Notice that events are usually created by wxWidgets itself and creating
e.g. a wxPaintEvent in your code and sending it to e.g. a wxTextCtrl
will not usually affect it at all as native controls have no specific
knowledge about wxWidgets events. However you may construct objects of
specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you
want to create your own custom control and want to process its events
in the same manner as the standard ones.
Also please notice that the order of parameters in this constructor is
different from almost all the derived classes which specify the event
type as the first argument.
@param id
The identifier of the object (window, timer, ...) which generated
this event.

@name Event queuing and processing
*/

/**
Queue event for a later processing.
This method is similar to ProcessEvent() but while the latter is
synchronous, i.e. the event is processed immediately, before the
function returns, this one is asynchronous and returns immediately
while the event will be processed at some later time (usually during
the next event loop iteration).
Another important difference is that this method takes ownership of the
@a event parameter, i.e. it will delete it itself. This implies that
the event should be allocated on the heap and that the pointer can't be
used any more after the function returns (as it can be deleted at any
moment).
QueueEvent() can be used for inter-thread communication from the worker
threads to the main thread, it is safe in the sense that it uses
locking internally and avoids the problem mentioned in AddPendingEvent()
documentation by ensuring that the @a event object is not used by the
calling thread any more. Care should still be taken to avoid that some
fields of this object are used by it, notably any wxString members of
the event object must not be shallow copies of another wxString object
as this would result in them still using the same string buffer behind
the scenes. For example:
@code
void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
{
wxCommandEvent* evt = new wxCommandEvent;
// NOT evt->SetString(str) as this would be a shallow copy
evt->SetString(str.c_str()); // make a deep copy
wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt );
}
@endcode
Note that you can use wxThreadEvent instead of wxCommandEvent
to avoid this problem:
@code
void FunctionInAWorkerThread(const wxString& str)
{
wxThreadEvent evt;
evt->SetString(str);
// wxThreadEvent::Clone() makes sure that the internal wxString
// member is not shared by other wxString instances:
wxTheApp->QueueEvent( evt.Clone() );
}
@endcode
Finally notice that this method automatically wakes up the event loop
if it is currently idle by calling ::wxWakeUpIdle() so there is no need
to do it manually when using it.

This function is similar to QueueEvent() but can't be used to post
events from worker threads for the event objects with wxString fields
(i.e. in practice most of them) because of an unsafe use of the same
wxString object which happens because the wxString field in the
original @a event object and its copy made internally by this function
share the same string buffer internally. Use QueueEvent() to avoid
this.
A copy of @a event is made by the function, so the original can be deleted
as soon as function returns (it is common that the original is created
on the stack). This requires that the wxEvent::Clone() method be
implemented by event so that it can be duplicated and stored until it

/**
Processes an event, searching event tables and calling zero or more suitable
event handler function(s).
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.
Notice that you don't usually need to override ProcessEvent() to
customize the event handling, overriding the specially provided
TryBefore() and TryAfter() functions is usually enough. For example,
wxMDIParentFrame may override TryBefore() to ensure that the menu
events are processed in the active child frame before being processed
in the parent frame itself.
The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
-# wxApp::FilterEvent() is called. If it returns anything but @c -1
(default) the processing stops here.
-# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
the function skips to step (7).
-# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
-# Dynamic event table of the handlers connected using Connect() is
searched. If a handler is found, it is executed and the function
returns @true unless the handler used wxEvent::Skip() to indicate
that it didn't handle the event in which case the search continues.
-# Static events table of the handlers connected using event table
macros is searched for this event handler. If this fails, the base
class event table table is tried, and so on until no more tables
exist or an appropriate function was found. If a handler is found,
the same logic as in the previous step applies.
-# The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the
chain has a length of one). This chain can be formed using wxEvtHandler::SetNextHandler():
@image html overview_events_chain.png
(referring to the image, if @c A->ProcessEvent is called and it doesn't handle
the event, @c B->ProcessEvent will be called and so on...).
Note that in the case of wxWindow you can build a stack of event handlers
(see wxWindow::PushEventHandler() for more info).
If any of the handlers of the chain return @true, the function exits.
-# TryAfter() is called: for the wxWindow object this may propagate the
event to the window parent (recursively). If the event is still not
processed, ProcessEvent() on wxTheApp object is called as the last
step.
Notice that steps (2)-(6) are performed in ProcessEventHere() which is
called by this function.

This is an alternative to the use of static event tables. It is more

Do not confuse @e source IDs with event @e types: source IDs identify the

/**
@class wxKeyEvent
This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
one up event corresponding to each down one.
Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
from the ::wxKeyCode enumeration.
The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
zone, for example.
A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
@c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
as well.
Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
can only be done properly by the system itself.
Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
the ASCII value of this key combination.
You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
in any of the text controls shown in it.
@b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
@note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
(@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
events to be a bit simpler.

@class wxPaintEvent
A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
Please notice that in general it is impossible to change the drawing of a
standard control (such as wxButton) and so you shouldn't attempt to handle
paint events for them as even if it might work on some platforms, this is
inherently not portable and won't work everywhere.
@remarks
Note that in a paint event handler, the application must always create a
wxPaintDC object, even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows,
refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
For example:
@code
void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
{
wxPaintDC dc(this);
DrawMyDocument(dc);
}
@endcode
You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles that have been damaged
and only repainting these. The rectangles are in terms of the client area,
and are unscrolled, so you will need to do some calculations using the current
view position to obtain logical, scrolled units.
Here is an example of using the wxRegionIterator class:
@code
// Called when window needs to be repainted.
void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
{
wxPaintDC dc(this);
// Find Out where the window is scrolled to
int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
while (upd)
{
vX = upd.GetX();
vY = upd.GetY();
vW = upd.GetW();
vH = upd.GetH();
// Alternatively we can do this:
// wxRect rect(upd.GetRect());
// Repaint this rectangle
...some code...
upd ++ ;

/**
@class wxUpdateUIEvent
This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWidgets
to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.
Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck,
enable/disable, show/hide, and set the text for elements such as menu items
and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code
that is invoked when an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of the
application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets will call your member
functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you don't
have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same
handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
object, such as wxUpdateUIEvent::Check. wxWidgets will determine whether such a
call has been made, and which UI element to update.
These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is
popped up, wxMenu::UpdateUI is called to process any UI events for the window that
owns the menu.
If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting your application,
you can do one or both of the following:
@li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode with a value of wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED,
and set the extra style wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES for every window that should
receive update events. No other windows will receive update events.
@li Call wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval with a millisecond value to set the delay
between updates. You may need to call wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI at critical points,
for example when a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
delay before windows are updated.
Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a wxIdleEvent handler
for a window does not affect this because the events are sent from wxWindow::OnInternalIdle
which is always called in idle time.
wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms.
On Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu is about
to be shown, and not in idle time.

@class wxClipboardTextEvent
This class represents the events generated by a control (typically a

content gets copied or cut to, or pasted from the clipboard.
There are three types of corresponding events wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY,
wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_CUT and wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_PASTE.
If any of these events is processed (without being skipped) by an event
handler, the corresponding operation doesn't take place which allows to
prevent the text from being copied from or pasted to a control. It is also
possible to examine the clipboard contents in the PASTE event handler and
transform it in some way before inserting in a control -- for example,
changing its case or removing invalid characters.
Finally notice that a CUT event is always preceded by the COPY event which
makes it possible to only process the latter if it doesn't matter if the
text was copied or cut.
@note
These events are currently only generated by wxTextCtrl under GTK+.
They are generated by all controls under Windows.

/**
@class wxMouseEvent
This event class contains information about the events generated by the mouse:
they include mouse buttons press and release events and mouse move events.
All mouse events involving the buttons use @c wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT for the
left mouse button, @c wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE for the middle one and
@c wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT for the right one. And if the system supports more
buttons, the @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX1 and @c wxMOUSE_BTN_AUX2 events
can also be generated. Note that not all mice have even a middle button so a
portable application should avoid relying on the events from it (but the right
button click can be emulated using the left mouse button with the control key
under Mac platforms with a single button mouse).
For the @c wxEVT_ENTER_WINDOW and @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW events
purposes, the mouse is considered to be inside the window if it is in the
window client area and not inside one of its children. In other words, the
parent window receives @c wxEVT_LEAVE_WINDOW event not only when the
mouse leaves the window entirely but also when it enters one of its children.
The position associated with a mouse event is expressed in the window
coordinates of the window which generated the event, you can use
wxWindow::ClientToScreen() to convert it to screen coordinates and possibly
call wxWindow::ScreenToClient() next to convert it to window coordinates of
another window.
@note Note that under Windows CE mouse enter and leave events are not natively
supported by the system but are generated by wxWidgets itself. This has several
drawbacks: the LEAVE_WINDOW event might be received some time after the mouse
left the window and the state variables for it may have changed during this time.
@note Note the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown: the former returns @true when the event corresponds
to the left mouse button click while the latter returns @true if the left
mouse button is currently being pressed. For example, when the user is dragging
the mouse you can use wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown to test whether the left mouse
button is (still) depressed. Also, by convention, if wxMouseEvent::LeftDown
returns @true, wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown will also return @true in wxWidgets
whatever the underlying GUI behaviour is (which is platform-dependent).
The same applies, of course, to other mouse buttons as well.

and unlike other wxEvent-derived classes propagate upward from the source
window (the window which emits the event) up to the first parent which processes
the event. Be sure to read @ref overview_events_propagation.
More complex controls, such as wxTreeCtrl, have separate command event classes.

A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated

handlers.
The application should call wxEvent::GetId to check the identity of the
clicked-on window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent::Skip()

Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further

@class wxScrollEvent

Note that scrolled windows send the wxScrollWinEvent which does not derive from
wxCommandEvent, but from wxEvent directly - don't confuse these two kinds of
events and use the event table macros mentioned below only for the scrollbar-like
controls.
@section scrollevent_diff The difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
The EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is only emitted when actually dragging the thumb
using the mouse and releasing it (This EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE event is also followed
by an EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event).
The EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event also occurs when using the keyboard to change the thumb
position, and when clicking next to the thumb (In all these cases the EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE
event does not happen).
In short, the EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED event is triggered when scrolling/ moving has finished
independently of the way it had started. Please see the widgets sample ("Slider" page)
to see the difference between EVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED in action.
@remarks
Note that unless specifying a scroll control identifier, you will need to test for scrollbar
orientation with wxScrollEvent::GetOrientation, since horizontal and vertical scroll events
are processed using the same event handler.

@class wxIdleEvent
This class is used for idle events, which are generated when the system becomes
idle. Note that, unless you do something specifically, the idle events are not
sent if the system remains idle once it has become it, e.g. only a single idle
event will be generated until something else resulting in more normal events
happens and only then is the next idle event sent again.
If you need to ensure a continuous stream of idle events, you can either use
wxIdleEvent::RequestMore method in your handler or call wxWakeUpIdle() periodically
(for example from a timer event handler), but note that both of these approaches
(and especially the first one) increase the system load and so should be avoided
if possible.
By default, idle events are sent to all windows (and also wxApp, as usual).
If this is causing a significant overhead in your application, you can call
wxIdleEvent::SetMode with the value wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the
wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE extra window style for every window which should receive
idle events.

/**
@class wxCloseEvent
This event class contains information about window and session close events.
The handler function for EVT_CLOSE is called when the user has tried to close a
a frame or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows).
It can also be invoked by the application itself programmatically, for example by
calling the wxWindow::Close function.
You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
using wxCloseEvent::CanVeto. If this is @false, you @e must destroy the window
using wxWindow::Destroy.
If the return value is @true, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying
the window.
If you don't destroy the window, you should call wxCloseEvent::Veto to
let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window.
This allows the wxWindow::Close function to return @true or @false depending
on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:
@code
void MyFrame::OnClose(wxCloseEvent& event)
{
if ( event.CanVeto() && m_bFileNotSaved )
{
if ( wxMessageBox("The file has not been saved... continue closing?",
"Please confirm",
wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO) != wxYES )
{
event.Veto();
return;
}
}
Destroy(); // you may also do: event.Skip();
// since the default event handler does call Destroy(), too
}
@endcode
The EVT_END_SESSION event is slightly different as it is sent by the system
when the user session is ending (e.g. because of log out or shutdown) and
so all windows are being forcefully closed. At least under MSW, after the
handler for this event is executed the program is simply killed by the
system. Because of this, the default handler for this event provided by
wxWidgets calls all the usual cleanup code (including wxApp::OnExit()) so
that it could still be executed and exit()s the process itself, without
waiting for being killed. If this behaviour is for some reason undesirable,
make sure that you define a handler for this event in your wxApp-derived
class and do not call @c event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system
will still kill your application).
