specific types and pass them to wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent() if you

/**
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.

@param event

Post an event to be processed later.
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
gets processed.

Asynchronously call the given method.
Calling this function on an object schedules an asynchronous call to

show a modal dialog from a mouse click event handler as this would
break the mouse capture state -- but you can call a method showing
this message dialog after the current event handler completes.

CallAfter() itself is called.
Notice that it is safe to use CallAfter() from other, non-GUI,
threads, but that the method will be always called in the main, GUI,
thread context.

/**
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.
-# TryBefore() is called (this is where wxValidator are taken into
account for wxWindow objects). If this returns @true, the function exits.
-# If the object is disabled (via a call to wxEvtHandler::SetEvtHandlerEnabled)
the function skips to step (7).
-# Dynamic event table of the handlers bound using Bind<>() is
searched in the most-recently-bound to the most-early-bound order.
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 bound using event table
macros is searched for this event handler in the order of appearance
of event table macros in the source code. If this fails, the base
class event 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 ProcessEventLocally()
which is called by this function.

/**
@class wxKeyEvent
This event class contains information about key press and release events.
The main information carried by this event is the key being pressed or
released. It can be accessed using either GetKeyCode() function or
GetUnicodeKey(). For the printable characters, the latter should be used as
it works for any keys, including non-Latin-1 characters that can be entered
when using national keyboard layouts. GetKeyCode() should be used to handle
special characters (such as cursor arrows keys or @c HOME or @c INS and so
on) which correspond to ::wxKeyCode enum elements above the @c WXK_START
constant. While GetKeyCode() also returns the character code for Latin-1
keys for compatibility, it doesn't work for Unicode characters in general
and will return @c WXK_NONE for any non-Latin-1 ones. For this reason, it's
recommended to always use GetUnicodeKey() and only fall back to GetKeyCode()
if GetUnicodeKey() returned @c WXK_NONE meaning that the event corresponds
to a non-printable special keys.
While both of these functions can be used with the events of @c
wxEVT_KEY_DOWN, @c wxEVT_KEY_UP and @c wxEVT_CHAR types, the values
returned by them are different for the first two events and the last one.
For the latter, the key returned corresponds to the character that would
appear in e.g. a text zone if the user pressed the key in it. As such, its
value depends on the current state of the Shift key and, for the letters,
on the state of Caps Lock modifier. For example, if @c A key is pressed
without Shift being held down, wxKeyEvent of type @c wxEVT_CHAR generated
for this key press will return (from either GetKeyCode() or GetUnicodeKey()
as their meanings coincide for ASCII characters) key code of 97
corresponding the ASCII value of @c a. And if the same key is pressed but
with Shift being held (or Caps Lock being active), then the key could would
be 65, i.e. ASCII value of capital @c A.
However for the key down and up events the returned key code will instead
be @c A independently of the state of the modifier keys i.e. it depends
only on physical key being pressed and is not translated to its logical
representation using the current keyboard state. Such untranslated key
codes are defined as follows:
- For the letters they correspond to the @e upper case value of the
letter.
- For the other alphanumeric keys (e.g. @c 7 or @c +), the untranslated
key code corresponds to the character produced by the key when it is
pressed without Shift. E.g. in standard US keyboard layout the
untranslated key code for the key @c =/+ in the upper right corner of
the keyboard is 61 which is the ASCII value of @c =.
- For the rest of the keys (i.e. special non-printable keys) it is the
same as the normal key code as no translation is used anyhow.
Notice that the first rule applies to all Unicode letters, not just the
usual Latin-1 ones. However for non-Latin-1 letters only GetUnicodeKey()
can be used to retrieve the key code as GetKeyCode() just returns @c
WXK_NONE in this case.
To summarize: you should handle @c wxEVT_CHAR if you need the translated
key and @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN if you only need the value of the key itself,
independent of the current keyboard state.
@note Not all key down events may be generated by the user. As an example,
@c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN with @c = key code can be generated using the
standard US keyboard layout but not using the German one because the @c
= key corresponds to Shift-0 key combination in this layout and the key
code for it is @c 0, not @c =. Because of this you should avoid
requiring your users to type key events that might be impossible to
enter on their keyboard.
Another difference between key and char events is that another kind of
translation is done for the latter ones when the Control key is pressed:
char events for ASCII letters in this case carry codes corresponding to the
ASCII value of Ctrl-Latter, i.e. 1 for Ctrl-A, 2 for Ctrl-B and so on until
26 for Ctrl-Z. This is convenient for terminal-like applications and can be
completely ignored by all the other ones (if you need to handle Ctrl-A it
is probably a better idea to use the key event rather than the char one).
Notice that currently no translation is done for the presses of @c [, @c
\\, @c ], @c ^ and @c _ keys which might be mapped to ASCII values from 27
to 31.
Since version 2.9.2, the enum values @c WXK_CONTROL_A - @c WXK_CONTROL_Z
can be used instead of the non-descriptive constant values 1-26.
Finally, modifier keys only generate key events but no char events at all.
The modifiers keys are @c WXK_SHIFT, @c WXK_CONTROL, @c WXK_ALT and various
@c WXK_WINDOWS_XXX from ::wxKeyCode enum.
Modifier keys events are special in one additional aspect: usually the
keyboard state associated with a key press is well defined, e.g.
wxKeyboardState::ShiftDown() returns @c true only if the Shift key was held
pressed when the key that generated this event itself was pressed. There is
an ambiguity for the key press events for Shift key itself however. By
convention, it is considered to be already pressed when it is pressed and
already released when it is released. In other words, @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN
event for the Shift key itself will have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in GetModifiers()
and ShiftDown() will return true while the @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event for Shift
itself will not have @c wxMOD_SHIFT in its modifiers and ShiftDown() will
return false.
@b Tip: You may discover the key codes and modifiers generated by all the
keys on your system interactively by running the @ref
page_samples_keyboard wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys in it.
@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 avoid processing the
same key twice. As a consequence, if you do not want to suppress the
@c wxEVT_CHAR events for the keys you handle, always call @c
event.Skip() in your @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN handler. Not doing may also
prevent accelerators defined using this key from working.
@note If a key is maintained in a pressed state, you will typically get a
lot of (automatically generated) key down events but only one key up
one at the end when the key is released so it is wrong to assume that
there is one up event corresponding to each down one.
@note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
@c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator) and
almost all keys, including ones without ASCII equivalents, generate
char events too.
@beginEventTable{wxKeyEvent}
@event{EVT_KEY_DOWN(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN event (any key has been pressed). If this
event is handled and not skipped, @c wxEVT_CHAR will not be generated
at all for this key press (but @c wxEVT_KEY_UP will be).
@event{EVT_KEY_UP(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_KEY_UP event (any key has been released).
@event{EVT_CHAR(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR event.
@event{EVT_CHAR_HOOK(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK event. Unlike all the other key events,
this event is propagated upwards the window hierarchy which allows
intercepting it in the parent window of the focused window to which it
is sent initially (if there is no focused window, this event is sent to
the wxApp global object). It is also generated before any other key
events and so gives the parent window an opportunity to modify the
keyboard handling of its children, e.g. it is used internally by
wxWidgets in some ports to intercept pressing Esc key in any child of a
dialog to close the dialog itself when it's pressed. By default, if
this event is handled, i.e. the handler doesn't call wxEvent::Skip(),
neither @c wxEVT_KEY_DOWN nor @c wxEVT_CHAR events will be generated
(although @c wxEVT_KEY_UP still will be), i.e. it replaces the normal
key events. However by calling the special DoAllowNextEvent() method
you can handle @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK and still allow normal events
generation. This is something that is rarely useful but can be required
if you need to prevent a parent @c wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK handler from running
without suppressing the normal key events. Finally notice that this
event is not generated when the mouse is captured as it is considered
that the window which has the capture should receive all the keyboard
events too without allowing its parent wxTopLevelWindow to interfere
with their processing.

@class wxCommandEvent
This event class contains information about command events, which originate
from a variety of simple controls.
Note that wxCommandEvents and wxCommandEvent-derived event classes by default
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.

@class wxPaintEvent
A paint event is sent when a window's contents needs to be repainted.
The handler of this event must create a wxPaintDC object and use it for
painting the window contents. For example:
@code
void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
{
wxPaintDC dc(this);
DrawMyDocument(dc);
}
@endcode
Notice that you must @e not create other kinds of wxDC (e.g. wxClientDC or
wxWindowDC) in EVT_PAINT handlers and also don't create wxPaintDC outside
of this event handlers.
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 ++ ;
}
}
@endcode
@remarks
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.

/**
@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 @c wxEVT_TEXT_COPY,
@c wxEVT_TEXT_CUT and @c wxEVT_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
preventing 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 in wxGTK and wxOSX
but are also generated by wxComboBox without wxCB_READONLY style in wxMSW.

@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 the difference between methods like wxMouseEvent::LeftDown and
the inherited wxMouseState::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.

This can either be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode

the user pressed F1 or clicked on the query button in a dialog caption.
A help event is sent to the window that the user clicked on, and is propagated
up the window hierarchy until the event is processed or there are no more event
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()
if the identifier is unrecognised.
Calling Skip is important because it allows wxWidgets to generate further
events for ancestors of the clicked-on window. Otherwise it would be impossible to

found.

@class wxScrollEvent

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 @ref page_samples_widgets ("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, including even the hidden
ones because they may be shown if some condition is met from their @c
wxEVT_IDLE (or related @c wxEVT_UPDATE_UI) handler. The children of hidden
windows do not receive idle events however as they can't change their state
in any way noticeable by the user. Finally, the global wxApp object also
receives these events, as usual, so it can be used for any global idle time
processing.
If sending idle events to all windows 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, all the other ones
will not receive them in this case.

@section sec_delayed_action Delayed Action Mechanism
wxIdleEvent can be used to perform some action "at slightly later time".
This can be necessary in several circumstances when, for whatever reason,
something can't be done in the current event handler. For example, if a
mouse event handler is called with the mouse button pressed, the mouse can
be currently captured and some operations with it -- notably capturing it
again -- might be impossible or lead to undesirable results. If you still
want to capture it, you can do it from @c wxEVT_IDLE handler when it is
called the next time instead of doing it immediately.
This can be achieved in two different ways: when using static event tables,
you will need a flag indicating to the (always connected) idle event
handler whether the desired action should be performed. The originally
called handler would then set it to indicate that it should indeed be done
and the idle handler itself would reset it to prevent it from doing the
same action again.
Using dynamically connected event handlers things are even simpler as the
original event handler can simply wxEvtHandler::Connect() or
wxEvtHandler::Bind() the idle event handler which would only be executed
then and could wxEvtHandler::Disconnect() or wxEvtHandler::Unbind() itself.

/**
@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).

@class wxMenuEvent
This class is used for a variety of menu-related events. Note that
these do not include menu command events, which are
handled using wxCommandEvent objects.
Events of this class are generated by both menus that are part of a
wxMenuBar, attached to wxFrame, and popup menus shown by
wxWindow::PopupMenu(). They are sent to the following objects until one of
them handles the event:
-# The menu object itself, as returned by GetMenu(), if any.
-# The wxMenuBar to which this menu is attached, if any.
-# The window associated with the menu, e.g. the one calling
PopupMenu() for the popup menus.
-# The top level parent of that window if it's different from the
window itself.
This is similar to command events generated by the menu items, but, unlike
them, wxMenuEvent are only sent to the window itself and its top level
parent but not any intermediate windows in the hierarchy.
