+ event handler function(s).
+
+ Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the
+ wxWidgets implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the
+ framework (and application).
+
+ 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

+ TryBefore() and TryAfter() functions is usually enough. For example,
+ wxMDIParentFrame may override TryBefore() to ensure that the menu
+ events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
+ in the parent frame itself.
+
+ The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
+ -# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
+ (default) the processing stops here.
+ -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
+ the function skips to step (7).
+ -# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
+ account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
+ -# Dynamic event table of the handlers binded using Bind<>() is
+ searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
+ returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
+ that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
+ -# Static events table of the handlers binded using event table
+ macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
+ class event table table is tried, and so on until no more tables
+ exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
+ the same logic as in the previous step applies.
+ -# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
+ chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
+ @image html overview_events_chain.png
+ (referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
+ the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
+ Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
+ (see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
+ If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
+ -# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the

- This event is sent from the wxWindow destructor wxWindow::~wxWindow() when a

- When a class derived from wxWindow is destroyed its destructor will have
- already run by the time this event is sent. Therefore this event will not
- usually be received at all.
+ For the top level windows, as early as possible means that this is done by
+ wxFrame or wxDialog destructor, i.e. after the destructor of the derived
+ class was executed and so any methods specific to the derived class can't
+ be called any more from this event handler. If you need to do this, you
+ must call wxWindow::SendDestroyEvent() from your derived class destructor.
- To receive this event wxEvtHandler::Connect() must be used (using an event
- table macro will not work). Since it is received after the destructor has run,
- an object should not handle its own wxWindowDestroyEvent, but it can be used
- to get notification of the destruction of another window.
+ For the child windows, this event is generated just before deleting the
+ window from wxWindow::Destroy() (which is also called when the parent
+ window is deleted) or from the window destructor if operator @c delete was
+ used directly (which is not recommended for this very reason).
+
+ It is usually pointless to handle this event in the window itself but it ca
+ be very useful to receive notifications about the window destruction in the
+ parent window or in any other object interested in this window.
