+"""
+`auibar.py` contains an implementation of
+:class:`~wx.lib.agw.aui.auibar.AuiToolBar`, which is a completely owner-drawn
+toolbar perfectly integrated with the AUI layout system. This allows drag and
+drop of toolbars, docking/floating behaviour and the possibility to define
+"overflow" items in the toolbar itself.
+
+The default theme that is used is :class:`AuiToolBar`, which provides a modern,
+glossy look and feel. The theme can be changed by calling
+:meth:`AuiToolBar.SetArtProvider`.

+
+        :note: Normally, your application would not call this function: it is called
+         in the wxPython implementation to dispatch incoming user interface events
+         to the framework (and application).
+         However, you might need to call it if implementing new functionality (such as
+         a new control) where you define new event types, as opposed to allowing the
+         user to override functions.
+
+         An instance where you might actually override the :meth:`ProcessEvent` function is where
+         you want to direct event processing to event handlers not normally noticed by
+         wxPython. For example, in the document/view architecture, documents and views
+         are potential event handlers. When an event reaches a frame, :meth:`ProcessEvent` will
+         need to be called on the associated document and view in case event handler
+         functions are associated with these objects.
+
+         The normal order of event table searching is as follows:
+
+         1. If the object is disabled (via a call to :meth:`~EvtHandler.SetEvtHandlerEnabled`) the function
+            skips to step (6).
+         2. If the object is a :class:`wx.Window`, :meth:`ProcessEvent` is recursively called on the window's
+            :class:`wx.Validator`. If this returns ``True``, the function exits.
+         3. wxWidgets `SearchEventTable` is called for this event handler. If this fails, the
+            base class table is tried, and so on until no more tables exist or an appropriate
+            function was found, in which case the function exits.
+         4. The search is applied down the entire chain of event handlers (usually the chain
+            has a length of one). If this succeeds, the function exits.
+         5. If the object is a :class:`wx.Window` and the event is a :class:`CommandEvent`, :meth:`ProcessEvent` is
+            recursively applied to the parent window's event handler. If this returns ``True``,
+            the function exits.
+         6. Finally, :meth:`ProcessEvent` is called on the :class:`App` object.
