13
87b6002d 14wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
c66c3af1
VZ
15screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
16device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
17
18Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
19the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
20have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the \helpref{window
21deletion overview}{windowdeletionoverview} for more information.
22

WS
23Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
24\texttt{GetXXX()} methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
25\helpref{GetSize}{wxwindowgetsize} or
c66c3af1
VZ
26\helpref{GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize}). In this case, the overloads
27are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
28results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
29English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
30variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
fc2171bd 31class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual \texttt{DoGetXXX()} method
c66c3af1
VZ
32and all \texttt{GetXXX()} ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
33changes the behaviour of the latter.

59events. Windows only.}

a729c344
RD
61\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWANTS\_CHARS}}{Use this to indicate that
62the window wants to get all char/key events for all keys - even for
63keys like TAB or ENTER which are usually used for dialog navigation
64and which wouldn't be generated without this style. If you need to
65use this style in order to get the arrows or etc., but would still like to have
66normal keyboard navigation take place, you should create and send a
67wxNavigationKeyEvent in response to the key events for Tab and
68Shift-Tab.}

69\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{On Windows, this style used to disable repainting

75disable them instead of hiding them when they are not needed (i.e. when the
76size of the window is big enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it).
4ff4d045 77This style is currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
a647d42a 78nothing on the other platforms.}

81\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{Use this style to force
82a complete redraw of the window whenever it is resized instead of redrawing
83just the part of the window affected by resizing. Note that this was the
84behaviour by default before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw
1d89c6a7

VZ
204and when the mouse is released the capture returns to the window which had had
205captured it previously and it is only really released if there were no previous
206window. In particular, this means that you must release the mouse as many times
63e819f2

207as you capture it, unless the window receives
208the \helpref{wxMouseCaptureLostEvent}{wxmousecapturelostevent} event.
209
210Any application which captures the mouse in the beginning of some operation
211{\em must} handle \helpref{wxMouseCaptureLostEvent}{wxmousecapturelostevent}

24174c30
VZ
360Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing
361an opportunity for the window to choose whether to destroy the window.
362Usually it is only used with the top level windows (wxFrame and wxDialog
363classes) as the others are not supposed to have any special OnClose() logic.
a660d684
KB
364
365The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,
f29d3d61 366using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto}, in which case it
24174c30 367should destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.

VZ
369{\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be
370destroyed; but it provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which
371may or may not be implemented by destroying the window. The default
372implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not necessarily delete the
373dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which is handled by
374the appropriate button event handler and may do anything at all.

324eeecb 930Currently this is the same as calling
1b69c815
VZ
931\helpref{GetClassDefaultAttributes}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes}(\helpref{GetWindowVariant}{wxwindowgetwindowvariant}()).
932
933One advantage of using this function compared to the static version is that
934the call is automatically dispatched to the correct class (as usual with
935virtual functions) and you don't have to specify the class name explicitly.
936
937The other one is that in the future this function could return different
938results, for example it might return a different font for an ``Ok'' button
939than for a generic button if the users GUI is configured to show such buttons
940in bold font. Of course, the down side is that it is impossible to call this
941function without actually having an object to apply it to whereas the static
942version can be used without having to create an object first.

1459
1460\func{void}{InheritAttributes}{\void}
1461
1462This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
1463window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
1464the font and the foreground and background colours.
1465
1466By ``intelligently'' the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
1467own \helpref{default}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes} attributes. However
324eeecb
WS
1468if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
1469\helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont} and not
fa47d7a7 1470\helpref{SetOwnFont}{wxwindowsetownfont}) changed \emph{and} if the
b8e7b673
VZ
1471corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
1472then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
324eeecb 1473the window overrides \helpref{ShouldInheritColours}{wxwindowshouldinheritcolours}
b8e7b673
VZ
1474to return \false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
1475font might.
1476
dbd94b75
KH
1477This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
1478different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
b8e7b673
VZ
1479are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
1480different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
1481they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
1482desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
1483just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
1484do inherit the parents attributes.

2275Just before the menu is popped up, \helpref{wxMenu::UpdateUI}{wxmenuupdateui}
2276is called to ensure that the menu items are in the correct state. The menu does
2277not get deleted by the window.
2278
2279It is recommended to not explicitly specify coordinates when calling PopupMenu
2280in response to mouse click, because some of the ports (namely, wxGTK) can do
2281a better job of positioning the menu in that case.

2302\wxheading{Remarks}
2303
2304An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
2305sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
2306an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
2307central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
2308window classes.
2309
2310\helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} allows
2311an application to set up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
2312handed to the next one in the chain. Use \helpref{wxWindow::PopEventHandler}{wxwindowpopeventhandler} to
2313remove the event handler.

2672window's {\it best} size values. Also sets the window's minsize to
2673the value passed in for use with sizers. This means that if a full or

2675size instead of the results of GetBestSize to determine the minimum

2809An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events

2811an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
2812central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
2813window classes.
2814
2815It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} since

3092\wxheading{Remarks}
3093
3094Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font.
3095The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
3096
3097You would use:
3098
3099{\small%
3100\begin{verbatim}
3101 SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50);
3102\end{verbatim}
3103}
3104
3105Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go
3106above 50 minus 16, or 34.
3107
3108You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view
3109size by the character height in pixels.
3110
3111When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate
3112the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your
3113scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar

3141
3142The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you
3143click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible
3144page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This
3145value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed.
3146
3147In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows
3148the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the document. When the
3149document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar
3150will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems)
3151disappear.
3152
3153Currently, this function should be called before SetPageRange, because of a quirk in the Windows
3154handling of pages and ranges.

3210The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
fe604ccd
JS
3211object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you
3212would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the
3213total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero
a660d684

3214and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.

3583Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the window and
3584all of its children recursively while this would usually only happen when the
4a10e43b
RR
3585flow of control returns to the event loop.
3586Notice that this function doesn't invalidate any area of the window so
3587nothing happens if nothing has been invalidated (i.e. marked as requiring
3588a redraw). Use \helpref{Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} first if you want to
a67f1484 3589immediately redraw the window unconditionally.

3595
3596This function sends \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvents}{wxupdateuievent} to
3597the window. The particular implementation depends on the window; for
3598example a wxToolBar will send an update UI event for each toolbar button,
3599and a wxFrame will send an update UI event for each menubar menu item.
3600You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
3601UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
324eeecb
WS
3602are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
3603\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} or
e39af974 3604\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval}{wxupdateuieventsetupdateinterval} to
fc2171bd 3605limit the overhead that wxWidgets incurs by sending update UI events in idle time.

3606
3607{\it flags} should be a bitlist of one or more of the following values.
3608
3609\begin{verbatim}
3610enum wxUpdateUI
3611{
3612 wxUPDATE_UI_NONE = 0x0000, // No particular value
3613 wxUPDATE_UI_RECURSE = 0x0001, // Call the function for descendants
3614 wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE = 0x0002 // Invoked from On(Internal)Idle
3615};
3616\end{verbatim}
3617
3618If you are calling this function from an OnInternalIdle or OnIdle
3619function, make sure you pass the wxUPDATE\_UI\_FROMIDLE flag, since
3620this tells the window to only update the UI elements that need
3621to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
3622only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown.
3623The following is an example of how to call UpdateWindowUI from
3624an idle function.
3625
3626\begin{verbatim}
3627void MyWindow::OnInternalIdle()
3628{
3629 if (wxUpdateUIEvent::CanUpdate(this))
3630 UpdateWindowUI(wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE);
