This event class contains information about window and session close events.
+The handler function for EVT\_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a a frame
+or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It can
+also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
+calling the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function.
+
+You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
+using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto}. If this is {\tt false},
+you {\it must} destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
+If the return value is true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window.
+
+If you don't destroy the window, you should call \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto} to
+let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function
+to return {\tt true} or {\tt false} depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

+\membersection{wxCloseEvent::wxCloseEvent}\label{wxcloseeventctor}
\func{}{wxCloseEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ commandEventType = 0}, \param{int}{ id = 0}}
Constructor.
+
+\membersection{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}\label{wxcloseeventcanveto}
+
+\func{bool}{CanVeto}{\void}
+
+Returns true if you can veto a system shutdown or a window close event.
+Vetoing a window close event is not possible if the calling code wishes to
+force the application to exit, and so this function must be called to check this.
+
+
\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetLoggingOff}\label{wxcloseeventgetloggingoff}
\constfunc{bool}{GetLoggingOff}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the user is logging off.
+Returns true if the user is just logging off or false if the system is
+shutting down. This method can only be called for end session and query end
+session events, it doesn't make sense for close window event.
+
+
+\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetCanVeto}\label{wxcloseeventsetcanveto}
+
+\func{void}{SetCanVeto}{\param{bool}{ canVeto}}
+
+Sets the 'can veto' flag.
-\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetSessionEnding}\label{wxcloseeventgetsessionending}
-\constfunc{bool}{GetSessionEnding}{\void}
+\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetForce}\label{wxcloseeventsetforce}
-Returns TRUE if the session is ending.
+\constfunc{void}{SetForce}{\param{bool}{ force}}
-\membersection{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}\label{wxcloseeventgetforce}
+Sets the 'force' flag.
-\constfunc{void}{GetForce}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the application wishes to force the window to close.
+\membersection{wxCloseEvent::SetLoggingOff}\label{wxcloseeventsetloggingoff}
+
+\constfunc{void}{SetLoggingOff}{\param{bool}{ loggingOff}}
+
+Sets the 'logging off' flag.
+
\membersection{wxCloseEvent::Veto}\label{wxcloseeventveto}
-\func{void}{Veto}{\void}
+\func{void}{Veto}{\param{bool}{ veto = true}}
+
+Call this from your event handler to veto a system shutdown or to signal
+to the calling application that a window close did not happen.
-Call this from your event handler to veto a system shutdown.
+You can only veto a shutdown if \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto} returns
+true.
