Forwarding child events to a top level window

[Randy Sales]

Vadim, thanks for the info.  Actually, my second question was the most
important.

void CEmVirtualViewTreeCtrl::OnVirtualRetrieve( wxCommandEvent& event )
{
    // First get a pointer the the data I need to forward with the
command
    wxTreeItemId pItem = GetSelection( );
    CEmVirtualTreeItemData* pItemData = ... some data I need to
forward...

    // Now store the address of the data in the event object
>>>    event.SetClientData( pItemData );  <<<

    // Finally, forward the event to the main window
    wxWindow * pMainWindow = wxGetApp().GetTopWindow();
    pMainWindow->GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent( event );
 }

...
2) Are there any issues with attaching a data object to the event before
passing it on, as I have done in this example?  I could find no
documentation or mail stating what's valid.  Is there a good source of
info for this type of question?

Thanks,
Randy

 This happens by default for the command events (i.e. those deriving
from
wxCommandEvent) so you have nothing to do.
