The 'this' in the documentation is the instance whose wxEvtHandler::Connect() 
is called, i.e. 'object' in ::Connect<> from wx_utility.hpp. In other words, an 
event is sent to the object itself by default.

In the code snippet you quoted, where ::Connect(value_ctrl, ..., this); is 
called, 'this' is an instance of InputSequenceEditor that is the parent of 
'value_ctrl' and we want to send the event to the former, while the default is 
to send it to 'value_ctrl'.
