- while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during

-
- QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker

- locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
- documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
- calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
- fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
- the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
- as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
- the scenes. For example:
- @code
- void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
- {
- wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
-
- // NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
- evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
-
- wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
- }
- @endcode
-
- Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
- to avoid this problem:
- @code
- void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
- {
- wxThreadEvent evt;
- evt->SetString(str);
-
- // wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
- // member is not shared by other wxString instances:
- wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
- }
- @endcode

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

- events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
- in the parent frame itself.
-
- The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
- -# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
- (default) the processing stops here.
- -# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
- account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
- -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
- the function skips to step (7).
- -# Dynamic event table of the handlers bound using Bind<>() is
- searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
- returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
- that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
- -# Static events table of the handlers bound using event table
- macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
- class event table is tried, and so on until no more tables
- exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
- the same logic as in the previous step applies.
- -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
- chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
- @image html overview_events_chain.png
- (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
- the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
- Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
- (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
- If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
- -# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the
- event to the window parent (recursively). If the event is still not
- processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last
- step.

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

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