\section{\class{wxCommandEvent}}\label{wxcommandevent}

This event class contains information about command events, which originate from a variety of
simple controls. More complex controls, such as \helpref{wxTreeCtrl}{wxtreectrl}, have separate command event classes.

To process a menu command event, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
functions that take a wxCommandEvent argument.

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_clientData}

\member{void*}{m\_clientData}

Contains a pointer to client data for listboxes and choices, if the event
was a selection. Beware, this is not implemented anyway...

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandInt}

\member{int}{m\_commandInt}

Contains an integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or
radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a
deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_commandString}

\member{char*}{m\_commandString}

Contains a string corresponding to a listbox or choice selection.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::m\_extraLong}

\member{long}{m\_extraLong}

Extra information. If the event comes from a listbox selection, it is
a boolean determining whether the event was a selection (TRUE) or a
deselection (FALSE). A listbox deselection only occurs for
multiple-selection boxes, and in this case the index and string values
are indeterminate and the listbox must be examined by the application.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::wxCommandEvent}

\func{}{wxCommandEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ commandEventType = 0}, \param{int}{ id = 0}}

Constructor.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::Checked}

\constfunc{bool}{Checked}{\void}

Deprecated, use \helpref{IsChecked}{wxcommandeventischecked} instead.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetClientData}

\func{void*}{GetClientData}{\void}

Returns client data pointer for a listbox or choice selection event
(not valid for a deselection).

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetExtraLong}

\func{long}{GetExtraLong}{\void}

Returns the {\bf m\_extraLong} member.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetInt}

\func{int}{GetInt}{\void}

Returns the {\bf m\_commandInt} member.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetSelection}

\func{int}{GetSelection}{\void}

Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
a deselection).

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::GetString}

\func{char*}{GetString}{\void}

Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for
a deselection).

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsChecked}\label{wxcommandeventischecked}

\constfunc{bool}{IsChecked}{\void}

This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the
method returns {\tt TRUE} for a selection event and {\tt FALSE} for a
deselection one. For the menu events, this method indicates if the menu item
just has become checked or unchecked (and thus only makes sense for checkable
menu items).

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::IsSelection}

\func{bool}{IsSelection}{\void}

For a listbox or choice event, returns TRUE if it is a selection, FALSE if it
is a deselection.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetClientData}

\func{void}{SetClientData}{\param{void*}{ clientData}}

Sets the client data for this event.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetExtraLong}

\func{void}{SetExtraLong}{\param{int}{ extraLong}}

Sets the {\bf m\_extraLong} member.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetInt}

\func{void}{SetInt}{\param{int}{ intCommand}}

Sets the {\bf m\_commandInt} member.

\membersection{wxCommandEvent::SetString}

\func{void}{SetString}{\param{char*}{ string}}

Sets the {\bf m\_commandString} member.
