+ // When a child inside a wxControlContainer receives a focus, the
+ // wxControlContainer generates an artificial wxChildFocusEvent for
+ // itself, telling its parent that 'it' received the focus. The effect is
+ // that this->HandleOnChildFocus is called twice, first with the
+ // artificial wxChildFocusEvent and then with the original event. We need
+ // to ignore the artificial event here or otherwise HandleOnChildFocus
+ // would first scroll the target window to make the entire
+ // wxControlContainer visible and immediately afterwards scroll the target
+ // window again to make the child widget visible. This leads to ugly
+ // flickering when using nested wxPanels/wxScrolledWindows.
+ //
+ // Ignore this event if 'win' is derived from wxControlContainer AND its
+ // parent is the m_targetWindow AND 'win' is not actually reciving the
+ // focus (win != FindFocus). TODO: This affects all wxControlContainer
+ // objects, but wxControlContainer is not part of the wxWidgets RTTI and
+ // so wxDynamicCast(win, wxControlContainer) does not compile. Find a way
+ // to determine if 'win' derives from wxControlContainer. Until then,
+ // testing if 'win' derives from wxPanel will probably get >90% of all
+ // cases.

+ // scrolled area. But do so only if the parent fits *entirely* inside the
