Event table macros

To process an activate event, use these event handler macros to direct input to a member function that takes a wxActivateEvent argument.

EVT_ACTIVATE(func) | Process a wxEVT_ACTIVATE event.
EVT_ACTIVATE_APP(func) | Process a wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP event.

Remarks

A top-level window (a dialog or frame) receives an activate event when is being activated or deactivated. This is indicated visually by the title bar changing colour, and a subwindow gaining the keyboard focus.

An application is activated or deactivated when one of its frames becomes activated, or a frame becomes inactivate resulting in all application frames being inactive. (Windows only)
