2cdac558 3wxWindow is the base class for all windows. Any children of the window will be deleted
4130b487
RR
4automatically by the destructor before the window itself is deleted.

RD
6Please note that we documented a number of handler functions (OnChar(), OnMouse() etc.) in this
7help text. These must not be called by a user program and are documented only for illustration.
4130b487
RR
8On several platforms, only a few of these handlers are actually written (they are not always
9needed) and if you are uncertain on how to add a certain behaviour to a window class, intercept
10the respective event as usual and call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} so that the native
11platform can implement its native behaviour or just ignore the event if nothing needs to be
12done.

130and when the mouse is released the capture returns to the window which had had
131captured it previously and it is only really released if there were no previous
132window. In particular, this means that you must release the mouse as many times

bc5879ef

a660d684
KB
266
267\wxheading{Remarks}
268
269Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing an opportunity for the window to
270choose whether to destroy the window.
271
272The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,
273using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}, in which case it should
274destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
275
276Applies to managed windows (wxFrame and wxDialog classes) only.
277
532372a3
JS
278{\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be destroyed; but it
279provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which may or may not be implemented by
280destroying the window. The default implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not
281necessarily delete the dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which
282itself only hides the dialog.
283
284To guarantee that the window will be destroyed, call \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} instead.

297
298Converts a point or size from dialog units to pixels.
299
300For the x dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character width
301and then divided by 4.
302
303For the y dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character height
304and then divided by 8.

308Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes.

1489%%
1490%% Use the EVT\_PAINT macro in an event table definition to intercept paint events.
1491%%
1492%% Note that In a paint event handler, the application must {\it always} create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object,
1493%% even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows, refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.
1494%%
1495%% For example:
1496%%
1497%% \small{%
1498%% \begin{verbatim}
1499%% void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent\& event)
1500%% {

1503%% DrawMyDocument(dc);
1504%% }
1505%% \end{verbatim}
1506%% }%
1507%%
1508%% You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles
1509%% that have been damaged and only repainting these. The rectangles are in
1510%% terms of the client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do
1511%% some calculations using the current view position to obtain logical,
1512%% scrolled units.

1518%% // Called when window needs to be repainted.

2251Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font.
2252The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
2253
2254You would use:
2255
2256{\small%
2257\begin{verbatim}
2258 SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50);
2259\end{verbatim}
2260}
2261
2262Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go
2263above 50 minus 16, or 34.
2264
2265You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view
2266size by the character height in pixels.
2267
2268When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate
2269the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your
2270scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar
2271call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called initially and also
f4fcc291 2272from your \helpref{wxSizeEvent}{wxsizeevent} handler function.

2295
2296The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you
2297click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible
2298page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This
2299value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed.
2300
2301In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows
2302the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the document. When the
2303document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar
2304will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems)
2305disappear.
2306
2307Currently, this function should be called before SetPageRange, because of a quirk in the Windows
2308handling of pages and ranges.

2361The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
fe604ccd
JS
2362object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you
2363would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the
2364total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero
a660d684

2365and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.
