-This member is called to allow the window to intercept keyboard events
-before they are processed by child windows.
+Pushes this event handler onto the event stack for the window.
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{event}{Object containing keypress information. See \helpref{wxKeyEvent}{wxkeyevent} for
-details about this class.}
+\docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be pushed.}
\wxheading{Remarks}
-This member function is called in response to a keypress, if the window is active. To intercept this event,
-use the EVT\_CHAR\_HOOK macro in an event table definition. If you do not process a particular
-keypress, call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} to allow default processing.
-
-An example of using this function is in the implementation of escape-character processing for wxDialog,
-where pressing ESC dismisses the dialog by {\bf OnCharHook} 'forging' a cancel button press event.
-
-Note that the ASCII values do not have explicit key codes: they are passed as ASCII
-values.
+An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
+sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
+an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
+central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
+window classes.
-This function is only relevant to top-level windows (frames and dialogs), and under
-Windows only. Under GTK the normal EVT\_CHAR\_ event has the functionality, i.e.
-you can intercepts it and if you don't call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip}
-the window won't get the event.
+\helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} allows
+an application to set up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
+handed to the next one in the chain. Use \helpref{wxWindow::PopEventHandler}{wxwindowpopeventhandler} to

-destroying the window if it returns TRUE or if the close is being forced.

-\wxheading{Parameters}
-
-\docparam{event}{Paint event. For more information, see \helpref{wxPaintEvent}{wxpaintevent}.}
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-
-
-Use the EVT\_PAINT macro in an event table definition to intercept paint events.
-
-Note that In a paint event handler, the application must {\it always} create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object,
-even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows, refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
-
-For example:
-
-\small{%
-\begin{verbatim}
- void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent\& event)
- {
- wxPaintDC dc(this);
-
- DrawMyDocument(dc);
- }
-\end{verbatim}
-}%
-
-You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles
-that have been damaged and only repainting these. The rectangles are in
-terms of the client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do
-some calculations using the current view position to obtain logical,
-scrolled units.
-
-Here is an example of using the \helpref{wxRegionIterator}{wxregioniterator} class:
-
-{\small%
-\begin{verbatim}
-// Called when window needs to be repainted.
-void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent\& event)
-{
- wxPaintDC dc(this);
-
- // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
- int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
- GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
-
- int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
- wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
-
- while (upd)
- {
- vX = upd.GetX();
- vY = upd.GetY();
- vW = upd.GetW();
- vH = upd.GetH();
-
- // Alternatively we can do this:
- // wxRect rect;
- // upd.GetRect(&rect);
-
- // Repaint this rectangle
- ...some code...
-
- upd ++ ;
- }
