 I don't understand this -- all wxEvents are generated by wx. Who else can
generate them? But the underlying system events are usually not generated
by wx and in the case of accelerators under Win32, for example, they are
not.

 The best is to simply look at how wx code does it.

 Indeed. I don't know if it's a good idea to do it, IMO it would be quite
surprising to the user. But maybe it's justified in some particular cases.
In any case, I don't really know how to do it on the platforms other than
Win32.

 You have m_widget (return by GetHandle(), this is what you need for native
function normally) and m_wxwindow. See the comment in src/gtk/window.cpp
about them for more information.

 Good luck,
