24 The different categories for a wxEvent; see wxEvent::GetEventCategory.
26 @note They are used as OR-combinable flags by wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor.
31 This is the category for those events which are generated to update
32 the appearance of the GUI but which (usually) do not comport data
33 processing, i.e. which do not provide input or output data
34 (e.g. size events, scroll events, etc).
35 They are events NOT directly generated by the user's input devices.
37 wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI
= 1,
40 This category groups those events which are generated directly from the
41 user through input devices like mouse and keyboard and usually result in
42 data to be processed from the application
43 (e.g. mouse clicks, key presses, etc).
45 wxEVT_CATEGORY_USER_INPUT
= 2,
47 /// This category is for wxSocketEvent
48 wxEVT_CATEGORY_SOCKET
= 4,
50 /// This category is for wxTimerEvent
51 wxEVT_CATEGORY_TIMER
= 8,
54 This category is for any event used to send notifications from the
55 secondary threads to the main one or in general for notifications among
56 different threads (which may or may not be user-generated).
57 See e.g. wxThreadEvent.
59 wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD

62 This mask is used in wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor to specify that all event
63 categories should be processed.

73 An event is a structure holding information about an event passed to a
74 callback or member function.
76 wxEvent used to be a multipurpose event object, and is an abstract base class
77 for other event classes (see below).
79 For more information about events, see the @ref overview_events overview.
82 In wxPerl custom event classes should be derived from
83 @c Wx::PlEvent and @c Wx::PlCommandEvent.
89 @see wxCommandEvent, wxMouseEvent
91 class wxEvent
: public wxObject
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.
105 Also please notice that the order of parameters in this constructor is
106 different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
107 type as the first argument.
110 The identifier of the object (window, timer, ...) which generated
113 The unique type of event, e.g. @c wxEVT_PAINT, @c wxEVT_SIZE or
114 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.
116 wxEvent(int id
= 0, wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
);
119 Returns a copy of the event.
121 Any event that is posted to the wxWidgets event system for later action
122 (via wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent, wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent or wxPostEvent())
123 must implement this method.
125 All wxWidgets events fully implement this method, but any derived events
126 implemented by the user should also implement this method just in case they
127 (or some event derived from them) are ever posted.
129 All wxWidgets events implement a copy constructor, so the easiest way of
130 implementing the Clone function is to implement a copy constructor for
131 a new event (call it MyEvent) and then define the Clone function like this:
134 wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }
137 virtual wxEvent
* Clone() const = 0;
140 Returns the object (usually a window) associated with the event, if any.
142 wxObject
* GetEventObject() const;
145 Returns the identifier of the given event type, such as @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.
147 wxEventType
GetEventType() const;
150 Returns a generic category for this event.
151 wxEvent implementation returns @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_UI by default.
153 This function is used to selectively process events in wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor.
155 virtual wxEventCategory
GetEventCategory() const;
158 Returns the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
163 Returns @true if the event handler should be skipped, @false otherwise.
165 bool GetSkipped() const;
168 Gets the timestamp for the event. The timestamp is the time in milliseconds
169 since some fixed moment (not necessarily the standard Unix Epoch, so only
170 differences between the timestamps and not their absolute values usually make sense).
173 wxWidgets returns a non-NULL timestamp only for mouse and key events
174 (see wxMouseEvent and wxKeyEvent).
176 long GetTimestamp() const;
179 Returns @true if the event is or is derived from wxCommandEvent else it returns @false.
181 @note exists only for optimization purposes.
183 bool IsCommandEvent() const;
186 Sets the propagation level to the given value (for example returned from an
187 earlier call to wxEvent::StopPropagation).
189 void ResumePropagation(int propagationLevel
);
192 Sets the originating object.
194 void SetEventObject(wxObject
* object
);
199 void SetEventType(wxEventType type
);
202 Sets the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
207 Sets the timestamp for the event.
209 void SetTimestamp(long timeStamp
= 0);
212 Test if this event should be propagated or not, i.e. if the propagation level
213 is currently greater than 0.
215 bool ShouldPropagate() const;
218 This method can be used inside an event handler to control whether further
219 event handlers bound to this event will be called after the current one returns.
221 Without Skip() (or equivalently if Skip(@false) is used), the event will not
222 be processed any more. If Skip(@true) is called, the event processing system
223 continues searching for a further handler function for this event, even though
224 it has been processed already in the current handler.
226 In general, it is recommended to skip all non-command events to allow the
227 default handling to take place. The command events are, however, normally not
228 skipped as usually a single command such as a button click or menu item
229 selection must only be processed by one handler.
231 void Skip(bool skip
= true);
234 Stop the event from propagating to its parent window.
236 Returns the old propagation level value which may be later passed to
237 ResumePropagation() to allow propagating the event again.
239 int StopPropagation();
243 Indicates how many levels the event can propagate.
245 This member is protected and should typically only be set in the constructors
246 of the derived classes. It may be temporarily changed by StopPropagation()
247 and ResumePropagation() and tested with ShouldPropagate().
249 The initial value is set to either @c wxEVENT_PROPAGATE_NONE (by default)
250 meaning that the event shouldn't be propagated at all or to
251 @c wxEVENT_PROPAGATE_MAX (for command events) meaning that it should be
252 propagated as much as necessary.
254 Any positive number means that the event should be propagated but no more than
255 the given number of times. E.g. the propagation level may be set to 1 to
256 propagate the event to its parent only, but not to its grandparent.
258 int m_propagationLevel
;
262 @class wxEventBlocker
264 This class is a special event handler which allows to discard
265 any event (or a set of event types) directed to a specific window.
270 void MyWindow::DoSomething()
273 // block all events directed to this window while
274 // we do the 1000 FunctionWhichSendsEvents() calls
275 wxEventBlocker blocker(this);
277 for ( int i = 0; i 1000; i++ )
278 FunctionWhichSendsEvents(i);
280 } // ~wxEventBlocker called, old event handler is restored
282 // the event generated by this call will be processed:
283 FunctionWhichSendsEvents(0)
290 @see @ref overview_events_processing, wxEvtHandler
292 class wxEventBlocker
: public wxEvtHandler
296 Constructs the blocker for the given window and for the given event type.
298 If @a type is @c wxEVT_ANY, then all events for that window are blocked.
299 You can call Block() after creation to add other event types to the list
302 Note that the @a win window @b must remain alive until the
303 wxEventBlocker object destruction.
305 wxEventBlocker(wxWindow
* win
, wxEventType type
= -1);
308 Destructor. The blocker will remove itself from the chain of event handlers for
309 the window provided in the constructor, thus restoring normal processing of events.
311 virtual ~wxEventBlocker();
314 Adds to the list of event types which should be blocked the given @a eventType.
316 void Block(wxEventType eventType
);
322 Helper class to temporarily change an event to not propagate.
324 class wxPropagationDisabler
327 wxPropagationDisabler(wxEvent
& event
);
328 ~wxPropagationDisabler();
333 Helper class to temporarily lower propagation level.
335 class wxPropagateOnce
338 wxPropagateOnce(wxEvent
& event
);
347 A class that can handle events from the windowing system.
348 wxWindow is (and therefore all window classes are) derived from this class.
350 When events are received, wxEvtHandler invokes the method listed in the
351 event table using itself as the object. When using multiple inheritance
352 <b>it is imperative that the wxEvtHandler(-derived) class is the first
353 class inherited</b> such that the @c this pointer for the overall object
354 will be identical to the @c this pointer of the wxEvtHandler portion.
359 @see @ref overview_events_processing, wxEventBlocker, wxEventLoopBase
361 class wxEvtHandler
: public wxObject
, public wxTrackable
372 If the handler is part of a chain, the destructor will unlink itself
375 virtual ~wxEvtHandler();
379 @name Event queuing and processing
384 Queue event for a later processing.
386 This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
387 synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
388 function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
389 while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
390 the next event loop iteration).
392 Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
393 @a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
394 the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
395 used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
398 QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
399 threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
400 locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
401 documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
402 calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
403 fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
404 the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
405 as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
406 the scenes. For example:
408 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
410 wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
412 // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
413 evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
415 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
419 Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
420 to avoid this problem:
422 void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
427 // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
428 // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
429 wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
433 Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
434 if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
435 to do it manually when using it.
440 A heap-allocated event to be queued, QueueEvent() takes ownership
441 of it. This parameter shouldn't be @c NULL.
443 virtual void QueueEvent(wxEvent
*event
);
446 Post an event to be processed later.
448 This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
449 events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
450 (i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
451 wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the
452 original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function
453 share the same string buffer internally. Use QueueEvent() to avoid
456 A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted
457 as soon as function returns (it is common that the original is created
458 on the stack). This requires that the wxEvent::Clone() method be
459 implemented by event so that it can be duplicated and stored until it
463 Event to add to the pending events queue.
465 virtual void AddPendingEvent(const wxEvent
& event
);
468 Processes an event, searching event tables and calling zero or more suitable
469 event handler function(s).
471 Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
472 wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
473 framework (and application).
475 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality
476 (such as a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to
477 allowing the user to override virtual functions.
479 Notice that you don't usually need to override ProcessEvent() to
480 customize the event handling, overriding the specially provided
481 TryBefore() and TryAfter() functions is usually enough. For example,
482 wxMDIParentFrame may override TryBefore() to ensure that the menu
483 events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
484 in the parent frame itself.
486 The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
487 -# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
488 (default) the processing stops here.
489 -# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
490 account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
491 -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
492 the function skips to step (7).
493 -# Dynamic event table of the handlers bound using Bind<>() is
494 searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
495 returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
496 that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
497 -# Static events table of the handlers bound using event table
498 macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
499 class event table is tried, and so on until no more tables
500 exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
501 the same logic as in the previous step applies.
502 -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
503 chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
504 @image html overview_events_chain.png
505 (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
506 the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
507 Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
508 (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
509 If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
510 -# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the
511 event to the window parent (recursively). If the event is still not
512 processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last
515 Notice that steps (2)-(6) are performed in ProcessEventLocally()
516 which is called by this function.
521 @true if a suitable event handler function was found and executed,
522 and the function did not call wxEvent::Skip.
524 @see SearchEventTable()
526 virtual bool ProcessEvent(wxEvent
& event
);
529 Try to process the event in this handler and all those chained to it.
531 As explained in ProcessEvent() documentation, the event handlers may be
532 chained in a doubly-linked list. This function tries to process the
533 event in this handler (including performing any pre-processing done in
534 TryBefore(), e.g. applying validators) and all those following it in
535 the chain until the event is processed or the chain is exhausted.
537 This function is called from ProcessEvent() and, in turn, calls
538 TryBefore() and TryAfter(). It is not virtual and so cannot be
539 overridden but can, and should, be called to forward an event to
540 another handler instead of ProcessEvent() which would result in a
541 duplicate call to TryAfter(), e.g. resulting in all unprocessed events
542 being sent to the application object multiple times.
549 @true if this handler of one of those chained to it processed the
552 bool ProcessEventLocally(wxEvent
& event
);
555 Processes an event by calling ProcessEvent() and handles any exceptions
556 that occur in the process.
557 If an exception is thrown in event handler, wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop is called.
562 @return @true if the event was processed, @false if no handler was found
563 or an exception was thrown.
565 @see wxWindow::HandleWindowEvent
567 bool SafelyProcessEvent(wxEvent
& event
);
570 Processes the pending events previously queued using QueueEvent() or
571 AddPendingEvent(); you must call this function only if you are sure
572 there are pending events for this handler, otherwise a @c wxCHECK
575 The real processing still happens in ProcessEvent() which is called by this
578 Note that this function needs a valid application object (see
579 wxAppConsole::GetInstance()) because wxApp holds the list of the event
580 handlers with pending events and this function manipulates that list.
582 void ProcessPendingEvents();
585 Deletes all events queued on this event handler using QueueEvent() or
588 Use with care because the events which are deleted are (obviously) not
589 processed and this may have unwanted consequences (e.g. user actions events
592 void DeletePendingEvents();
595 Searches the event table, executing an event handler function if an appropriate
599 Event table to be searched.
601 Event to be matched against an event table entry.
603 @return @true if a suitable event handler function was found and
604 executed, and the function did not call wxEvent::Skip.
606 @remarks This function looks through the object's event table and tries
607 to find an entry that will match the event.
608 An entry will match if:
609 @li The event type matches, and
610 @li the identifier or identifier range matches, or the event table
611 entry's identifier is zero.
613 If a suitable function is called but calls wxEvent::Skip, this
614 function will fail, and searching will continue.
616 @todo this function in the header is listed as an "implementation only" function;
617 are we sure we want to document it?

633 Connects the given function dynamically with the event handler, id and
636 Notice that Bind() provides a more flexible and safer way to do the
637 same thing as Connect(), please use it in any new code -- while
638 Connect() is not formally deprecated due to its existing widespread
639 usage, it has no advantages compared to Bind().
641 This is an alternative to the use of static event tables. It is more
642 flexible as it allows to connect events generated by some object to an
643 event handler defined in a different object of a different class (which
644 is impossible to do directly with the event tables -- the events can be
645 only handled in another object if they are propagated upwards to it).
646 Do make sure to specify the correct @a eventSink when connecting to an
647 event of a different object.

650 of this function and the @ref page_samples_event sample for usage
653 This specific overload allows you to connect an event handler to a @e range

801 This offers basically the same functionality as Connect(), but it is
802 more flexible as it also allows you to use ordinary functions and

1018 Enables or disables the event handler.
1021 @true if the event handler is to be enabled, @false if it is to be disabled.
1023 @remarks You can use this function to avoid having to remove the event
1024 handler from the chain, for example when implementing a
1025 dialog editor and changing from edit to test mode.
1027 @see GetEvtHandlerEnabled()
1029 void SetEvtHandlerEnabled(bool enabled
);
1032 Sets the pointer to the next handler.
1035 See ProcessEvent() for more info about how the chains of event handlers
1036 are internally used.
1037 Also remember that wxEvtHandler uses double-linked lists and thus if you
1038 use this function, you should also call SetPreviousHandler() on the
1039 argument passed to this function:
1041 handlerA->SetNextHandler(handlerB);
1042 handlerB->SetPreviousHandler(handlerA);
1046 The event handler to be set as the next handler.

1061 @see @ref overview_events_processing
1063 virtual void SetPreviousHandler(wxEvtHandler

1066 Unlinks this event handler from the chain it's part of (if any);
1067 then links the "previous" event handler to the "next" one
1068 (so that the chain won't be interrupted).
1070 E.g. if before calling Unlink() you have the following chain:
1071 @image html evthandler_unlink_before.png
1072 then after calling @c B->Unlink() you'll have:
1073 @image html evthandler_unlink_after.png
1080 Returns @true if the next and the previous handler pointers of this
1081 event handler instance are @NULL.
1085 @see SetPreviousHandler(), SetNextHandler()

1092 @name Global event filters.
1094 Methods for working with the global list of event filters.
1096 Event filters can be defined to pre-process all the events that happen
1097 in an application, see wxEventFilter documentation for more information.
1102 Add an event filter whose FilterEvent() method will be called for each
1103 and every event processed by wxWidgets.
1105 The filters are called in LIFO order and wxApp is registered as an
1106 event filter by default. The pointer must remain valid until it's
1107 removed with RemoveFilter() and is not deleted by wxEvtHandler.
1111 static void AddFilter(wxEventFilter
* filter
);
1114 Remove a filter previously installed with AddFilter().
1116 It's an error to remove a filter that hadn't been previously added or
1117 was already removed.
1121 static void RemoveFilter(wxEventFilter
* filter
);
1127 Method called by ProcessEvent() before examining this object event
1130 This method can be overridden to hook into the event processing logic
1131 as early as possible. You should usually call the base class version
1132 when overriding this method, even if wxEvtHandler itself does nothing
1133 here, some derived classes do use this method, e.g. wxWindow implements
1134 support for wxValidator in it.
1138 class MyClass : public BaseClass // inheriting from wxEvtHandler
1142 virtual bool TryBefore(wxEvent& event)
1144 if ( MyPreProcess(event) )
1147 return BaseClass::TryBefore(event);
1154 virtual bool TryBefore(wxEvent
& event
);
1157 Method called by ProcessEvent() as last resort.
1159 This method can be overridden to implement post-processing for the
1160 events which were not processed anywhere else.
1162 The base class version handles forwarding the unprocessed events to
1163 wxApp at wxEvtHandler level and propagating them upwards the window
1164 child-parent chain at wxWindow level and so should usually be called
1165 when overriding this method:
1167 class MyClass : public BaseClass // inheriting from wxEvtHandler
1171 virtual bool TryAfter(wxEvent& event)
1173 if ( BaseClass::TryAfter(event) )
1176 return MyPostProcess(event);
1183 virtual bool TryAfter(wxEvent
& event
);
1188 Flags for categories of keys.
1190 These values are used by wxKeyEvent::IsKeyInCategory(). They may be
1191 combined via the bitwise operators |, &, and ~.
1195 enum wxKeyCategoryFlags
1197 /// arrow keys, on and off numeric keypads
1200 /// page up and page down keys, on and off numeric keypads
1201 WXK_CATEGORY_PAGING
,
1203 /// home and end keys, on and off numeric keypads
1206 /// tab key, on and off numeric keypads
1209 /// backspace and delete keys, on and off numeric keypads
1212 /// union of WXK_CATEGORY_ARROW, WXK_CATEGORY_PAGING, and WXK_CATEGORY_JUMP categories
1213 WXK_CATEGORY_NAVIGATION
1220 This event class contains information about key press and release events.
1222 The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
1223 released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
1224 GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
1225 it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
1226 when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
1227 special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
1228 on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
1229 constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
1230 keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
1231 and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
1232 recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
1233 if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
1234 to a non-printable special keys.
1236 While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
1237 wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
1238 returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
1239 For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
1240 appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
1241 value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
1242 on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
1243 without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
1244 for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
1245 as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
1246 corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
1247 with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
1248 be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
1250 However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
1251 be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
1252 only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
1253 representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
1254 codes are defined as follows:
1255 - For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
1257 - For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
1258 key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
1259 pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
1260 untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
1261 the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
1262 - For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
1263 same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
1265 Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
1266 usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
1267 can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
1268 WXK_NONE in this case.
1270 To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
1271 key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
1272 independent of the current keyboard state.
1274 @note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
1275 @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
1276 standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
1277 = key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
1278 code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
1279 requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
1280 enter on their keyboard.
1283 Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
1284 translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
1285 char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
1286 ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
1287 26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
1288 completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
1289 is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
1290 Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
1291 \\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
1293 Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
1294 can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
1296 Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
1297 The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
1298 @c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
1300 Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
1301 keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
1302 wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
1303 pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
1304 an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
1305 convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
1306 already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
1307 event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
1308 and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
1309 itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
1313 @b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
1314 keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
1315 page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
1317 @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
1318 does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
1319 (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and enables the
1320 programs that handle both types of events to avoid processing the
1321 same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
1322 @c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
1323 event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
1324 prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
1326 @note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
1327 lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
1328 one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
1329 there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
1331 @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
1332 similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
1333 @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
1334 char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
1335 almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
1339 @beginEventTable{wxKeyEvent}
1340 @event{EVT_KEY_DOWN(func)}
1341 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this
1342 event is handled and not skipped, @c wxEVT_CHAR will not be generated
1343 at all for this key press (but @c wxEVT_KEY_UP will be).
1344 @event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
1345 Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
1346 @event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
1347 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
1348 @event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
1349 Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
1350 this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
1351 intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
1352 is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
1353 the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
1354 events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
1355 keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
1356 wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
1357 dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
1358 this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
1359 neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
1360 (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
1361 key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
1362 you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
1363 generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
1364 if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
1365 without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
1366 event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
1367 that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
1368 events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
1369 with their processing.
1372 @see wxKeyboardState
1377 class wxKeyEvent
: public wxEvent
,
1378 public wxKeyboardState
1383 Currently, the only valid event types are @c wxEVT_CHAR and @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK.
1385 wxKeyEvent(wxEventType keyEventType
= wxEVT_NULL
);
1388 Returns the key code of the key that generated this event.
1390 ASCII symbols return normal ASCII values, while events from special
1391 keys such as "left cursor arrow" (@c WXK_LEFT) return values outside of
1392 the ASCII range. See ::wxKeyCode for a full list of the virtual key
1395 Note that this method returns a meaningful value only for special
1396 non-alphanumeric keys or if the user entered a character that can be
1397 represented in current locale's default charset. Otherwise, e.g. if the
1398 user enters a Japanese character in a program not using Japanese
1399 locale, this method returns @c WXK_NONE and GetUnicodeKey() should be
1400 used to obtain the corresponding Unicode character.
1402 Using GetUnicodeKey() is in general the right thing to do if you are
1403 interested in the characters typed by the user, GetKeyCode() should be
1404 only used for special keys (for which GetUnicodeKey() returns @c
1405 WXK_NONE). To handle both kinds of keys you might write:
1407 void MyHandler::OnChar(wxKeyEvent& event)
1409 if ( event.GetUnicodeKey() != WXK_NONE )
1411 // It's a printable character
1412 wxLogMessage("You pressed '%c'", event.GetUnicodeKey());
1416 // It's a special key, deal with all the known ones:
1417 switch ( GetKeyCode() )
1432 int GetKeyCode() const;
1435 Returns true if the key is in the given key category.

1448 wxPoint
GetPosition() const;
1449 void GetPosition(long* x

1453 Returns the raw key code for this event.
1455 The flags are platform-dependent and should only be used if the
1456 functionality provided by other wxKeyEvent methods is insufficient.
1458 Under MSW, the raw key code is the value of @c wParam parameter of the
1459 corresponding message.
1461 Under GTK, the raw key code is the @c keyval field of the corresponding
1464 Under OS X, the raw key code is the @c keyCode field of the
1465 corresponding NSEvent.
1467 @note Currently the raw key codes are not supported by all ports, use
1468 @ifdef_ wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES to determine if this feature is available.
1470 wxUint32
GetRawKeyCode() const;
1473 Returns the low level key flags for this event.
1475 The flags are platform-dependent and should only be used if the
1476 functionality provided by other wxKeyEvent methods is insufficient.
1478 Under MSW, the raw flags are just the value of @c lParam parameter of
1479 the corresponding message.
1481 Under GTK, the raw flags contain the @c hardware_keycode field of the
1482 corresponding GDK event.
1484 Under OS X, the raw flags contain the modifiers state.
1486 @note Currently the raw key flags are not supported by all ports, use
1487 @ifdef_ wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES to determine if this feature is available.
1489 wxUint32
GetRawKeyFlags() const;
1492 Returns the Unicode character corresponding to this key event.
1494 If the key pressed doesn't have any character value (e.g. a cursor key)
1495 this method will return @c WXK_NONE. In this case you should use
1496 GetKeyCode() to retrieve the value of the key.
1498 This function is only available in Unicode build, i.e. when
1499 @c wxUSE_UNICODE is 1.
1501 wxChar

1514 Allow normal key events generation.
1516 Can be called from @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler to indicate that the
1517 generation of normal events should @em not be suppressed, as it happens
1518 by default when this event is handled.
1520 The intended use of this method is to allow some window object to
1521 prevent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler in its parent window from running by
1522 defining its own handler for this event. Without calling this method,
1523 this would result in not generating @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR
1524 events at all but by calling it you can ensure that these events would
1525 still be generated, even if @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event was handled.
1529 void DoAllowNextEvent();
1532 Returns @true if DoAllowNextEvent() had been called, @false by default.
1534 This method is used by wxWidgets itself to determine whether the normal
1535 key events should be generated after @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK processing.

1747 This class is used for system colour change events, which are generated
1748 when the user changes the colour settings using the control panel.
1749 This is only appropriate under Windows.
1752 The default event handler for this event propagates the event to child windows,
1753 since Windows only sends the events to top-level windows.
1754 If intercepting this event for a top-level window, remember to call the base
1755 class handler, or to pass the event on to the window's children explicitly.

1781 This event is sent just after the actual window associated with a wxWindow

1785 the window hierarchy.

1814 A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
1816 The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
1817 painting the window contents. For example:
1819 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1827 Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
1828 wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
1829 of this event handlers.
1832 You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
1833 and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
1834 and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
1835 view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
1836 Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
1838 // Called when window needs to be repainted.
1839 void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
1843 // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
1844 int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
1845 GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
1847 int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
1848 wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
1857 // Alternatively we can do this:
1858 // wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());
1860 // Repaint this rectangle
1869 Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
1870 standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
1871 paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
1872 inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.

1903 Currently this event is only generated in wxMSW, wxGTK, wxOSX/Cocoa and wxOS2

1905 not necessarily this event when the window is maximized.

1937 wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED
1942 @class wxUpdateUIEvent
1944 This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
1945 to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
1947 Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
1948 enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
1949 and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
1950 that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
1952 With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
1953 application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
1954 functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
1956 In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
1957 have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
1958 handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
1959 Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
1960 object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
1961 call has been made, and which UI element to update.
1963 These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
1964 popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
1967 If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
1968 you can do one or both of the following:
1969 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
1970 and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
1971 receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
1972 @li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
1973 between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
1974 for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
1975 delay before windows are updated.
1977 Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
1978 for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
1979 which is always called in idle time.
1981 wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
1982 On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
1983 to be shown, and not in idle time.

2007 Returns @true if it is appropriate to update (send UI update events to)
2010 This function looks at the mode used (see wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode),
2011 the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES flag in @a window, the time update events
2012 were last sent in idle time, and the update interval, to determine whether
2013 events should be sent to this window now. By default this will always
2014 return @true because the update mode is initially wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_ALL
2015 and the interval is set to 0; so update events will be sent as often as
2016 possible. You can reduce the frequency that events are sent by changing the
2017 mode and/or setting an update interval.

2141 @class wxClipboardTextEvent
2143 This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a
2144 wxTextCtrl but other windows can generate these events as well) when its
2145 content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
2147 There are three types of corresponding events @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
2148 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
2150 If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
2151 handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
2152 prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
2153 possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
2154 transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
2155 changing its case or removing invalid characters.
2157 Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
2158 makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
2159 text was copied or cut.
2162 These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl in wxGTK and wxOSX
2163 but are also generated by wxComboBox without wxCB_READONLY style in wxMSW.

2191 Possible axis values for mouse wheel scroll events.
2195 enum wxMouseWheelAxis
2197 wxMOUSE_WHEEL_VERTICAL
, ///< Vertical scroll event.
2198 wxMOUSE_WHEEL_HORIZONTAL
///< Horizontal scroll event.
2205 This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
2206 they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
2208 All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
2209 left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
2210 @c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
2211 buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
2212 can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
2213 portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
2214 button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
2215 under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
2217 For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
2218 purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
2219 window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
2220 parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
2221 mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
2223 The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
2224 coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
2225 wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
2226 call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
2229 @note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
2230 supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
2231 drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
2232 left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
2234 @note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
2235 the inherited wxMouseState::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when
2236 the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
2237 returns @true if the left mouse button is currently being pressed.
2238 For example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
2239 wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse button is
2240 (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
2241 returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in
2242 wxWidgets whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
2243 platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse

2248 @event{EVT_LEFT_DOWN(func)}

2443 Current devices all send an event when rotation is at least +/-WheelDelta, but
2444 finer resolution devices can be created in the future.
2446 Because of this you shouldn't assume that one event is equal to 1 line, but you
2447 should be able to either do partial line scrolling or wait until several

2453 Gets the axis the wheel operation concerns.
2455 Usually the mouse wheel is used to scroll vertically so @c
2456 wxMOUSE_WHEEL_VERTICAL is returned but some mice (and most trackpads)
2457 also allow to use the wheel to scroll horizontally in which case
2458 @c wxMOUSE_WHEEL_HORIZONTAL is returned.
2460 Notice that before wxWidgets 2.9.4 this method returned @c int.
2462 wxMouseWheelAxis
GetWheelAxis() const;
2465 Returns @true if the event was a mouse button event (not necessarily a button
2466 down event - that may be tested using ButtonDown()).
2468 bool IsButton() const;
2471 Returns @true if the system has been setup to do page scrolling with
2472 the mouse wheel instead of line scrolling.
2474 bool IsPageScroll() const;
2477 Returns @true if the mouse was leaving the window.
2481 bool Leaving() const;
2484 Returns @true if the event was a left double click.

2489 Returns @true if the left mouse button changed to down.
2491 bool LeftDown() const;
2494 Returns @true if the left mouse button changed to up.

2514 Returns @true if the middle mouse button changed to up.
2516 bool MiddleUp() const;
2519 Returns @true if this was a motion event and no mouse buttons were pressed.
2520 If any mouse button is held pressed, then this method returns @false and
2521 Dragging() returns @true.
2523 bool Moving() const;
2526 Returns @true if the event was a right double click.
2528 bool RightDClick() const;

2544 @class wxDropFilesEvent
2546 This class is used for drop files events, that is, when files have been dropped
2547 onto the window. This functionality is currently only available under Windows.
2549 The window must have previously been enabled for dropping by calling
2550 wxWindow::DragAcceptFiles().
2552 Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general drag and drop
2553 implementation documented in the @ref overview_dnd. It uses the older, Windows
2554 message-based approach of dropping files.
2556 @beginEventTable{wxDropFilesEvent}

2597 @class wxCommandEvent
2599 This event class contains information about command events, which originate
2600 from a variety of simple controls.
2602 Note that wxCommandEvents and wxCommandEvent-derived event classes by default
2603 and unlike other wxEvent-derived classes propagate upward from the source
2604 window (the window which emits the event) up to the first parent which processes
2605 the event. Be sure to read @ref overview_events_propagation.
2607 More complex controls, such as wxTreeCtrl, have separate command event classes.

2652 to generate such events.
2653 @event{EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN(id, func)}
2654 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_MAXLEN command, which is generated by a wxTextCtrl control

2669 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TOOL_ENTER event. Pass the id of the toolbar itself.
2670 The value of wxCommandEvent::GetSelection() is the tool id, or -1 if the mouse cursor
2671 has moved off a tool. (Not available on wxOSX.)
2672 @event{EVT_COMMAND_LEFT_CLICK(id, func)}
2673 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LEFT_CLICK command, which is generated by a control (wxMSW only).

2689 class wxCommandEvent
: public wxEvent
2695 wxCommandEvent(wxEventType commandEventType
= wxEVT_NULL
, int id
= 0);
2698 Returns client data pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
2699 (not valid for a deselection).
2701 void* GetClientData() const;
2704 Returns client object pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
2705 (not valid for a deselection).
2707 wxClientData
* GetClientObject() const;
2710 Returns extra information dependent on the event objects type.
2712 If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is a boolean
2713 determining whether the event was a selection (@true) or a
2714 deselection (@false). A listbox deselection only occurs for
2715 multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
2716 are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.
2718 long GetExtraLong() const;
2721 Returns the integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
2722 radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a deselection),
2723 or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
2725 For a menu item, this method returns -1 if the item is not checkable or
2726 a boolean value (true or false) for checkable items indicating the new
2732 Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
2735 int GetSelection() const;
2738 Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event. If one
2739 or several items have been deselected, returns the index of the first
2740 deselected item. If some items have been selected and others deselected
2741 at the same time, it will return the index of the first selected item.
2743 wxString
GetString() const;
2746 This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the
2747 method returns @true for a selection event and @false for a deselection one.
2748 For the menu events, this method indicates if the menu item just has become
2749 checked or unchecked (and thus only makes sense for checkable menu items).
2751 Notice that this method cannot be used with wxCheckListBox currently.
2753 bool IsChecked() const;
2756 For a listbox or similar event, returns @true if it is a selection, @false
2757 if it is a deselection. If some items have been selected and others deselected
2758 at the same time, it will return @true.
2760 bool IsSelection() const;
2763 Sets the client data for this event.
2765 void SetClientData(void* clientData
);
2768 Sets the client object for this event. The client object is not owned by the
2769 event object and the event object will not delete the client object in its destructor.
2771 The client object must be owned and deleted by another object (e.g. a control)
2772 that has longer life time than the event object.
2774 void SetClientObject(wxClientData
* clientObject
);
2777 Sets the @b m_extraLong member.
2779 void SetExtraLong(long extraLong
);

);
2787 Sets the @b m_commandString member.
2789 void SetString(const wxString
& string

2795 @class wxActivateEvent
2797 An activate event is sent when a window or application is being activated
2800 @beginEventTable{wxActivateEvent}
2801 @event{EVT_ACTIVATE(func)}
2802 Process a @c wxEVT_ACTIVATE event.
2803 @event{EVT_ACTIVATE_APP(func)}
2804 Process a @c wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP event.
2805 This event is received by the wxApp-derived instance only.
2806 @event{EVT_HIBERNATE(func)}
2807 Process a hibernate event, supplying the member function. This event applies
2808 to wxApp only, and only on Windows SmartPhone and PocketPC.
2809 It is generated when the system is low on memory; the application should free
2810 up as much memory as possible, and restore full working state when it receives
2811 a @c wxEVT_ACTIVATE or @c wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP event.
2817 @see @ref overview_events, wxApp::IsActive
2819 class wxActivateEvent
: public wxEvent
2825 wxActivateEvent(wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
, bool active
= true,
2829 Returns @true if the application or window is being activated, @false otherwise.
2831 bool GetActive() const;
2837 @class wxContextMenuEvent
2839 This class is used for context menu events, sent to give
2840 the application a chance to show a context (popup) menu for a wxWindow.
2842 Note that if wxContextMenuEvent::GetPosition returns wxDefaultPosition, this
2843 means that the event originated from a keyboard context button event, and you
2844 should compute a suitable position yourself, for example by calling wxGetMousePosition().
2846 When a keyboard context menu button is pressed on Windows, a right-click event
2847 with default position is sent first, and if this event is not processed, the
2848 context menu event is sent. So if you process mouse events and you find your
2849 context menu event handler is not being called, you could call wxEvent::Skip()
2850 for mouse right-down events.
2852 @beginEventTable{wxContextMenuEvent}
2853 @event{EVT_CONTEXT_MENU(func)}
2854 A right click (or other context menu command depending on platform) has been detected.
2861 @see wxCommandEvent, @ref overview_events

: public wxCommandEvent
2869 wxContextMenuEvent(wxEventType type
= wxEVT_NULL
, int id
= 0,
2870 const wxPoint
& pos
= wxDefaultPosition
);
2873 Returns the position in screen coordinates at which the menu should be shown.
2874 Use wxWindow::ScreenToClient to convert to client coordinates.
2876 You can also omit a position from wxWindow::PopupMenu in order to use
2877 the current mouse pointer position.
2879 If the event originated from a keyboard event, the value returned from this
2880 function will be wxDefaultPosition.
2882 const wxPoint
& GetPosition() const;
2885 Sets the position at which the menu should be shown.
2887 void SetPosition(const wxPoint
& point
);
2895 An erase event is sent when a window's background needs to be repainted.
2897 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just
2898 before the paint event) and may cause flicker. It is therefore recommended that
2899 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
2900 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.
2902 To intercept this event, use the EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND macro in an event table
2905 You must use the device context returned by GetDC() to draw on, don't create
2906 a wxPaintDC in the event handler.
2908 @beginEventTable{wxEraseEvent}
2909 @event{EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND(func)}
2910 Process a @c wxEVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND event.
2916 @see @ref overview_events
2918 class wxEraseEvent
: public wxEvent
2924 wxEraseEvent(int id
= 0, wxDC
* dc
= NULL
);
2927 Returns the device context associated with the erase event to draw on.
2929 The returned pointer is never @NULL.
2931 wxDC
* GetDC() const;
2939 A focus event is sent when a window's focus changes. The window losing focus
2940 receives a "kill focus" event while the window gaining it gets a "set focus" one.
2942 Notice that the set focus event happens both when the user gives focus to the
2943 window (whether using the mouse or keyboard) and when it is done from the
2944 program itself using wxWindow::SetFocus.
2946 The focus event handlers should almost invariably call wxEvent::Skip() on
2947 their event argument to allow the default handling to take place. Failure
2948 to do this may result in incorrect behaviour of the native controls. Also
2949 note that wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS handler must not call wxWindow::SetFocus() as
2950 this, again, is not supported by all native controls. If you need to do
2951 this, consider using the @ref sec_delayed_action described in wxIdleEvent
2954 @beginEventTable{wxFocusEvent}
2955 @event{EVT_SET_FOCUS(func)}
2956 Process a @c wxEVT_SET_FOCUS event.

2966 class wxFocusEvent
: public wxEvent
2972 wxFocusEvent(wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
, int id
= 0);
2975 Returns the window associated with this event, that is the window which had the
2976 focus before for the @c wxEVT_SET_FOCUS event and the window which is
2977 going to receive focus for the @c wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS one.
2979 Warning: the window pointer may be @NULL!
2981 wxWindow
*GetWindow() const;
2983 void SetWindow(wxWindow
*win

2989 @class wxChildFocusEvent
2991 A child focus event is sent to a (parent-)window when one of its child windows
2992 gains focus, so that the window could restore the focus back to its corresponding
2993 child if it loses it now and regains later.
2995 Notice that child window is the direct child of the window receiving event.
2996 Use wxWindow::FindFocus() to retrieve the window which is actually getting focus.
2998 @beginEventTable{wxChildFocusEvent}
2999 @event{EVT_CHILD_FOCUS(func)}
3000 Process a @c wxEVT_CHILD_FOCUS event.

3015 The direct child which is (or which contains the window which is) receiving
3018 wxChildFocusEvent(wxWindow

3021 Returns the direct child which receives the focus, or a (grand-)parent of the
3022 control receiving the focus.
3024 To get the actually focused control use wxWindow::FindFocus.
3026 wxWindow
*GetWindow() const;
3032 @class wxMouseCaptureLostEvent
3034 A mouse capture lost event is sent to a window that had obtained mouse capture,
3035 which was subsequently lost due to an "external" event (for example, when a dialog
3036 box is shown or if another application captures the mouse).
3038 If this happens, this event is sent to all windows that are on the capture stack
3039 (i.e. called CaptureMouse, but didn't call ReleaseMouse yet). The event is
3040 not sent if the capture changes because of a call to CaptureMouse or
3043 This event is currently emitted under Windows only.
3045 @beginEventTable{wxMouseCaptureLostEvent}
3046 @event{EVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST(func)}

3099 @class wxNotifyEvent
3101 This class is not used by the event handlers by itself, but is a base class
3102 for other event classes (such as wxBookCtrlEvent).
3104 It (or an object of a derived class) is sent when the controls state is being
3105 changed and allows the program to wxNotifyEvent::Veto() this change if it wants
3106 to prevent it from happening.
3111 @see wxBookCtrlEvent
3113 class wxNotifyEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
3117 Constructor (used internally by wxWidgets only).
3119 wxNotifyEvent(wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_NULL
, int id
= 0);
3122 This is the opposite of Veto(): it explicitly allows the event to be processed.
3123 For most events it is not necessary to call this method as the events are allowed
3124 anyhow but some are forbidden by default (this will be mentioned in the corresponding
3130 Returns @true if the change is allowed (Veto() hasn't been called) or @false
3131 otherwise (if it was).
3133 bool IsAllowed() const;
3136 Prevents the change announced by this event from happening.
3138 It is in general a good idea to notify the user about the reasons for vetoing
3139 the change because otherwise the applications behaviour (which just refuses to
3140 do what the user wants) might be quite surprising.
3147 @class wxThreadEvent
3149 This class adds some simple functionality to wxEvent to facilitate
3150 inter-thread communication.
3152 This event is not natively emitted by any control/class: it is just
3153 a helper class for the user.
3154 Its most important feature is the GetEventCategory() implementation which
3155 allows thread events @b NOT to be processed by wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor calls
3156 (unless the @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD is specified - which is never in wx code).
3159 @category{events,threading}
3161 @see @ref overview_thread, wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor
3165 class wxThreadEvent
: public wxEvent
3171 wxThreadEvent(wxEventType eventType
= wxEVT_THREAD
, int id
= wxID_ANY
);
3174 Clones this event making sure that all internal members which use
3175 COW (only @c m_commandString for now; see @ref overview_refcount)
3176 are unshared (see wxObject::UnShare).
3178 virtual wxEvent
*Clone() const;
3181 Returns @c wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD.
3183 This is important to avoid unwanted processing of thread events
3184 when calling wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor().
3186 virtual wxEventCategory
GetEventCategory() const;
3189 Sets custom data payload.
3191 The @a payload argument may be of any type that wxAny can handle
3192 (i.e. pretty much anything). Note that T's copy constructor must be
3193 thread-safe, i.e. create a copy that doesn't share anything with
3194 the original (see Clone()).

3255 A help event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help.
3256 This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode
3257 via wxContextHelp, or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when
3258 the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
3260 A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
3261 up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
3264 The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
3265 clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()
3266 if the identifier is unrecognised.
3268 Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
3269 events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to
3270 show help for container windows, since processing would stop after the first window

3342 @class wxScrollEvent
3344 A scroll event holds information about events sent from stand-alone
3345 scrollbars (see wxScrollBar) and sliders (see wxSlider).
3347 Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
3348 wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
3349 events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
3352 @section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
3354 The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
3355 using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
3356 by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
3358 The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
3359 position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
3360 event does not happen).
3362 In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
3363 independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
3364 to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
3367 Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
3368 orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
3369 are processed using the same event handler.
3371 @beginEventTable{wxScrollEvent}
3372 You can use EVT_COMMAND_SCROLL... macros with window IDs for when intercepting
3373 scroll events from controls, or EVT_SCROLL... macros without window IDs for

3459 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED
3466 This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
3467 idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
3468 sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
3469 event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
3470 happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
3472 If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
3473 wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
3474 (for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
3475 (and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
3478 By default, idle events are sent to all windows, including even the hidden
3479 ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
3480 wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
3481 windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
3482 in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
3483 receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
3486 If sending idle events to all windows is causing a significant overhead in
3487 your application, you can call wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value
3488 wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window
3489 style for every window which should receive idle events, all the other ones
3490 will not receive them in this case.
3492 @beginEventTable{wxIdleEvent}
3493 @event{EVT_IDLE(func)}
3494 Process a @c wxEVT_IDLE event.
3500 @section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
3502 wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
3503 This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
3504 something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
3505 mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
3506 be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
3507 again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
3508 want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
3509 called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
3511 This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
3512 you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
3513 handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
3514 called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
3515 and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
3518 Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
3519 original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
3520 wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
3521 then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.
3524 @see @ref overview_events, wxUpdateUIEvent, wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
3526 class wxIdleEvent
: public wxEvent
3535 Static function returning a value specifying how wxWidgets will send idle
3536 events: to all windows, or only to those which specify that they
3537 will process the events.
3541 static wxIdleMode
GetMode();
3544 Returns @true if the OnIdle function processing this event requested more
3549 bool MoreRequested() const;
3552 Tells wxWidgets that more processing is required.
3554 This function can be called by an OnIdle handler for a window or window event
3555 handler to indicate that wxApp::OnIdle should forward the OnIdle event once
3556 more to the application windows.
3558 If no window calls this function during OnIdle, then the application will
3559 remain in a passive event loop (not calling OnIdle) until a new event is
3560 posted to the application by the windowing system.
3562 @see MoreRequested()
3564 void RequestMore(bool needMore
= true);
3567 Static function for specifying how wxWidgets will send idle events: to
3568 all windows, or only to those which specify that they will process the events.
3571 Can be one of the ::wxIdleMode values.
3572 The default is wxIDLE_PROCESS_ALL.
3574 static void SetMode(wxIdleMode mode

3580 @class wxInitDialogEvent
3582 A wxInitDialogEvent is sent as a dialog or panel is being initialised.
3583 Handlers for this event can transfer data to the window.
3585 The default handler calls wxWindow::TransferDataToWindow.
3587 @beginEventTable{wxInitDialogEvent}

3589 Process a @c wxEVT_INIT_DIALOG event.
3595 @see @ref overview_events
3597 class wxInitDialogEvent
: public wxEvent
3603 wxInitDialogEvent(int id
= 0);
3609 @class wxWindowDestroyEvent
3611 This event is sent as early as possible during the window destruction
3614 For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
3615 wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
3616 class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
3617 be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
3618 must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
3620 For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
3621 window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
3622 window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
3623 used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
3625 It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca
3626 be very useful to receive notifications about the window destruction in the
3627 parent window or in any other object interested in this window.

3648 @class wxNavigationKeyEvent
3650 This event class contains information about navigation events,
3651 generated by navigation keys such as tab and page down.
3653 This event is mainly used by wxWidgets implementations.
3654 A wxNavigationKeyEvent handler is automatically provided by wxWidgets
3655 when you enable keyboard navigation inside a window by inheriting it from
3656 wxNavigationEnabled<>.

3732 void SetWindowChange(bool windowChange

3738 @class wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent
3740 An mouse capture changed event is sent to a window that loses its
3741 mouse capture. This is called even if wxWindow::ReleaseMouse
3742 was called by the application code. Handling this event allows
3743 an application to cater for unexpected capture releases which
3744 might otherwise confuse mouse handling code.
3748 @beginEventTable{wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent}
3749 @event{EVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_CHANGED(func)}
3750 Process a @c wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_CHANGED event.

: public wxEvent
3765 wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent(wxWindowID windowId
= 0,
3766 wxWindow

3769 Returns the window that gained the capture, or @NULL if it was a
3770 non-wxWidgets window.
3772 wxWindow
* GetCapturedWindow() const;
3780 This event class contains information about window and session close events.
3782 The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
3783 a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
3784 It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
3785 calling the wxWindow::Close function.
3787 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
3788 using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
3789 using wxWindow::Destroy.
3791 If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
3794 If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
3795 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
3796 This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
3797 on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
3799 Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
3802 void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
3804 if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
3806 if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
3808 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
3815 Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
3816 // since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
3820 The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
3821 when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
3822 so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
3823 handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
3824 system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
3825 wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
3826 that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
3827 waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
3828 make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
3829 class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
3830 will still kill your application).

3859 Vetoing a window close event is not possible if the calling code wishes to
3860 force the application to exit, and so this function must be called to check this.
3862 bool CanVeto() const;
3865 Returns @true if the user is just logging off or @false if the system is
3866 shutting down. This method can only be called for end session and query end
3867 session events, it doesn't make sense for close window event.

4094 A size event holds information about size change events of wxWindow.
4096 The EVT_SIZE handler function will be called when the window has been resized.
4098 You may wish to use this for frames to resize their child windows as appropriate.
4100 Note that the size passed is of the whole window: call wxWindow::GetClientSize()
4101 for the area which may be used by the application.
4103 When a window is resized, usually only a small part of the window is damaged
4104 and you may only need to repaint that area. However, if your drawing depends on the
4105 size of the window, you may need to clear the DC explicitly and repaint the whole window.
4106 In which case, you may need to call wxWindow::Refresh to invalidate the entire window.
4108 @b Important : Sizers ( see @ref overview_sizer ) rely on size events to function
4109 correctly. Therefore, in a sizer-based layout, do not forget to call Skip on all
4110 size events you catch (and don't catch size events at all when you don't need to).
4112 @beginEventTable{wxSizeEvent}
4113 @event{EVT_SIZE(func)}
4114 Process a @c wxEVT_SIZE event.

4122 class wxSizeEvent
: public wxEvent
4128 wxSizeEvent(const wxSize

4131 Returns the entire size of the window generating the size change event.
4133 This is the new total size of the window, i.e. the same size as would
4134 be returned by wxWindow::GetSize() if it were called now. Use
4135 wxWindow::GetClientSize() if you catch this event in a top level window
4136 such as wxFrame to find the size available for the window contents.

4148 @class wxSetCursorEvent
4150 A wxSetCursorEvent is generated from wxWindow when the mouse cursor is about
4151 to be set as a result of mouse motion.
4153 This event gives the application the chance to perform specific mouse cursor
4154 processing based on the current position of the mouse within the window.
4155 Use wxSetCursorEvent::SetCursor to specify the cursor you want to be displayed.
4157 @beginEventTable{wxSetCursorEvent}
4158 @event{EVT_SET_CURSOR(func)}
4159 Process a @c wxEVT_SET_CURSOR event.
4165 @see ::wxSetCursor, wxWindow::wxSetCursor
4167 class wxSetCursorEvent
: public wxEvent
4171 Constructor, used by the library itself internally to initialize the event
4174 wxSetCursorEvent(wxCoord x
= 0, wxCoord y
= 0);
4177 Returns a reference to the cursor specified by this event.
4179 const wxCursor
& GetCursor() const;
4182 Returns the X coordinate of the mouse in client coordinates.
4184 wxCoord
GetX() const;
4187 Returns the Y coordinate of the mouse in client coordinates.
4189 wxCoord
GetY() const;
4192 Returns @true if the cursor specified by this event is a valid cursor.
4194 @remarks You cannot specify wxNullCursor with this event, as it is not
4195 considered a valid cursor.
4197 bool HasCursor() const;
4200 Sets the cursor associated with this event.

4215 A value uniquely identifying the type of the event.
4217 The values of this type should only be created using wxNewEventType().
4219 See the macro DEFINE_EVENT_TYPE() for more info.
4221 @see @ref overview_events_introduction
4223 typedef int wxEventType
;
4226 A special event type usually used to indicate that some wxEvent has yet
4229 wxEventType wxEVT_NULL
;
4231 wxEventType wxEVT_ANY
;
4234 Generates a new unique event type.
4236 Usually this function is only used by wxDEFINE_EVENT() and not called
4239 wxEventType
wxNewEventType();
4242 Define a new event type associated with the specified event class.
4244 This macro defines a new unique event type @a name associated with the
4249 wxDEFINE_EVENT(MY_COMMAND_EVENT, wxCommandEvent);
4251 class MyCustomEvent : public wxEvent { ... };
4252 wxDEFINE_EVENT(MY_CUSTOM_EVENT, MyCustomEvent);
4255 @see wxDECLARE_EVENT(), @ref overview_events_custom
4257 #define wxDEFINE_EVENT(name, cls) \
4258 const wxEventTypeTag< cls > name(wxNewEventType())
4261 Declares a custom event type.
4263 This macro declares a variable called @a name which must be defined
4264 elsewhere using wxDEFINE_EVENT().
4266 The class @a cls must be the wxEvent-derived class associated with the
4267 events of this type and its full declaration must be visible from the point
4268 of use of this macro.
4272 wxDECLARE_EVENT(MY_COMMAND_EVENT, wxCommandEvent);
4274 class MyCustomEvent : public wxEvent { ... };
4275 wxDECLARE_EVENT(MY_CUSTOM_EVENT, MyCustomEvent);
4278 #define wxDECLARE_EVENT(name, cls) \
4279 wxDECLARE_EXPORTED_EVENT(wxEMPTY_PARAMETER_VALUE, name, cls)
4282 Variant of wxDECLARE_EVENT() used for event types defined inside a shared
4285 This is mostly used by wxWidgets internally, e.g.
4287 wxDECLARE_EXPORTED_EVENT(WXDLLIMPEXP_CORE, wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED, wxCommandEvent)
4290 #define wxDECLARE_EXPORTED_EVENT( expdecl, name, cls ) \
4291 extern const expdecl wxEventTypeTag< cls > name;
4294 Helper macro for definition of custom event table macros.
4296 This macro must only be used if wxEVENTS_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 is 1, otherwise
4297 it is better and more clear to just use the address of the function
4298 directly as this is all this macro does in this case. However it needs to
4299 explicitly cast @a func to @a functype, which is the type of wxEvtHandler
4300 member function taking the custom event argument when
4301 wxEVENTS_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 is 0.
4303 See wx__DECLARE_EVT0 for an example of use.
4305 @see @ref overview_events_custom_ownclass
4307 #define wxEVENT_HANDLER_CAST(functype, func) (&func)
4310 This macro is used to define event table macros for handling custom
4315 class MyEvent : public wxEvent { ... };
4317 // note that this is not necessary unless using old compilers: for the
4318 // reasonably new ones just use &func instead of MyEventHandler(func)
4319 typedef void (wxEvtHandler::*MyEventFunction)(MyEvent&);
4320 #define MyEventHandler(func) wxEVENT_HANDLER_CAST(MyEventFunction, func)
4322 wxDEFINE_EVENT(MY_EVENT_TYPE, MyEvent);
4324 #define EVT_MY(id, func) \
4325 wx__DECLARE_EVT1(MY_EVENT_TYPE, id, MyEventHandler(func))
4329 wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyFrame, wxFrame)
4330 EVT_MY(wxID_ANY, MyFrame::OnMyEvent)
4335 The event type to handle.
4337 The identifier of events to handle.
4339 The event handler method.
4341 #define wx__DECLARE_EVT1(evt, id, fn) \
4342 wx__DECLARE_EVT2(evt, id, wxID_ANY, fn)
4345 Generalized version of the wx__DECLARE_EVT1() macro taking a range of
4346 IDs instead of a single one.
4347 Argument @a id1 is the first identifier of the range, @a id2 is the
4348 second identifier of the range.
4350 #define wx__DECLARE_EVT2(evt, id1, id2, fn) \
4351 DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE_ENTRY(evt, id1, id2, fn, NULL),
4354 Simplified version of the wx__DECLARE_EVT1() macro, to be used when the
4355 event type must be handled regardless of the ID associated with the
4356 specific event instances.
4358 #define wx__DECLARE_EVT0(evt, fn) \
4359 wx__DECLARE_EVT1(evt, wxID_ANY, fn)
4362 Use this macro inside a class declaration to declare a @e static event table
4365 In the implementation file you'll need to use the wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE()
4366 and the wxEND_EVENT_TABLE() macros, plus some additional @c EVT_xxx macro
4369 Note that this macro requires a final semicolon.
4371 @see @ref overview_events_eventtables
4373 #define wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
4376 Use this macro in a source file to start listing @e static event handlers
4377 for a specific class.
4379 Use wxEND_EVENT_TABLE() to terminate the event-declaration block.
4381 @see @ref overview_events_eventtables
4383 #define wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(theClass, baseClass)
4386 Use this macro in a source file to end listing @e static event handlers
4387 for a specific class.
4389 Use wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE() to start the event-declaration block.
4391 @see @ref overview_events_eventtables
4393 #define wxEND_EVENT_TABLE()
4396 In a GUI application, this function posts @a event to the specified @e dest
4397 object using wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent().
4399 Otherwise, it dispatches @a event immediately using
4400 wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent(). See the respective documentation for details
4401 (and caveats). Because of limitation of wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent()
4402 this function is not thread-safe for event objects having wxString fields,
4403 use wxQueueEvent() instead.
4407 void wxPostEvent(wxEvtHandler
* dest
, const wxEvent
& event
);
4410 Queue an event for processing on the given object.
4412 This is a wrapper around wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent(), see its documentation
4418 The object to queue the event on, can't be @c NULL.
4420 The heap-allocated and non-@c NULL event to queue, the function takes
4423 void wxQueueEvent(wxEvtHandler
* dest
, wxEvent
*event
);
