event.Skip()

Post by Slyde »

I'm following along in Julian Smart's book Cross-Platform Programming with wxWidgets, and I don't get his explanation of what event.Skip() is all about. My problem is that I'm not sure what it does. I'm completely lost on this and would appreciate it if someone would provide an alternate explanation. Thanks.

I am not familiar with the book, but IMO the official documentation is pretty clear on that, in just four sentences:
https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classw ... 3ee119f66c

Also, if you are not sure, how event processing flow goes, I recommend reading the Event Handling Overview, or at least this section: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overvi ... processing

Hi,
Keep in mind that the book is pretty outdated.

The best information source about the library is a documentation and the samples.

Thank you.

It'd be nice to see him update that book, especially since he's the guy who started wxWidgets :D

Hi,
Unfortunately he is no longer available to wxWidgets community - he is not dead though.

Just as some other authors of the book.

Besides - everything is online now. Just read the docs and build and run the samples.

Thank you.
