This event class contains information about mouse events.
See \helpref{wxWindow::OnMouseEvent}{wxwindowonmouseevent}.
+{\bf NB: } Note that under Windows mouse enter and leave events are not natively supported
+by the system but are generated by wxWindows itself. This has several
+drawbacks: the LEAVE\_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
+left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
+time.
+
+{\bf NB: } Note the difference between methods like
+\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} and
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown}: the formet returns {\tt TRUE}
+when the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
+returns {\tt TRUE} if the left mouse button is currently being pressed. For
+example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown} to test
+whether the left mouse button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if
+\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} returns {\tt TRUE},
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown} will also return {\tt TRUE} in
+wxWindows whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
+platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as
+well.

TRUE if the right mouse button is currently pressed down.
-\membersection{wxMouseEvent::m\_leftDown}
-
-\member{bool}{m\_leftDown}
-
-TRUE if the left mouse button is currently pressed down.

\membersection{wxMouseEvent::m\_metaDown}
\member{bool}{m\_metaDown}
Y-coordinate of the event.
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::m\_wheelRotation}
+
+\member{int}{m\_wheelRotation}
+
+The distance the mouse wheel is rotated.
+
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::m\_wheelDelta}
+
+\member{int}{m\_wheelDelta}
+
+The wheel delta, normally 120.
+
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::m\_linesPerAction}
+
+\member{int}{m\_linesPerAction}
+
+The configured number of lines (or whatever) to be scrolled per wheel
+action.

\membersection{wxMouseEvent::AltDown}
\func{bool}{Entering}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the mouse was entering the window (MS Windows and Motif).
+Returns TRUE if the mouse was entering the window.
See also \helpref{wxMouseEvent::Leaving}{wxmouseeventleaving}.
\constfunc{wxPoint}{GetPosition}{\void}
-\constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{long *}{x}, \param{long *}{y}}
+\constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{wxCoord*}{ x}, \param{wxCoord*}{ y}}
+
+\constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{long*}{ x}, \param{long*}{ y}}
Sets *x and *y to the position at which the event occurred.
Returns the logical mouse position in pixels (i.e. translated according to the
translation set for the DC, which usually indicates that the window has been scrolled).
+
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetLinesPerAction}\label{wxmouseeventgetlinesperaction}
+
+\constfunc{int}{GetLinesPerAction}{\void}
+
+Returns the configured number of lines (or whatever) to be scrolled per
+wheel action. Defaults to three.
+
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetWheelRotation}\label{wxmouseeventgetwheelrotation}
+
+\constfunc{int}{GetWheelRotation}{\void}
+
+Get wheel rotation, positive or negative indicates direction of
+rotation. Current devices all send an event when rotation is equal to
++/-WheelDelta, but this allows for finer resolution devices to be
+created in the future. Because of this you shouldn't assume that one
+event is equal to 1 line or whatever, but you should be able to either
+do partial line scrolling or wait until +/-WheelDelta rotation values
+have been accumulated before scrolling.
+
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetWheelDelta}\label{wxmouseeventgetwheeldelta}
+
+\constfunc{int}{GetWheelDelta}{\void}
+
+Get wheel delta, normally 120. This is the threshold for action to be
+taken, and one such action (for example, scrolling one increment)
+should occur for each delta.
+
\membersection{wxMouseEvent::GetX}\label{wxmouseeventgetx}
\constfunc{long}{GetX}{\void}
\constfunc{bool}{Leaving}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the mouse was leaving the window (MS Windows and Motif).
+Returns TRUE if the mouse was leaving the window.
See also \helpref{wxMouseEvent::Entering}{wxmouseevententering}.
Returns TRUE if the event was a left double click.
-\membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftDown}
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftDown}\label{wxmouseeventleftdown}
\constfunc{bool}{LeftDown}{\void}
Returns TRUE if the left mouse button changed to down.
-\membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown}
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown}\label{wxmouseeventleftisdown}
\constfunc{bool}{LeftIsDown}{\void}
Returns TRUE if the left mouse button is currently down, independent
of the current event type.
+Please notice that it is {\bf not} the same as
+\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} which returns TRUE if the left mouse
+button was just pressed. Rather, it describes the state of the mouse button
+before the event happened.
+
+This event is usually used in the mouse event handlers which process "move
+mouse" messages to determine whether the user is (still) dragging the mouse.
+
\membersection{wxMouseEvent::LeftUp}
\constfunc{bool}{LeftUp}{\void}
Returns TRUE if the middle mouse button changed to down.
-\membersection{wxMouseEvent::MiddleIsDown}
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::MiddleIsDown}\label{wxmouseeventmiddleisdown}
\constfunc{bool}{MiddleIsDown}{\void}
Returns TRUE if the right mouse button changed to down.
-\membersection{wxMouseEvent::RightIsDown}
+\membersection{wxMouseEvent::RightIsDown}\label{wxmouseeventrightisdown}
\constfunc{bool}{RightIsDown}{\void}
