEY_DOWN(func)}
1416 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this
1417 event is handled and not skipped, @c wxEVT_CHAR will not be generated
1418 at all for this key press (but @c wxEVT_KEY_UP will be).
1419 @event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
1420 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
1421 @event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
1422 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
1423 @event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
1424 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1425 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1426 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1427 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1428 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1429 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1430 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1431 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
1432 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1433 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1434 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1435 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1436 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1437 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1438 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1439 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1440 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1441 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1442 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1443 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1444 with their processing.

1906
1907 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
1908
1909 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1910 painting the window contents. For example:
1911 @code
1912 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1913 {
1914 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1915
1916 DrawMyDocument(dc);
1917 }

1919
1920 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1921 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1922 of this event handlers.
1923
1924
1925 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1926 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1927 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1928 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1929 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1930 @code
1931 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1932 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1933 {
1934 wxPaintDC dc(this);
1935
1936 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
1937 int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
1938 GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
1939
1940 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1941 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
1942
1943 while (upd)
1944 {
1945 vX = upd.GetX();
1946 vY = upd.GetY();
1947 vW = upd.GetW();

2035 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
2036
2037 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
2038 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
2039
2040 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
2041 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
2042 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
2043 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
2044
2045 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
2046 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
2047 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
2048
2049 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
2050 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
2051 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
2052 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
2053 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
2054 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
2055
2056 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
2057 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
2058 owns the menu.
2059
2060 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
2061 you can do one or both of the following:
2062 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
2063 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
2064 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
2065 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
2066 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
2067 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
2068 delay before windows are updated.
2069
2070 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
2071 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
2072 which is always called in idle time.
2073
2074 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
2075 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
2076 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2239
2240 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2241 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
2242
2243 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2244 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2245 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2246 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2247 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2248 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
2249
2250 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2251 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2252 text was copied or cut.

2296 @class wxMouseEvent
2297
2298 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2299 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
2300
2301 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2302 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2303 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2304 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2305 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2306 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2307 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2308 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2309
2310 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2311 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2312 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2313 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2314 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2315
2316 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2317 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2318 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2319 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2320 another window.
2321
2322 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2323 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2324 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2325 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2326
2327 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
2328 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2329 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2330 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2331 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2332 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2333 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2334 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2335 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2336 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2337 buttons as well.

3449 @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
3450
3451 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3452 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3453 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
3454
3455 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3456 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3457 event does not happen).
3458
3459 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3460 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3461 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3462
3463 @remarks
3464 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3465 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3466 are processed using the same event handler.

3561 @class wxIdleEvent
3562
3563 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3564 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3565 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3566 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3567 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3568
3569 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3570 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3571 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3572 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3573 if possible.
3574
3575 By default, idle events are sent to all windows, including even the hidden
3576 ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
3577 wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
3578 windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
3579 in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
3580 receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
3581 processing.
3582
3583 If sending idle events to all windows is causing a significant overhead in
3584 your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value
3585 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
3586 style for every window which should receive idle events, all the other ones
3587 will not receive them in this case.

3597 @section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
3598
3599 wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
3600 This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
3601 something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
3602 mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
3603 be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
3604 again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
3605 want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
3606 called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
3607
3608 This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
3609 you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
3610 handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
3611 called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
3612 and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
3613 same action again.
3614
3615 Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
3616 original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
3617 wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
3618 then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.

3711 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by

3714 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you

3875 @class wxCloseEvent
3876
3877 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3878
3879 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3880 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3881 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3882 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3883
3884 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3885 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3886 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3887
3888 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3889 the window.
3890
3891 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3892 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3893 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3894 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3895
3896 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3897
3898 @code
3899 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3900 {
3901 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3902 {
3903 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3904 "Please confirm",
3905 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3906 {
3907 event.Veto();
3908 return;
3909 }
3910 }
3911
3912 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3913 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3914 }
3915 @endcode
3916
3917 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3918 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3919 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3920 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3921 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3922 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3923 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3924 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3925 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3926 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3927 will still kill your application).

4191 A size event holds information about size change events of wxWindow.
4192
4193 The EVT_SIZE handler function will be called when the window has been resized.
4194
4195 You may wish to use this for frames to resize their child windows as appropriate.

4197 Note that the size passed is of the whole window: call wxWindow::GetClientSize()
4198 for the area which may be used by the application.
4199
4200 When a window is resized, usually only a small part of the window is damaged
4201 and you may only need to repaint that area. However, if your drawing depends on the
4202 size of the window, you may need to clear the DC explicitly and repaint the whole window.
4203 In which case, you may need to call wxWindow::Refresh to invalidate the entire window.
4204
4205 @b Important : Sizers ( see @ref overview_sizer ) rely on size events to function
4206 correctly. Therefore, in a sizer-based layout, do not forget to call Skip on all
4207 size events you catch (and don't catch size events at all when you don't need to).
