.. _wx.MoveEvent:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.MoveEvent**
==========================================================================================================================================

A move event holds information about window position change. 
         

These events are currently generated for top level (see :ref:`wx.TopLevelWindow`) windows in all ports, but are not generated for the child windows in wxGTK. 







.. _MoveEvent-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.MoveEvent` parameter.

 

- EVT_MOVE: Process a  ``wxEVT_MOVE``   event, which is generated when a window is moved.   
- EVT_MOVE_START: Process a  ``wxEVT_MOVE_START``   event, which is generated when the user starts to move or size a window. wxMSW only.   
- EVT_MOVING: Process a  ``wxEVT_MOVING``   event, which is generated while the user is moving the window. wxMSW only.   
- EVT_MOVE_END: Process a  ``wxEVT_MOVE_END``   event, which is generated when the user stops moving or sizing a window. wxMSW only.
