+ @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.
