wx.ActivateEvent¶

An activate event is sent when a window or application is being activated or deactivated.

Events Emitted by this Class¶

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.ActivateEvent parameter.

EVT_ACTIVATE: Process a wxEVT_ACTIVATE event.
EVT_ACTIVATE_APP: Process a wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP event. This event is received by the App-derived instance only.
EVT_HIBERNATE: Process a hibernate event, supplying the member function. This event applies to wx.App only, and only on Windows SmartPhone and PocketPC. It is generated when the system is low on memory; the application should free up as much memory as possible, and restore full working state when it receives a wxEVT_ACTIVATE or wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP event.
