This is only needed if you want a completly new kind of event. if you 
just have a need to send a wxCommandEvent you can do ProcessCommand(int 
id) (see your copy of the wxFrame docs) or

     wxCommandEvent e (wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED,iIndex); //10007
     wxWindow * pParent = GetParent();
     pParent->ProcessEvent (e);
