In wxPerl, many cases, this doesn't work, since (in those cases) the constant
wxEVT_SOMETHING is not exported for event EVT_SOMETHING.
An "EVT_SOMETHING.typeId" functionality (or EVT_SOMETHING->typeId(),
or EVT_SOMETHING->{typeId} ), enables you to obtain the event type
even when wxEVT_SOMETHING is not exported.

Dear wxPerl experts
In wxPython, you can find an event type by calling a method (or property?)
"typeId".
See examples below.
It seems that there is no such functionality in wxPerl (maybe since
"EVT_SOMETHING"
in wxPerl encapsulates the call to the event binder, while in wxPython,
"EVT_SOMETHING" is a lower-level subroutine?)
Finding the event type enables you to mimic (or artificially trigger) a
widget command event.
This is sometimes necessary, for testing purposes and other programmatic
purposes.
(It's necessary in order to mimic existing events, not only for custom,
user-defined events).
Is there a way to get the EVT_SOMETHING.typeId functionality in wxPerl?
Many TIA
Helen
