wxEVT_CATEGORY_USER_INPUT                                                        This category groups those events which are generated directly from the user through input devices like mouse and keyboard and usually result in data to be processed from the application (e.g.                      
wxEVT_CATEGORY_SOCKET                                                            This category is for `SocketEvent`     .                      
wxEVT_CATEGORY_TIMER                                                             This category is for :ref:`wx.TimerEvent`.                      
wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD                                                            This category is for any event used to send notifications from the secondary threads to the main one or in general for notifications among different threads (which may or may not be user-generated).                      
wxEVT_CATEGORY_ALL                                                               This mask is used in :meth:`wx.EventLoopBase.YieldFor`   to specify that all event categories should be processed.
