## Detailed Description

An event class for handling ActiveX events passed from wxActiveXContainer.

ActiveX events are basically a function call with the parameters passed through an array of wxVariants along with a return value that is a wxVariant itself. What type the parameters or return value are depends on the context (i.e. what the .idl specifies).

## Events using this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxActiveXEvent& event)

Event macros:

- EVT_ACTIVEX(func):
  Sent when the ActiveX control hosted by wxActiveXContainer receives an ActiveX event.

ActiveX event parameters can get extremely complex and may be beyond the abilities of wxVariant. If 'operator[]' fails, prints an error messages or crashes the application, event handlers should use GetNativeParameters() instead to obtain the original event information. Calls to operator[] and GetNativeParmeters() can be mixed. It is valid to handle some parameters of an event with operator[] and others directly through GetNativeParameters(). It is not valid however to manipulate the same parameter using both approaches at the same time.

Availability: only available for the wxMSW port.

## Member Function Documentation

DISPID wxActiveXEvent::GetDispatchId | ( | int | idx | ) | const

Returns the dispatch id of this ActiveX event.

This is the numeric value from the .idl file specified by the id().

wxActiveXEventNativeMSW* wxActiveXEvent::GetNativeParameters | ( |  | ) | const

Obtain the original MSW parameters for the event.

Event handlers can use this information to handle complex event parameters that are beyond the scope of wxVariant. The information returned here is the information passed to the original 'Invoke' method call.

Returns:
  a pointer to a struct containing the original MSW event parameters

wxVariant wxActiveXEvent::operator[] | ( | size_t | idx | ) |

Obtains the actual parameter value specified by idx.

size_t wxActiveXEvent::ParamCount | ( |  | ) | const

Obtains the number of parameters passed through the ActiveX event.

wxString wxActiveXEvent::ParamName | ( | size_t | idx | ) | const

Obtains the param name of the param number idx specifies as a string.

wxString wxActiveXEvent::ParamType | ( | size_t | idx | ) | const

Obtains the param type of the param number idx specifies as a string.
