        a wxWindow based value, in which case it might determine the widget, the
        display the window is on, or something similar. The window given should be as
        close to the

        Width in pixels of a rectangle centered on a drag point
        to allow for limited movement of the mouse pointer before a drag operation

        Non-zero if the meanings of the left and right mouse buttons are swapped; zero
        otherwise.

        @a win is a pointer to the window for which the metric is requested.
        Specifying the @a win parameter is encouraged, because some metrics on some
        ports are not supported without one,
        or they might be capable of reporting better values if given one. If a window
        does not make sense for a metric,
        one should still be given, as for example it might determine which displays
        cursor width is requested with
        wxSYS_CURSOR_X.
