-/**
- @class wxKeyEvent
- @wxheader{event.h}
-
- This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
-
- Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
- key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
- is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
- release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
- maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
- generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
- one up event corresponding to each down one.
-
- Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
- the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
- an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
- from the @ref overview_keycodes "keycodes table". The translated key is, in
- general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the key
- combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for example.
-
- A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
- and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
- event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
- is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
- @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
- just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
- as well.
- Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
- found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
- wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown, in general you should use
- @c EVT_CHAR for this as for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is
- keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly by the system itself.
- Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
- example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
- same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of
- 1, the ASCII value of this key combination.
+/**
+ @class wxEvent
+ @wxheader{event.h}
- You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
- running the text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
- in any of the text controls shown in it.
+ An event is a structure holding information about an event passed to a
+ callback or member function.
- @b Note: If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and
- the event handler does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding
- char event (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen. This is by design and
- enables the programs that handle both types of events to be a bit
- simpler.
+ wxEvent used to be a multipurpose event object, and is an abstract base class
+ for other event classes (see below).
- @b Note for Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
- similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
- @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
- event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
+ For more information about events, see the @ref overview_eventhandling overview.
- @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
- key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
+ @beginWxPerlOnly
+ In wxPerl custom event classes should be derived from
+ @c Wx::PlEvent and @c Wx::PlCommandEvent.

+
+ Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the

+ 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.
+
+ An instance where you might actually override the ProcessEvent function is where
+ you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by
+ wxWidgets. For example, in the document/view architecture, documents and views
+ are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, ProcessEvent will
+ need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler functions
+ are associated with these objects. The property classes library (wxProperty) also
+ overrides ProcessEvent for similar reasons.
+
+ The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
+ -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)

+/**
+ @class wxKeyEvent
+ @wxheader{event.h}
+
+ This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
+
+ Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
+ key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
+ is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
+ release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
+ maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
+ generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
+ one up event corresponding to each down one.
+
+ Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
+ the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
+ an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
+ from the @ref page_keycodes.
+ The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
+ as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
+ zone, for example.
+
+ A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
+ and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
+ event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
+ is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
+ @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
+ just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
+ as well.
+
+ Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
+ found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
+ wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
+ for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
+ can only be done properly by the system itself.
+
+ Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
+ example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
+ same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
+ the ASCII value of this key combination.
+
+ You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
+ running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
+ in any of the text controls shown in it.
+
+ @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
+ key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
+
+ @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
+ does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
+ (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
+ This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
+ events to be a bit simpler.
+
+ @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
+ similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
+ @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
+ char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).

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

- This event class contains information about window and session close events.
+ This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes

+ 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.
- The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
- a frame
- or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It can
- also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
- calling the wxWindow::Close function.
+ 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.
- You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
- using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false,
- you @e must destroy the window using wxWindow::Destroy.
- If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
- the window.
+ By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
+ If this 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.
- If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
- let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the
- wxWindow::Close function
- to return @true or @false depending on whether the close instruction was
