405 Queue event for a later processing.
406
407 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
408 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
409 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
410 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
411 the next event loop iteration).
412
413 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
414 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
415 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
416 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
417 moment).
418
419 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
420 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
421 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
422 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
423 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
424 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
425 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
426 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
427 the scenes. For example:
428 @code
429 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
430 {
431 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
432
433 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
434 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
435
436 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
437 }
438 @endcode
439
440 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
441 to avoid this problem:
442 @code
443 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
444 {
445 wxThreadEvent evt;
446 evt->SetString(str);
447
448 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
449 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
450 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
451 }
452 @endcode
453
454 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
455 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
456 to do it manually when using it.

496 break the mouse capture state -- but you can call a method showing

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

710 Connect() is not formally deprecated due to its existing widespread
711 usage, it has no advantages compared to Bind().
712
713 This is an alternative to the use of static event tables. It is more
714 flexible as it allows to connect events generated by some object to an
715 event handler defined in a different object of a different class (which
716 is impossible to do directly with the event tables -- the events can be
717 only handled in another object if they are propagated upwards to it).
718 Do make sure to specify the correct @a eventSink when connecting to an
719 event of a different object.

722 of this function and the @ref page_samples_event sample for usage
723 examples.
724
725 This specific overload allows you to connect an event handler to a @e range
726 of @e source IDs.
727 Do not confuse @e source IDs with event @e types: source IDs identify the
728 event generator objects (typically wxMenuItem or wxWindow objects) while the
729 event @e type identify which type of events should be handled by the
730 given @e function (an event generator object may generate many different

735 handler function.
736 @param lastId

738 handler function.
739 @param eventType
740 The event type to be associated with this event handler.
741 @param function
742 The event handler function. Note that this function should
743 be explicitly converted to the correct type which can be done using a macro
744 called @c wxFooEventHandler for the handler for any @c wxFooEvent.
745 @param userData
746 Optional data to be associated with the event table entry.
747 wxWidgets will take ownership of this pointer, i.e. it will be

751 @param eventSink

753 when connecting an event generated by one object to a member
754 function of a different object. If it is omitted, @c this is used.

1305 @class wxKeyEvent
1306
1307 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
1308
1309 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1310 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1311 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1312 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1313 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1314 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1315 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1316 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1317 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1318 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1319 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1320 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1321 to a non-printable special keys.
1322
1323 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1324 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1325 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1326 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1327 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1328 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1329 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1330 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1331 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1332 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1333 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1334 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1335 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1336
1337 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1338 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1339 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1340 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1341 codes are defined as follows:
1342 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1343 letter.
1344 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1345 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1346 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1347 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1348 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1349 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1350 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1351
1352 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1353 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1354 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1355 WXK_NONE in this case.
1356
1357 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1358 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1359 independent of the current keyboard state.
1360
1361 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1362 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1363 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1364 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1365 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1366 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1367 enter on their keyboard.
1368
1369
1370 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1371 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1372 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1373 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1374 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1375 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1376 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1377 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1378 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1379 to 31.
1380 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1381 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
1382
1383 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1384 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1385 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
1386
1387 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1388 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1389 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1390 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1391 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1392 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1393 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1394 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1395 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1396 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1397 return false.
1398
1399
1400 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1401 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1402 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1403
1404 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1405 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1406 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1407 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1408 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1409 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1410 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1411 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1412
1413 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1414 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1415 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1416 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1417
1418 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1419 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1420 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1421 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1422 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1423 char events too.
1424
1425
1426 @beginEventTable{wxKeyEvent}
1427 @event{EVT_KEY_DOWN(func)}
1428 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this
1429 event is handled and not skipped, @c wxEVT_CHAR will not be generated
1430 at all for this key press (but @c wxEVT_KEY_UP will be).
1431 @event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
1432 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
1433 @event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
1434 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
1435 @event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
1436 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1437 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1438 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1439 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1440 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1441 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1442 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1443 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
1444 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1445 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1446 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1447 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1448 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1449 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1450 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1451 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1452 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1453 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1454 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1455 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1456 with their processing.

2121 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.

2124 painting the window contents. For example:
2125 @code
2126 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
2127 {
2128 wxPaintDC dc(this);
2129
2130 DrawMyDocument(dc);

2135 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
2136 of this event handlers.
2137
2138
2139 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
2140 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
2141 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
2142 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
2143 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
2144 @code
2145 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
2146 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
2147 {
2148 wxPaintDC dc(this);
2149
2150 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
2151 int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
2152 GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
2153
2154 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
2155 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
2156
2157 while (upd)

2159 vX = upd.GetX();
2160 vY = upd.GetY();
2161 vW = upd.GetW();
2162 vH = upd.GetH();
2163
2164 // Alternatively we can do this:
2165 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());
2166
2167 // Repaint this rectangle

2249 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
2250
2251 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
2252 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
2253
2254 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
2255 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
2256 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
2257 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
2258
2259 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
2260 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
2261 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
2262
2263 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
2264 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
2265 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
2266 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
2267 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
2268 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
2269
2270 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
2271 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
2272 owns the menu.
2273
2274 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
2275 you can do one or both of the following:
2276 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
2277 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
2278 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
2279 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
2280 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
2281 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
2282 delay before windows are updated.
2283
2284 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
2285 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
2286 which is always called in idle time.
2287
2288 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
2289 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
2290 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2450 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2451 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2452 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
2453
2454 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_TEXT_COPY,
2455 @c wxEVT_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_TEXT_PASTE.
2456
2457 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2458 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2459 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2460 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2461 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2462 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
2463
2464 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2465 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2466 text was copied or cut.
2467
2468 @note
2469 These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl in wxGTK and wxOSX
2470 but are also generated by wxComboBox without wxCB_READONLY style in wxMSW.

2510 @class wxMouseEvent
2511
2512 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2513 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
2514
2515 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2516 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2517 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2518 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2519 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2520 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2521 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2522 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2523
2524 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2525 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2526 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2527 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2528 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2529
2530 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2531 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2532 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2533 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2534 another window.
2535
2536 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2537 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2538 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2539 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2540
2541 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
2542 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2543 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2544 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2545 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2546 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2547 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2548 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2549 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2550 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse
2551 buttons as well.

3465 @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
3466
3467 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3468 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3469 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
3470
3471 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3472 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3473 event does not happen).
3474
3475 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3476 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3477 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3478
3479 @remarks
3480 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3481 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3482 are processed using the same event handler.

3581 @class wxIdleEvent
3582
3583 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3584 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3585 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3586 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3587 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3588
3589 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3590 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3591 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3592 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3593 if possible.
3594
3595 By default, idle events are sent to all windows, including even the hidden
3596 ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
3597 wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
3598 windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
3599 in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
3600 receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
3601 processing.
3602
3603 If sending idle events to all windows is causing a significant overhead in
3604 your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value
3605 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
3606 style for every window which should receive idle events, all the other ones
3607 will not receive them in this case.

3616
3617 @section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
3618
3619 wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
3620 This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
3621 something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
3622 mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
3623 be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
3624 again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
3625 want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
3626 called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
3627
3628 This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
3629 you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
3630 handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
3631 called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
3632 and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
3633 same action again.
3634
3635 Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
3636 original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
3637 wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
3638 then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.

3898
3899 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3900
3901 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3902 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3903 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3904 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3905
3906 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3907 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3908 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3909
3910 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3911 the window.
3912
3913 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3914 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3915 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3916 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3917
3918 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3919
3920 @code
3921 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3922 {
3923 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3924 {
3925 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3926 "Please confirm",
3927 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3928 {
3929 event.Veto();
3930 return;
3931 }
3932 }
3933
3934 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3935 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3936 }
3937 @endcode
3938
3939 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3940 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3941 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3942 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3943 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3944 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3945 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3946 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3947 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3948 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3949 will still kill your application).

4213 A size event holds information about size change events of wxWindow.

4215 The EVT_SIZE handler function will be called when the window has been resized.
4216
4217 You may wish to use this for frames to resize their child windows as appropriate.

4219 Note that the size passed is of the whole window: call wxWindow::GetClientSize()
4220 for the area which may be used by the application.
4221
4222 When a window is resized, usually only a small part of the window is damaged
4223 and you may only need to repaint that area. However, if your drawing depends on the
4224 size of the window, you may need to clear the DC explicitly and repaint the whole window.
4225 In which case, you may need to call wxWindow::Refresh to invalidate the entire window.
4226
4227 @b Important : Sizers ( see @ref overview_sizer ) rely on size events to function
4228 correctly. Therefore, in a sizer-based layout, do not forget to call Skip on all
4229 size events you catch (and don't catch size events at all when you don't need to).
