callback or member function. {\bf wxEvent} used to be a multipurpose
event object, and is an abstract base class for other event classes (see below).
+\perlnote{In wxPerl custome event classes should be derived from
+\texttt{Wx::PlEvent} and \texttt{Wx::PlCommandEvent}.}
+
\wxheading{Derived from}
\helpref{wxObject}{wxobject}
\membersection{wxEvent::wxEvent}
-\func{}{wxEvent}{\param{int }{id = 0}}
+\func{}{wxEvent}{\param{int }{id = 0}, \param{wxEventType }{eventType = {\tt wxEVT\_NULL}}}
Constructor. Should not need to be used directly by an application.
-\membersection{wxEvent::m\_eventHandle}
-
-\member{char*}{m\_eventHandle}
-
-Handle of an underlying windowing system event handle, such as
-XEvent. Not guaranteed to be instantiated.
-
\membersection{wxEvent::m\_eventObject}
\member{wxObject*}{m\_eventObject}
Identifier for the window.
+\membersection{wxEvent::m\_propagationLevel}
+
+\member{int}{m\_propagationLevel}
+
+Indicates how many levels the event can propagate. This member is protected and
+should typically only be set in the constructors of the derived classes. It
+may be temporarily changed by \helpref{StopPropagation}{wxeventstoppropagation}
+and \helpref{ResumePropagation}{wxeventresumepropagation} and tested with
+\helpref{ShouldPropagate}{wxeventshouldpropagate}.
+
+The initial value is set to either {\tt wxEVENT\_PROPAGATE\_NONE} (by
+default) meaning that the event shouldn't be propagated at all or to
+{\tt wxEVENT\_PROPAGATE\_MAX} (for command events) meaning that it should be
+propagated as much as necessary.
+
+Any positive number means that the event should be propagated but no more than
+the given number of times. E.g. the propagation level may be set to $1$ to
+propagate the event to its parent only, but not to its grandparent.
+
\membersection{wxEvent::m\_skipped}
\member{bool}{m\_skipped}
-Set to TRUE by {\bf Skip} if this event should be skipped.
+Set to true by {\bf Skip} if this event should be skipped.
\membersection{wxEvent::m\_timeStamp}
Timestamp for this event.
-\membersection{wxEvent::GetEventClass}
+\membersection{wxEvent::Clone}\label{wxeventclone}
+
+\constfunc{virtual wxEvent*}{Clone}{\void}
+
+Returns a copy of the event.
+
+Any event that is posted to the wxWidgets event system for later action (via
+\helpref{wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent}{wxevthandleraddpendingevent} or
+\helpref{wxPostEvent}{wxpostevent}) must implement this method. All wxWidgets
+events fully implement this method, but any derived events implemented by the
+user should also implement this method just in case they (or some event
+derived from them) are ever posted.
-\func{WXTYPE}{GetEventClass}{\void}
+All wxWidgets events implement a copy constructor, so the easiest way of
+implementing the Clone function is to implement a copy constructor for
+a new event (call it MyEvent) and then define the Clone function like this:
-Returns the identifier of the given event class,
-such as wxTYPE\_MOUSE\_EVENT.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxEvent *Clone(void) const { return new MyEvent(*this); }
+\end{verbatim}
\membersection{wxEvent::GetEventObject}
\membersection{wxEvent::GetId}
-\func{int}{GetId}{\void}
+\constfunc{int}{GetId}{\void}
Returns the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
-\membersection{wxEvent::GetObjectType}
-
-\func{WXTYPE}{GetObjectType}{\void}
-
-Returns the type of the object associated with the
-event, such as wxTYPE\_BUTTON.
-
\membersection{wxEvent::GetSkipped}
-\func{bool}{GetSkipped}{\void}
+\constfunc{bool}{GetSkipped}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the event handler should be skipped, FALSE otherwise.
+Returns true if the event handler should be skipped, false otherwise.
\membersection{wxEvent::GetTimestamp}
Gets the timestamp for the event.
+\membersection{wxEvent::IsCommandEvent}\label{wxeventiscommandevent}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsCommandEvent}{\void}
+
+Returns true if the event is or is derived from
+\helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent} else it returns false.
+Note: Exists only for optimization purposes.
+
+
+\membersection{wxEvent::ResumePropagation}\label{wxeventresumepropagation}
+
+\func{void}{ResumePropagation}{\param{int }{propagationLevel}}
+
+Sets the propagation level to the given value (for example returned from an
+earlier call to \helpref{StopPropagation}{wxeventstoppropagation}).
+
+
\membersection{wxEvent::SetEventObject}
\func{void}{SetEventObject}{\param{wxObject* }{object}}
Sets the originating object.
+\membersection{wxEvent::ShouldPropagate}\label{wxeventshouldpropagate}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{ShouldPropagate}{\void}
+
+Test if this event should be propagated or not, i.e. if the propagation level
+is currently greater than $0$.
+
\membersection{wxEvent::Skip}\label{wxeventskip}
-\func{void}{Skip}{\param{bool}{ skip = TRUE}}
+\func{void}{Skip}{\param{bool}{ skip = true}}
Called by an event handler to tell the event system that the
event handler should be skipped, and the next valid handler used
instead.
+\membersection{wxEvent::StopPropagation}\label{wxeventstoppropagation}
+
+\func{int}{StopPropagation}{\void}
+
+Stop the event from propagating to its parent window.
+
+Returns the old propagation level value which may be later passed to
+\helpref{ResumePropagation}{wxeventresumepropagation} to allow propagating the
+event again.
