 wxWindow (and therefore all window classes) are derived from
 this class.
 
+When events are received, wxEvtHandler invokes the method listed in the

+Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called in the wxWidgets
 implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events to the framework (and application).
 
 However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality (such as a new control) where
 you define new event types, as opposed to allowing the user to override virtual functions.
