Of course I can use a custom event for that (Or is it better to derive from
wxMoveEvent? How would I handle those events separately from the standard
wxMoveEvent?), this was just a test and the parent is hidden anyhow.

In the parent, I have the following code, so there shouldn't be that much
interference:

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(TheParent, wxWindow)
EVT_MOVE(TheParent::OnMove)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS(TheParent, wxWindow)
void TheParent::OnMove(wxMoveEvent& event)
{
  if(event.GetId()==GetId()) { event.Skip(); return; }
  // handle forwarded move event here...
  }

For now this probably won't explode. I just wanted to avoid the hassle of
having to code the coordinates in wxCommandEvent's wxString or int member
and then extract them in the parent again...

Cheers,
Volker
