(default) the processing stops here.
- -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
- the function skips to step (7).
-# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.

+ -# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)

searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
- -# Static events table of the handlers binded using event table
+ -# Static events table of the handlers bound using event table
macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
class event table table is tried, and so on until no more tables
exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last
step.
