\membersection{wxEvent::ShouldPropagate}\label{wxeventshouldpropagate}
\constfunc{bool}{ShouldPropagate}{\void}
\func{void}{Skip}{\param{bool}{ skip = true}}
-Called by an event handler to tell the event system that the
-event handler should be skipped, and the next valid handler used
-instead.
+Called by an event handler, it controls whether additional event
+handlers bound to this event will be called after the current event
+handler returns. Skip(false) (the default behavior) will prevent
+additional event handlers from being called and control will be
+returned to the sender of the event immediately after the current
+handler has finished. Skip(true) will cause the event processing
+system to continue searching for a handler function for this event.
