.. inheritance-diagram:: wx.ActivateEvent

|

Description
===========

An activate event is sent when a window or application is being activated or deactivated.

.. seealso: `wx.App.IsActive <../Widgets/wx.PyApp.html#IsActive>`_


Derived From
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* `wx.Event <wx.Event.html>`_ 
* `wx.Object <../Widgets/wx.Object.html>`_ 


Remarks
^^^^^^^

A top-level window (a dialog or frame) receives an activate event when it is being activated or deactivated. This is indicated visually by the title bar 
changing colour, and a subwindow gaining the keyboard focus.

An application is activated or deactivated when one of its frames becomes activated, or a frame becomes inactivated resulting in all application frames being inactive.

Please note that usually you should call `event.Skip()` in your handlers for these events as not doing so can result in strange effects.


Event Handling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

==================================================  ==================================================  
Event Name                                          Description
==================================================  ==================================================  
wx.EVT_ACTIVATE(func)                               Process a ``wx.wxEVT_ACTIVATE`` event.  
wx.EVT_ACTIVATE_APP(func)                           Process a ``wx.wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP`` event.  
wx.EVT_HIBERNATE(func)                              Process a hibernate event, supplying the member function. This event applies to `wx.App <../Widgets/wx.App.html>`_ only, and only on Windows SmartPhone and PocketPC. It is generated when the system is low on memory; the application should free up as much memory as possible, and restore full working state when it receives a ``wx.EVT_ACTIVATE`` or ``wx.EVT_ACTIVATE_APP`` event.
