13 wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
14 screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
15 device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
7c913512 16
23324ae1
FM
17 Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
18 the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
19 have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the @ref
962fb6d2 20 overview_windowdeletion "window deletion overview" for more information.

22 Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
23 @c GetXXX() methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
962fb6d2 24 wxWindow::GetSize or wxWindow::GetClientSize). In this case, the overloads
23324ae1
FM
25 are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
26 results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
27 English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
28 variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
29 class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual @c DoGetXXX() method
30 and all @c GetXXX() ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
31 changes the behaviour of the latter.

23324ae1 33 @beginStyleTable
8c6791e4 34 @style{wxBORDER_DEFAULT}
23324ae1 35 The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.
8c6791e4 36 @style{wxBORDER_SIMPLE}
23324ae1
FM
37 Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE_BORDER is the
38 old name for this style.
8c6791e4 39 @style{wxBORDER_SUNKEN}
23324ae1
FM
40 Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN_BORDER is the old name for this
41 style.
8c6791e4 42 @style{wxBORDER_RAISED}
23324ae1
FM
43 Displays a raised border. wxRAISED_BORDER is the old name for this
44 style.
8c6791e4 45 @style{wxBORDER_STATIC}
23324ae1
FM
46 Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC_BORDER
47 is the old name for this style. Windows only.
8c6791e4 48 @style{wxBORDER_THEME}
23324ae1
FM
49 Displays a native border suitable for a control, on the current
50 platform. On Windows XP or Vista, this will be a themed border; on
51 most other platforms a sunken border will be used. For more
52 information for themed borders on Windows, please see Themed
53 borders on Windows.
8c6791e4 54 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
23324ae1
FM
55 Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the
56 window. wxNO_BORDER is the old name for this style.
8c6791e4 57 @style{wxBORDER_DOUBLE}
23324ae1 58 This style is obsolete and should not be used.
8c6791e4 59 @style{wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW}
23324ae1
FM
60 The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
61 events. Windows only.
8c6791e4 62 @style{wxTAB_TRAVERSAL}
23324ae1 63 Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.
8c6791e4 64 @style{wxWANTS_CHARS}
23324ae1
FM
65 Use this to indicate that the window wants to get all char/key
66 events for all keys - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
67 usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated
68 without this style. If you need to use this style in order to get
69 the arrows or etc., but would still like to have normal keyboard
70 navigation take place, you should call Navigate in response to the
71 key events for Tab and Shift-Tab.
8c6791e4 72 @style{wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
23324ae1
FM
73 On Windows, this style used to disable repainting the window
74 completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now
75 the default, the style is now obsolete and no longer has an effect.
8c6791e4 76 @style{wxVSCROLL}
23324ae1
FM
77 Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar. Notice that this
78 style cannot be used with native controls which don't support
79 scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.
8c6791e4 80 @style{wxHSCROLL}
23324ae1
FM
81 Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. The same
82 limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.
8c6791e4 83 @style{wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB}
23324ae1
FM
84 If a window has scrollbars, disable them instead of hiding them
85 when they are not needed (i.e. when the size of the window is big
86 enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it). This style is
87 currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
88 nothing on the other platforms.
8c6791e4 89 @style{wxCLIP_CHILDREN}
23324ae1
FM
90 Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
91 repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.
8c6791e4 92 @style{wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
23324ae1
FM
93 Use this style to force a complete redraw of the window whenever it
94 is resized instead of redrawing just the part of the window
95 affected by resizing. Note that this was the behaviour by default
96 before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw problems
97 with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
98 Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full
99 repainting is always done on other platforms.

23324ae1 102 @beginExtraStyleTable
8c6791e4 103 @style{wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY}
23324ae1
FM
104 By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow() only work on
105 direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag
106 to make them recursively descend into all subwindows.
8c6791e4 107 @style{wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS}
23324ae1
FM
108 wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are
109 forwarded to the parent window and so on recursively by default.
110 Using this flag for the given window allows to block this
111 propagation at this window, i.e. prevent the events from being
112 propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this flag on by default.
8c6791e4 113 @style{wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT}
23324ae1
FM
114 Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows:
115 this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the
116 risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which
117 would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.
8c6791e4 118 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE}
23324ae1
FM
119 This window should always process idle events, even if the mode set
120 by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
8c6791e4 121 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES}
23324ae1
FM
122 This window should always process UI update events, even if the
123 mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
124 wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
