okay so this is the wxChildFocusEvent(3erl) page — the Erlang module definition, and it's literally all about the child focus event class. no cap, it's giving “parent window has feelings about focus” energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

A child focus event gets sent to a (parent-)window when one of its child windows gains focus, so that the window could restore the focus back to its corresponding child if it loses it now and regains later. slay focus-restoration arc. 🌈

Notice that child window is the direct child of the window receiving the event — vibe check, bestie. Use wxWindow:findFocus/0 to retrieve the window which is actually getting focus. 🫶
