+\section{\class{wxChildFocusEvent}}\label{wxchildfocusevent}
+
+A child focus event is sent to a (parent-)window when one of its child windows gains focus,
+so that the window could restore the focus back to its corresponding child
+if it loses it now and regains later.
+
+Notice that child window is the direct child of the window receiving event.
+Use \helpref{FindFocus}{wxwindowfindfocus) to retreive the window which is actually getting focus.
