-This event class contains information about mouse events, particularly

+This event class contains information about mouse events.
+See \helpref{wxWindow::OnMouseEvent}{wxwindowonmouseevent}.
+
+{\bf NB: } Note that under Windows mouse enter and leave events are not natively supported
+by the system but are generated by wxWindows itself. This has several
+drawbacks: the LEAVE\_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
+left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this
+time.
+
+{\bf NB: } Note the difference between methods like
+\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} and
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown}: the formet returns {\tt TRUE}
+when the event corresponds to the left mouse button click while the latter
+returns {\tt TRUE} if the left mouse button is currently being pressed. For
+example, when the user is dragging the mouse you can use
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown} to test
+whether the left mouse button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if
+\helpref{LeftDown}{wxmouseeventleftdown} returns {\tt TRUE},
+\helpref{LeftIsDown}{wxmouseeventleftisdown} will also return {\tt TRUE} in
+wxWindows whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is
+platform-dependent). The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as
+well.

-(according to the current mapping mode) with scrolling taken into
-account. To get back to device units (for example to calculate where on the
-screen to place a dialog box associated with a canvas mouse event), use
-\rtfsp{\bf wxDC::LogicalToDeviceX} and {\bf wxDC::LogicalToDeviceY}.
-
-For example, the following code calculates screen pixel coordinates
-from the frame position, canvas view start (assuming the canvas is the only
-subwindow on the frame and therefore at the top left of it), and the
-logical event position. A menu is popped up at the position where the
-mouse click occurred. (Note that the application should also check that
-the dialog box will be visible on the screen, since the click could have
-occurred near the screen edge!)
