system. To put it a different way, events derived either directly or
indirectly from wxCommandEvent will travel up the containment

all events (or any selection of them) to the parent window.
-\subsection{Redirection of command events to the window with the focus}
-
-The usual upward search through the window hierarchy for command event
-handlers does not always meet an application's requirements. Say you have two
-wxTextCtrl windows in a frame, plus a toolbar with Cut, Copy and Paste
-buttons. To avoid the need to define event handlers in the frame
-and redirect them explicitly to the window with the focus, command events
-are sent to the window with the focus first, for
-menu and toolbar command and UI update events only. This means that
-each window can handle its own commands and UI updates independently. In
-fact wxTextCtrl can handle Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo and Redo commands and UI update
-requests, so no extra coding is required to support them in your menus and
-toolbars.

to supply window ids at all times. Automatic generation of identifiers starts at 1 so may well conflict
with your own identifiers.
