I took a look here:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/stable/wx_wxactivateevent.html#wxactivateevent

If it had started here, perhaps I could've ventured a guess that we
could do this with MrED.

That said, where do I look in the source code to figure out how the
MrED on-activate? procedure gets mapped to the wxWindows
wxActivateEvent (or vice versa)?
