+ Inheritance diagram for wxFocusEvent:

Detailed Description

A focus event is sent when a window's focus changes.

The window losing focus receives a "kill focus" event while the window gaining it gets a "set focus" one.

Notice that the set focus event happens both when the user gives focus to the window (whether using the mouse or keyboard) and when it is done from the program itself using wxWindow::SetFocus.

The focus event handlers should almost invariably call wxEvent::Skip() on their event argument to allow the default handling to take place. Failure to do this may result in incorrect behaviour of the native controls. Also note that wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS handler must not call wxWindow::SetFocus() as this, again, is not supported by all native controls. If you need to do this, consider using the Delayed Action Mechanism described in wxIdleEvent documentation.

Events using this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxFocusEvent& event)

Event macros:

  • EVT_SET_FOCUS(func):
    Process a wxEVT_SET_FOCUS event.
  • EVT_KILL_FOCUS(func):
    Process a wxEVT_KILL_FOCUS event.
