+%This event is sent just before the actual window associated with a wxWindow object
+%is destroyed. Since it is derived from wxCommandEvent, the event propagates up
+%the window hierarchy.
+
+This event is sent from the wxWindow destructor wxWindow::~wxWindow() when a
+window is destroyed.
+
+When a class derived from wxWindow is destroyed its destructor will have
+already run by the time this event is sent. Therefore this event will not
+usually be received at all.
+
+To receive this event \helpref{wxEvtHandler::Connect}{wxevthandlerconnect}
+must be used (using an event table macro will not work). Since it is
+received after the destructor has run, an object should not handle its
+own wxWindowDestroyEvent, but it can be used to get notification of the
+destruction of another window.
