-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_clientData}
-
-\member{char*}{m\_clientData}
-
-Contains a pointer to client data for listboxes and choices, if the event
-was a selection.
-
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandInt}
-
-\member{int}{m\_commandInt}
-
-Contains an integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
-radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
-deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
-
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandString}
-
-\member{char*}{m\_commandString}
-
-Contains a string corresponding to a listbox or choice selection.
-
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_extraLong}
-
-\member{long}{m\_extraLong}
-
-Extra information. If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is
-a boolean determining whether the event was a selection (TRUE) or a
-deselection (FALSE). A listbox deselection only occurs for
-multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
-are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.

-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::wxCommandEvent}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::wxCommandEvent}\label{wxcommandeventctor}
\func{}{wxCommandEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ commandEventType = 0}, \param{int}{ id = 0}}
Constructor.
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::Checked}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::Checked}\label{wxcommandeventchecked}
-\func{bool}{Checked}{\void}
+\constfunc{bool}{Checked}{\void}
-Returns TRUE or FALSE for a checkbox selection event.
+Deprecated, use \helpref{IsChecked}{wxcommandeventischecked} instead.
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetClientData}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetClientData}\label{wxcommandeventgetclientdata}
-\func{char*}{GetClientData}{\void}
+\func{void*}{GetClientData}{\void}
Returns client data pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
(not valid for a deselection).
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetExtraLong}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetClientObject}\label{wxcommandeventgetclientobject}
+
+\func{wxClientData *}{GetClientObject}{\void}
+
+Returns client object pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
+(not valid for a deselection).
+
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetExtraLong}\label{wxcommandeventgetextralong}
\func{long}{GetExtraLong}{\void}
-Returns the {\bf m\_extraLong} member.
+Returns extra information dependant on the event objects type.
+If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is a boolean
+determining whether the event was a selection (true) or a
+deselection (false). A listbox deselection only occurs for
+multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
+are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetInt}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetInt}\label{wxcommandeventgetint}
\func{int}{GetInt}{\void}
-Returns the {\bf m\_commandInt} member.
+Returns the integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
+radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
+deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetSelection}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetSelection}\label{wxcommandeventgetselection}
\func{int}{GetSelection}{\void}
Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
a deselection).
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetString}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetString}\label{wxcommandeventgetstring}
-\func{char*}{GetString}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetString}{\void}
Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
a deselection).
-\membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsSelection}
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsChecked}\label{wxcommandeventischecked}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsChecked}{\void}
+
+This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the
+method returns {\tt true} for a selection event and {\tt false} for a
+deselection one. For the menu events, this method indicates if the menu item
+just has become checked or unchecked (and thus only makes sense for checkable
+menu items).
+
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsSelection}\label{wxcommandeventisselection}
\func{bool}{IsSelection}{\void}
-For a listbox or choice event, returns TRUE if it is a selection, FALSE if it
+For a listbox or similar event, returns true if it is a selection, false if it
is a deselection.

+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetClientObject}\label{wxcommandeventsetclientobject}
+
+\func{void}{SetClientObject}{\param{wxClientData*}{ clientObject}}
+
+Sets the client object for this event. The client object is \emph{not} owned by the event
+object and the event object will not delete the client object in its destructor.
+The client object must be owned and deleted by another object (e.g. a control)
+that has longer life time than the event object.
+
+\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetExtraLong}\label{wxcommandeventsetextralong}
-\func{void}{SetExtraLong}{\param{int}{ extraLong}}
+\func{void}{SetExtraLong}{\param{long}{ extraLong}}
