Wx::FocusEvent

A focus event is sent when a window’s focus changes. The window losing focus receives a ``kill focus’’ event while the window gaining it gets a ``set focus’’ one.

Notice that the set focus event happens both when the user gives focus to the window (whether using the mouse or keyboard) and when it is done from the program itself using set_focus.

evt_set_focus() { | event | ... } Process a EVT_SET_FOCUS event.
evt_kill_focus() { | event | ... } Process a EVT_KILL_FOCUS event.
