wxWindow (and therefore all window classes) are derived from
this class.
+When events are received, wxEvtHandler invokes the method listed in the
+event table using itself as the object. When using multiple inheritance
+it is imperative that the wxEvtHandler(-derived) class be the first
+class inherited such that the "this" pointer for the overall object
+will be identical to the "this" pointer for the wxEvtHandler portion.

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.
