@page overview_referencenotes Notes on Using the Reference

In the descriptions of the wxWidgets classes and their member functions, note
that descriptions of inherited member functions are not duplicated in derived
classes unless their behaviour is different. So in using a class such as
wxScrolledWindow, be aware that wxWindow functions may be relevant.

Note also that arguments with default values may be omitted from a function
call, for brevity. Size and position arguments may usually be given a value of
-1 (the default), in which case wxWidgets will choose a suitable value.

Most strings are returned as wxString objects. However, for remaining char *
return values, the strings are allocated and deallocated by wxWidgets.
Therefore, return values should always be copied for long-term use, especially
since the same buffer is often used by wxWidgets.

The member functions are given in alphabetical order except for constructors
and destructors which appear first.
