2. Re: wxEuphoria: Using wxEVT_ACTIVATE_APP

The verbiage of "app" here is ambiguous. According to the documentation, it's meant to trigger wxActivateEvent events against the wxApp class, instead of the wxWindow class.

Either way, I'm pretty sure wxActivateEvent events fire off every time the window is activated or deactivated, which is similar-but-not-quite the same as focus/blurred.

If you want to fire an event once when your wxFrame is shown, I would just keep a flag and then ignore the event on further triggers.

integer app_activated = wxFalse 
 
procedure myFrame_OnShow( atom this, atom event_type, atom id, atom event ) 
 
    if app_activated then 
        skip( event ) 
        return 
    end if 
 
    -- do activation stuff here 
 
    app_activated = wxTrue 
 
end procedure 
set_event_handler( myFrame, -1, wxEVT_SHOW, routine_id("myFrame_OnShow") )
