10 @class wxWindow
7c913512 11
23324ae1
FM
12 wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
13 screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
14 device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
7c913512 15
23324ae1
FM
16 Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
17 the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
18 have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the @ref
962fb6d2 19 overview_windowdeletion "window deletion overview" for more information.

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

23324ae1 32 @beginStyleTable
8c6791e4 33 @style{wxBORDER_DEFAULT}
23324ae1 34 The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.
8c6791e4 35 @style{wxBORDER_SIMPLE}
23324ae1
FM
36 Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE_BORDER is the
37 old name for this style.
8c6791e4 38 @style{wxBORDER_SUNKEN}
23324ae1
FM
39 Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN_BORDER is the old name for this
40 style.
8c6791e4 41 @style{wxBORDER_RAISED}
23324ae1
FM
42 Displays a raised border. wxRAISED_BORDER is the old name for this
43 style.
8c6791e4 44 @style{wxBORDER_STATIC}
23324ae1
FM
45 Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC_BORDER
46 is the old name for this style. Windows only.
8c6791e4 47 @style{wxBORDER_THEME}
23324ae1
FM
48 Displays a native border suitable for a control, on the current
49 platform. On Windows XP or Vista, this will be a themed border; on
50 most other platforms a sunken border will be used. For more
51 information for themed borders on Windows, please see Themed
52 borders on Windows.
8c6791e4 53 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
23324ae1
FM
54 Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the
55 window. wxNO_BORDER is the old name for this style.
8c6791e4 56 @style{wxBORDER_DOUBLE}
23324ae1 57 This style is obsolete and should not be used.
8c6791e4 58 @style{wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW}
23324ae1
FM
59 The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
60 events. Windows only.
8c6791e4 61 @style{wxTAB_TRAVERSAL}
23324ae1 62 Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.
8c6791e4 63 @style{wxWANTS_CHARS}
23324ae1
FM
64 Use this to indicate that the window wants to get all char/key
65 events for all keys - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
66 usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated
67 without this style. If you need to use this style in order to get
68 the arrows or etc., but would still like to have normal keyboard
69 navigation take place, you should call Navigate in response to the
70 key events for Tab and Shift-Tab.
8c6791e4 71 @style{wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
23324ae1
FM
72 On Windows, this style used to disable repainting the window
73 completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now
74 the default, the style is now obsolete and no longer has an effect.
8c6791e4 75 @style{wxVSCROLL}
23324ae1
FM
76 Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar. Notice that this
77 style cannot be used with native controls which don't support
78 scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.
8c6791e4 79 @style{wxHSCROLL}
23324ae1
FM
80 Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. The same
81 limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.
8c6791e4 82 @style{wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB}
23324ae1
FM
83 If a window has scrollbars, disable them instead of hiding them
84 when they are not needed (i.e. when the size of the window is big
85 enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it). This style is
86 currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
87 nothing on the other platforms.
8c6791e4 88 @style{wxCLIP_CHILDREN}
23324ae1
FM
89 Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
90 repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.
8c6791e4 91 @style{wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
23324ae1
FM
92 Use this style to force a complete redraw of the window whenever it
93 is resized instead of redrawing just the part of the window
94 affected by resizing. Note that this was the behaviour by default
95 before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw problems
96 with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
97 Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full
98 repainting is always done on other platforms.

7c913512 100
23324ae1 101 @beginExtraStyleTable
8c6791e4 102 @style{wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY}
23324ae1
FM
103 By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow() only work on
104 direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag
105 to make them recursively descend into all subwindows.
8c6791e4 106 @style{wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS}
23324ae1
FM
107 wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are
108 forwarded to the parent window and so on recursively by default.
109 Using this flag for the given window allows to block this
110 propagation at this window, i.e. prevent the events from being
111 propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this flag on by default.
8c6791e4 112 @style{wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT}
23324ae1
FM
113 Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows:
114 this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the
115 risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which
116 would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.
8c6791e4 117 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE}
23324ae1
FM
118 This window should always process idle events, even if the mode set
119 by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
8c6791e4 120 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES}
23324ae1
FM
121 This window should always process UI update events, even if the
122 mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
123 wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
