/**
    @class wxUIActionSimulator

    wxUIActionSimulator is a class used to simulate user interface actions
    such as a mouse click or a key press.

    Common usage for this class would be to provide playback and record (aka
    macro recording) functionality for users, or to drive unit tests by
    simulating user sessions.

    See the @ref page_samples_uiaction for an example of using this class.
