+ Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this

@event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
@event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
@event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
- Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event which is sent to the active
- wxTopLevelWindow (i.e. the one containing the currently focused window)
- or wxApp global object if there is no active window before any other
- keyboard events are generated giving the parent window the opportunity
- to intercept all the keyboard entry. If the event is handled, i.e. the
- handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(), no further keyboard events are
- generated. Notice that this event is not generated when the mouse is
- captured as it is considered that the window which has the capture
- should receive all the keyboard events too without allowing its parent
- wxTopLevelWindow to interfere with their processing. Also please note
- that currently this event is not generated by wxOSX/Cocoa port.
+ Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
+ this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
+ intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
+ is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
+ the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
+ events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
+ keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
+ wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
+ dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
+ this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
+ neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
+ (although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
+ key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
+ you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
+ generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
+ if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
+ without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
+ event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
+ that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
+ events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
+ with their processing.

- 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.
+ 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

+ 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.
