    wxSashWindow allows any of its edges to have a sash which can be dragged
    to resize the window. The actual content window will be created by the
    application as a child of wxSashWindow.

    The window (or an ancestor) will be notified of a drag via a
    wxSashEvent notification.

    @style{wxSW_3D}

           Draws a 3D effect sash.
    @style{wxSW_3DBORDER}
           Draws a 3D effect border.
    @style{wxSW_BORDER}
           Draws a thin black border.

/**
    @class wxSashEvent

    A sash event is sent when the sash of a wxSashWindow has been
    dragged by the user.

    @remarks
    When a sash belonging to a sash window is dragged by the user, and then released,
    this event is sent to the window, where it may be processed by an event table
    entry in a derived class, a plug-in event handler or an ancestor class.
    Note that the wxSashWindow doesn't change the window's size itself.
    It relies on the application's event handler to do that.
    This is because the application may have to handle other consequences of the resize,
    or it may wish to veto it altogether. The event handler should look at the drag
    rectangle: see wxSashEvent::GetDragRect to see what the new size of the window
    would be if the resize were to be applied.
    It should also call wxSashEvent::GetDragStatus to see whether the drag was
    OK or out of the current allowed range.

    @beginEventTable{wxSashEvent}
    @event{EVT_SASH_DRAGGED(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_SASH_DRAGGED event, when the user has finished dragging a sash.
    @event{EVT_SASH_DRAGGED_RANGE(id1, id2, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_SASH_DRAGGED_RANGE event, when the user has finished
        dragging a sash. The event handler is called when windows with ids in
        the given range have their sashes dragged.
