+
+    All mouse events involving the buttons use ``wx.MOUSE_BTN_LEFT`` for
+    the left mouse button, ``wx.MOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE`` for the middle one and
+    ``wx.MOUSE_BTN_RIGHT`` for the right one. Note that not all mice have
+    a middle button so a portable application should avoid relying on the
+    events from it.
+
+    Note the difference between methods like `LeftDown` and `LeftIsDown`:
+    the former returns true when the event corresponds to the left mouse
+    button click while the latter returns true if the left mouse button is
+    currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging the
+    mouse you can use `LeftIsDown` to test whether the left mouse button
+    is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if `LeftDown` returns true,
+    `LeftIsDown` will also return true in wxWidgets whatever the
+    underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent). The same

+    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.
 
-    def AltDown(*args, **kwargs):
-        """AltDown(self) -> bool"""
+    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
+    WXK_XXX values from the 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 'A' key is pressed, the key
+    down event key code is equal to ASCII A == 65. But the char event key
+    code is ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
+    'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
+    just 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be '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 `ShiftDown`, in general you should use EVT_CHAR for this
+    as for non alphanumeric keys or non-US keyboard layouts 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 '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 KeyEvents sample in the wxPython demo and
+    pressing some keys while the blue box at the top has the keyboard
+    focus.
+
+    **Note**: If a key down event is caught and the event handler does not
+    call event.Skip() then the coresponding char event 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 WM_KEYDOWN and
+    WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
+    event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
+
+    **Tip**: be sure to call event.Skip() for events that you don't
+    process in key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to
+    work under Windows.

+    """
+    This class is used for EVT_UPDATE_UI pseudo-events which are sent 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, 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 handler 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 ID values are the same.
+
+    Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call
+    functions in the event object, such as `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, `wx.Menu.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:
+
+       1. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetMode` with a value of
+          wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the extra style
+          wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UPDATE_EVENTS for every window that should
+          receive update events. No other windows will receive update
+          events.
+
+       2. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetUpdateInterval` with a millisecond
+          value to set the delay between updates. You may need to call
+          `wx.Window.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 EVT_IDLE
+    handler for a window does not affect this because the events are sent
+    from an internal idle handler.
+
+    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.
