NAME

       wxHelpEvent - Functions for wxHelpEvent class

DESCRIPTION

       A  help  event is sent when the user has requested context-sensitive help. This can either
       be caused by the application requesting context-sensitive help mode via wxContextHelp (not
       implemented in wx), or (on MS Windows) by the system generating a WM_HELP message when 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/1  to  check  the identity of the clicked-on
       window, and then either show some suitable help or call wxEvent:skip/2 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  show  help  for
       container windows, since processing would stop after the first window found.

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

       wxWidgets docs: wxHelpEvent

EVENTS

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

DATA TYPES

       wxHelpEvent() = wx:wx_object()

       wxHelp() = #wxHelp{type = wxHelpEvent:wxHelpEventType()}

       wxHelpEventType() = help | detailed_help

EXPORTS

       getOrigin(This) -> wx:wx_enum()

              Types:

                 This = wxHelpEvent()

              Returns  the  origin of the help event which is one of the wxHelpEvent::Origin (not
              implemented in wx) values.

              The  application  may  handle  events  generated  using  the  keyboard   or   mouse
              differently, e.g. by using wx_misc:getMousePosition/0 for the mouse events.

              See: setOrigin/2

       getPosition(This) -> {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

              Types:

                 This = wxHelpEvent()

              Returns the left-click position of the mouse, in screen coordinates.

              This allows the application to position the help appropriately.

       setOrigin(This, Origin) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHelpEvent()
                 Origin = wx:wx_enum()

              Set the help event origin, only used internally by wxWidgets normally.

              See: getOrigin/1

       setPosition(This, Pt) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxHelpEvent()
                 Pt = {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}

              Sets the left-click position of the mouse, in screen coordinates.
