## Detailed Description

An event class for handling ActiveX events passed from wxActiveXContainer.

ActiveX events are basically a function call with the parameters passed through an array of wxVariants along with a return value that is a wxVariant itself. What type the parameters or return value are depends on the context (i.e. what the .idl specifies).

## Events using this class

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

void handlerFuncName(wxActiveXEvent& event)

Event macros:

- EVT_ACTIVEX(func):
  Sent when the ActiveX control hosted by wxActiveXContainer receives an ActiveX event.

ActiveX event parameters can get extremely complex and may be beyond the abilities of wxVariant. If 'operator[]' fails, prints an error messages or crashes the application, event handlers should use GetNativeParameters() instead to obtain the original event information. Calls to operator[] and GetNativeParmeters() can be mixed. It is valid to handle some parameters of an event with operator[] and others directly through GetNativeParameters(). It is not valid however to manipulate the same parameter using both approaches at the same time.

Availability: only available for the wxMSW port.

wxString | GetString () const
| Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event.
bool | IsChecked () const

bool | IsSelection () const
| For a listbox or similar event, returns true if it is a selection, false if it is a deselection.
void | SetClientData (void *clientData)
| Sets the client data for this event.
void | SetClientObject (wxClientData *clientObject)
| Sets the client object for this event.
void | SetExtraLong (long extraLong)
| Sets the m_extraLong member.
void | SetInt (int intCommand)
| Sets the m_commandInt member.
void | SetString (const wxString &string)
| Sets the m_commandString member.
Public Member Functions inherited from wxEvent
| wxEvent (int id=0, wxEventType eventType=wxEVT_NULL)
| Constructor.
virtual wxEvent * | Clone () const =0
| Returns a copy of the event.

| Returns the object (usually a window) associated with the event, if any.
wxEventType | GetEventType () const
| Returns the identifier of the given event type, such as `wxEVT_BUTTON`.
virtual wxEventCategory | GetEventCategory () const
| Returns a generic category for this event.
int | GetId () const
| Returns the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
wxObject * | GetEventUserData () const
| Return the user data associated with a dynamically connected event handler.
bool | GetSkipped () const
| Returns true if the event handler should be skipped, false otherwise.
long | GetTimestamp () const
| Gets the timestamp for the event.
bool | IsCommandEvent () const
| Returns true if the event is or is derived from wxCommandEvent else it returns false.
void | ResumePropagation (int propagationLevel)
| Sets the propagation level to the given value (for example returned from an earlier call to wxEvent::StopPropagation).
void | SetEventObject (wxObject *object)
| Sets the originating object.
void | SetEventType (wxEventType type)
| Sets the event type.
void | SetId (int id)
| Sets the identifier associated with this event, such as a button command id.
void | SetTimestamp (long timeStamp=0)
| Sets the timestamp for the event.
bool | ShouldPropagate () const
| Test if this event should be propagated or not, i.e. if the propagation level is currently greater than 0.
void | Skip (bool skip=true)
| This method can be used inside an event handler to control whether further event handlers bound to this event will be called after the current one returns.
int | StopPropagation ()
| Stop the event from propagating to its parent window.

Returns the dispatch id of this ActiveX event.

This is the numeric value from the .idl file specified by the id().

wxActiveXEventNativeMSW* wxActiveXEvent::GetNativeParameters | ( |  | ) | const
