/**
    @class wxMouseEventsManager

    Helper for handling mouse input events in windows containing multiple
    items.

    This class handles mouse events and synthesizes high-level notifications
    such as clicks and drag events from low level mouse button presses and
    mouse movement events. It is useful because handling the mouse events is
    less obvious than might seem at a first glance: for example, clicks on an
    object should only be generated if the mouse was both pressed and released
    over it and not just released (so it requires storing the previous state)
    and dragging shouldn't start before the mouse moves away far enough.

    This class encapsulates all these dull details for controls containing
    multiple items which can be identified by a positive integer index and you
    just need to implement its pure virtual functions to use it.

    Notice that this class supposes that all items can be identified by an
    integer "index" but it doesn't need to be an ordinal index of the item
    (although this is the most common case) -- it can be any value which can
    be used to uniquely identify an item.
