NAME

       wxCloseEvent - Functions for wxCloseEvent class

DESCRIPTION

       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/2
       function.

       You should check whether the application is forcing  the  deletion  of  the  window  using
       canVeto/1. If this is false, you must destroy the window using wxWindow:'Destroy'/1.

       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 veto/2 to let the calling code know that
       you did not destroy the window. This allows the wxWindow:close/2 function to  return  true
       or false depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.

       Example of a wxCloseEvent handler:

       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()
       (not implemented in wx)) 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 event.Skip() in it (but be aware that the system will still kill
       your application).

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxEvent

EVENTS

       Use wxEvtHandler:connect/3 with wxCloseEventType to subscribe to events of this type.

DATA TYPES

       wxCloseEvent() = wx:wx_object()

       wxClose() = #wxClose{type = wxCloseEvent:wxCloseEventType()}

       wxCloseEventType() =
           close_window | end_session | query_end_session

EXPORTS

       canVeto(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()

              Returns true if you can veto a system shutdown or a window close event.

              Vetoing a window close event is not possible if the calling code  wishes  to  force
              the application to exit, and so this function must be called to check this.

       getLoggingOff(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()

              Returns  true  if  the  user is just logging off or false if the system is shutting
              down.

              This method can only be called for end session and query  end  session  events,  it
              doesn't make sense for close window event.

       setCanVeto(This, CanVeto) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()
                 CanVeto = boolean()

              Sets the 'can veto' flag.

       setLoggingOff(This, LoggingOff) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()
                 LoggingOff = boolean()

              Sets the 'logging off' flag.

       veto(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()

       veto(This, Options :: [Option]) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxCloseEvent()
                 Option = {veto, boolean()}

              Call  this  from  your  event handler to veto a system shutdown or to signal to the
              calling application that a window close did not happen.

              You can only veto a shutdown if canVeto/1 returns true.
