3wxWindow is the base class for all windows. Any children of the window will be deleted
4automatically by the destructor before the window itself is deleted.
5
6%Please note that we documented a number of handler functions (OnChar(), OnMouse() etc.) in this
7%help text. These must not be called by a user program and are documented only for illustration.
8%On several platforms, only a few of these handlers are actually written (they are not always
9%needed) and if you are uncertain on how to add a certain behaviour to a window class, intercept
10%the respective event as usual and call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} so that the native
11%platform can implement its native behaviour or just ignore the event if nothing needs to be
12%done.

24
25The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular
26window class or on all platforms.
27
28\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
29\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
30\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxBORDER is the old name
31for this style. }
32\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxDOUBLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a double border. Windows only.}
33\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSUNKEN\_BORDER}}{Displays a sunken border.}
34\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxRAISED\_BORDER}}{Displays a raised border. GTK only. }
35\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSTATIC\_BORDER}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. Windows only. }
36\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTRANSPARENT\_WINDOW}}{The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
37events. Windows only.}
38\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
39\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWANTS\_CHARS}}{Use this to indicate that the window
40wants to get all char events - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
41usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated without
42this style}
43\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{Disables repainting
44the window completely when its size is changed - you will have to repaint the
45new window area manually if you use this style. Currently only has an effect for
46Windows.}
47\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar.}
48\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar.}
49\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALWAYS\_SHOW\_SB}}{If a window has scrollbars,
50disable them instead of hiding them when they are not needed (i.e. when the
51size of the window is big enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it).
52This style is currently only implemented for wxMSW and wxUniversal and does
53nothing on the other platforms.}
54\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCLIP\_CHILDREN}}{Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
55repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.}

62The following are extra styles, set using \helpref{wxWindow::SetExtraStyle}{wxwindowsetextrastyle}.
63
64\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
65\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
66\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY}}{By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow()
67only work on direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag to make them recursively
68descend into all subwindows.}
69\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_BLOCK\_EVENTS}}{wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are forwarded to the
70parent window and so on recursively by default. Using this flag for the
71given window allows to block this propagation at this window, i.e. prevent
72the events from being propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this
73flag on by default.}
74\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_TRANSIENT}}{Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows: this must
75be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the risk of creating a
76dialog/frame with this window as a parent which would lead to a crash if the
77parent is destroyed before the child.}
78\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_PROCESS\_IDLE}}{This window should always process idle events, even
79if the mode set by \helpref{wxIdleEvent::SetMode}{wxidleeventsetmode} is wxIDLE\_PROCESS\_SPECIFIED.}
80\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_PROCESS\_UI\_UPDATES}}{This window should always process UI update events,
81even if the mode set by \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} is wxUPDATE\_UI\_PROCESS\_SPECIFIED.}

101
102Constructs a window, which can be a child of a frame, dialog or any other non-control window.
103
104\wxheading{Parameters}
105
106\docparam{parent}{Pointer to a parent window.}
107
108\docparam{id}{Window identifier. If -1, will automatically create an identifier.}
109
110\docparam{pos}{Window position. wxDefaultPosition is (-1, -1) which indicates that wxWindows
111should generate a default position for the window. If using the wxWindow class directly, supply
112an actual position.}
113
114\docparam{size}{Window size. wxDefaultSize is (-1, -1) which indicates that wxWindows
115should generate a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the
116window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but obviously not
117correctly sized. }
118
119\docparam{style}{Window style. For generic window styles, please see \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}.}
120
121\docparam{name}{Window name.}
122
123\membersection{wxWindow::\destruct{wxWindow}}
124
125\func{}{\destruct{wxWindow}}{\void}
126
127Destructor. Deletes all subwindows, then deletes itself. Instead of using
128the {\bf delete} operator explicitly, you should normally
129use \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} so that wxWindows
130can delete a window only when it is safe to do so, in idle time.

138\membersection{wxWindow::AddChild}
139
140\func{virtual void}{AddChild}{\param{wxWindow* }{child}}
141
142Adds a child window. This is called automatically by window creation
143functions so should not be required by the application programmer.
144
145\wxheading{Parameters}
146
147\docparam{child}{Child window to add.}
148
149\membersection{wxWindow::CaptureMouse}\label{wxwindowcapturemouse}
150
151\func{virtual void}{CaptureMouse}{\void}
152
153Directs all mouse input to this window. Call \helpref{wxWindow::ReleaseMouse}{wxwindowreleasemouse} to
154release the capture.
155
156Note that wxWindows maintains the stack of windows having captured the mouse
157and when the mouse is released the capture returns to the window which had had
158captured it previously and it is only really released if there were no previous
159window. In particular, this means that you must release the mouse as many times
160as you capture it.

187
188Centres the window.
189
190\wxheading{Parameters}
191
192\docparam{direction}{Specifies the direction for the centering. May be {\tt wxHORIZONTAL}, {\tt wxVERTICAL}\rtfsp
193or {\tt wxBOTH}. It may also include {\tt wxCENTRE\_ON\_SCREEN} flag

196
197The flag {\tt wxCENTRE\_FRAME} is obsolete and should not be used any longer
198(it has no effect).
199
200\wxheading{Remarks}
201
202If the window is a top level one (i.e. doesn't have a parent), it will be
203centered relative to the screen anyhow.

221\wxheading{Remarks}
222
223This methods provides for a way to center top level windows over their

236Centres the window on screen. This only works for top level windows -
237otherwise, the window will still be centered on its parent.
238

281
282\membersection{wxWindow::Close}\label{wxwindowclose}
283
284\func{bool}{Close}{\param{bool}{ force = {\tt false}}}
285
286This function simply generates a \helpref{wxCloseEvent}{wxcloseevent} whose
287handler usually tries to close the window. It doesn't close the window itself,
288however.
289
290\wxheading{Parameters}
291
292\docparam{force}{{\tt false} if the window's close handler should be able to veto the destruction
293of this window, {\tt true} if it cannot.}
294
295\wxheading{Remarks}
296
297Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing
298an opportunity for the window to choose whether to destroy the window.
299Usually it is only used with the top level windows (wxFrame and wxDialog
300classes) as the others are not supposed to have any special OnClose() logic.
301
302The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,
303using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}, in which case it
304should destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
305
306{\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be
307destroyed; but it provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which
308may or may not be implemented by destroying the window. The default
309implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not necessarily delete the
310dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which is handled by
311the appropriate button event handler and may do anything at all.
312
313To guarantee that the window will be destroyed, call
314\helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} instead

322\membersection{wxWindow::ConvertDialogToPixels}\label{wxwindowconvertdialogtopixels}
323
324\func{wxPoint}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxPoint\&}{ pt}}
325
326\func{wxSize}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ sz}}
327
328Converts a point or size from dialog units to pixels.
329
330For the x dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character width
331and then divided by 4.
332
333For the y dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character height
334and then divided by 8.
335
336\wxheading{Remarks}
337
338Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes.
339Dialogs created using Dialog Editor optionally use dialog units.
340
341You can also use these functions programmatically. A convenience macro is defined:
342
343{\small
344\begin{verbatim}
345#define wxDLG_UNIT(parent, pt) parent->ConvertDialogToPixels(pt)

403

405
406Destroys the window safely. Use this function instead of the delete operator, since
407different window classes can be destroyed differently. Frames and dialogs
408are not destroyed immediately when this function is called -- they are added
409to a list of windows to be deleted on idle time, when all the window's events
410have been processed. This prevents problems with events being sent to non-existent
411windows.
412

440This function is called by \helpref{wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI}{wxwindowupdatewindowui}
441in order to check return values in the \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent}{wxupdateuievent} and
442act appropriately. For example, to allow frame and dialog title updating, wxWindows

545\func{static wxWindow*}{FindWindowByName}{\param{const wxString\&}{ name}, \param{wxWindow*}{ parent = NULL}}
546
547Find a window by its name (as given in a window constructor or {\bf Create} function call).
548If {\it parent} is NULL, the search will start from all top-level
549frames and dialog boxes; if non-NULL, the search will be limited to the given window hierarchy.
550The search is recursive in both cases.
551
552If no window with such name is found,
553\helpref{FindWindowByLabel}{wxwindowfindwindowbylabel} is called.

562
563Find a window by its label. Depending on the type of window, the label may be a window title
564or panel item label. If {\it parent} is NULL, the search will start from all top-level
565frames and dialog boxes; if non-NULL, the search will be limited to the given window hierarchy.

572\membersection{wxWindow::Fit}\label{wxwindowfit}
573
574\func{virtual void}{Fit}{\void}
575
576Sizes the window so that it fits around its subwindows. This function won't do
577anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if the
578sizers are used for the subwindows layout. Also, if the window has exactly one
579subwindow it is better (faster and the result is more precise as Fit adds some
580margin to account for fuzziness of its calculations) to call
581
582\begin{verbatim}
583 window->SetClientSize(child->GetSize());
584\end{verbatim}
585
586instead of calling Fit.
587
588\membersection{wxWindow::FitInside}\label{wxwindowfitinside}
589
590\func{virtual void}{FitInside}{\void}
591
592Similar to \helpref{Fit}{wxwindowfit}, but sizes the interior (virtual) size
593of a window. Mainly useful with scrolled windows to reset scrollbars after
594sizing changes that do not trigger a size event, and/or scrolled windows without
595an interior sizer. This function similarly won't do anything if there are no
596subwindows.
597
598\membersection{wxWindow::Freeze}\label{wxwindowfreeze}
599
600\func{virtual void}{Freeze}{\void}
601
602Freezes the window or, in other words, prevents any updates from taking place
603on screen, the window is not redrawn at all. \helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} must
604be called to reenable window redrawing.
605
606This method is useful for visual appearance optimization (for example, it
607is a good idea to use it before inserting large amount of text into a
608wxTextCtrl under wxGTK) but is not implemented on all platforms nor for all
609controls so it is mostly just a hint to wxWindows and not a mandatory

622\constfunc{wxSize}{GetAdjustedBestSize}{\void}
623
624This method is similar to \helpref{GetBestSize}{wxwindowgetbestsize}, except
625in one thing. GetBestSize should return the minimum untruncated size of the
626window, while this method will return the largest of BestSize and any user
627specified minimum size. ie. it is the minimum size the window should currently
628be drawn at, not the minimal size it can possibly tolerate.

646This functions returns the best acceptable minimal size for the window. For
647example, for a static control, it will be the minimal size such that the
648control label is not truncated. For windows containing subwindows (typically
649\helpref{wxPanel}{wxpanel}), the size returned by this function will be the
650same as the size the window would have had after calling

1823\docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be pushed.}
1824
1825\wxheading{Remarks}
1826
1827An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
1828sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
1829an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
1830central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
1831window classes.
1832
1833\helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} allows
1834an application to set up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
1835handed to the next one in the chain. Use \helpref{wxWindow::PopEventHandler}{wxwindowpopeventhandler} to

2143This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
2144tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not

2197will then own the object, and will take care of its deletion.
2198If an existing layout constraints object is already owned by the

2233
2234\docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be set.}
2235
2236\wxheading{Remarks}
2237
2238An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
2239sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
2240an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
2241central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
2242window classes.
2243
2244It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} since
2245this sets up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
2246handed to the next one in the chain.

2271propagated beyond this window. Notice that wxDialog has this style on by
2272default for the reasons explained in the

2274\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_TRANSIENT}}{This can be used to prevent a

2419Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font.
2420The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
2421
2422You would use:
2423
2424{\small%
2425\begin{verbatim}
2426 SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50);
2427\end{verbatim}
2428}
2429
2430Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go
2431above 50 minus 16, or 34.
2432
2433You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view
2434size by the character height in pixels.
2435
2436When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate
2437the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your
2438scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar
2439call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called initially and also
2440from your \helpref{wxSizeEvent}{wxsizeevent} handler function.

2461
2462\wxheading{Remarks}
2463
2464The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you
2465click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible
2466page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This
2467value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed.
2468
2469In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows
2470the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the document. When the
2471document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar
2472will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems)
2473disappear.
2474
2475Currently, this function should be called before SetPageRange, because of a quirk in the Windows
2476handling of pages and ranges.

2528
2529The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
2530object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you
2531would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the
2532total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero
2533and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.

2627\docparam{maxW}{Specifies the maximum width allowable.}
2628
2629\docparam{maxH}{Specifies the maximum height allowable.}
2630
2631\docparam{incW}{Specifies the increment for sizing the width (Motif/Xt only).}
2632
2633\docparam{incH}{Specifies the increment for sizing the height (Motif/Xt only).}
2634
2635\wxheading{Remarks}
2636
2637If this function is called, the user will not be able to size the window outside the
2638given bounds.
2639
2640The resizing increments are only significant under Motif or Xt.
2641
2642\membersection{wxWindow::SetSizer}\label{wxwindowsetsizer}
2643
2644\func{void}{SetSizer}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}, \param{bool }{deleteOld=true}}
2645
2646Sets the window to have the given layout sizer. The window
2647will then own the object, and will take care of its deletion.
2648If an existing layout constraints object is already owned by the
2649window, it will be deleted if the deleteOld parameter is true.
2650
2651Note that this function will also call
2652\helpref{SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} implicitly with {\tt true}
2653parameter if the {\it sizer}\/ is non-NULL and {\tt false} otherwise.
2654
2655\wxheading{Parameters}
2656
2657\docparam{sizer}{The sizer to set. Pass NULL to disassociate and conditionally delete
2658the window's sizer. See below.}
2659
2660\docparam{deleteOld}{If true (the default), this will delete any prexisting sizer.
2661Pass false if you wish to handle deleting the old sizer yourself.}
2662
2663\wxheading{Remarks}
2664
2665SetSizer now enables and disables Layout automatically, but prior to wxWindows 2.3.3
2666the following applied:
2667
2668You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use
2669the sizer automatically in OnSize; otherwise, you must override OnSize and call Layout()
2670explicitly. When setting both a wxSizer and a \helpref{wxLayoutConstraints}{wxlayoutconstraints},
2671only the sizer will have effect.
2672

2674
2675\func{void}{SetSizerAndFit}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}, \param{bool }{deleteOld=true}}
2676
2677The same as \helpref{SetSizer}{wxwindowsetsizer}, except it also sets the size hints
2678for the window based on the sizer's minimum size.
2679
2680\membersection{wxWindow::SetTitle}\label{wxwindowsettitle}
2681
2682\func{virtual void}{SetTitle}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}}
2683

2686\wxheading{Parameters}
2687
2688\docparam{title}{The window's title.}

2693
2694\membersection{wxWindow::SetThemeEnabled}\label{wxwindowsetthemeenabled}
2695
2696\func{virtual void}{SetThemeEnabled}{\param{bool }{enable}}
2697
2698This function tells a window if it should use the system's "theme" code
2699to draw the windows' background instead if its own background drawing
2700code. This does not always have any effect since the underlying platform
2701obviously needs to support the notion of themes in user defined windows.
2702One such platform is GTK+ where windows can have (very colourful) backgrounds
2703defined by a user's selected theme.
2704
2705Dialogs, notebook pages and the status bar have this flag set to true
2706by default so that the default look and feel is simulated best.

2737
2738Allows specification of minimum and maximum virtual window sizes.
2739If a pair of values is not set (or set to -1), the default values
2740will be used.

2779\func{virtual bool}{Show}{\param{bool}{ show = {\tt true}}}
2780
2781Shows or hides the window. You may need to call \helpref{Raise}{wxwindowraise}
2782for a top level window if you want to bring it to top, although this is not
2783needed if Show() is called immediately after the frame creation.
2784

2860\membersection{wxWindow::Update}\label{wxwindowupdate}
2861
2862\func{virtual void}{Update}{\void}
2863
2864Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the window
2865while this would usually only happen when the flow of control returns to the
2866event loop. Notice that this function doesn't refresh the window and does
2867nothing if the window hadn't been already repainted. Use
2868\helpref{Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} first if you want to immediately redraw the
2869window unconditionally.
2870
2871\membersection{wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI}\label{wxwindowupdatewindowui}
2872
2873\func{virtual void}{UpdateWindowUI}{\param{long}{ flags = wxUPDATE_UI_NONE}}
2874
2875This function sends \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvents}{wxupdateuievent} to
2876the window. The particular implementation depends on the window; for
2877example a wxToolBar will send an update UI event for each toolbar button,
2878and a wxFrame will send an update UI event for each menubar menu item.
2879You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
2880UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
2881are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
2882\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} or
2883\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval}{wxupdateuieventsetupdateinterval} to
2884limit the overhead that wxWindows incurs by sending update UI events in idle time.
2885
2886{\it flags} should be a bitlist of one or more of the following values.
2887
2888\begin{verbatim}
2889enum wxUpdateUI
2890{
2891 wxUPDATE_UI_NONE = 0x0000, // No particular value
2892 wxUPDATE_UI_RECURSE = 0x0001, // Call the function for descendants
2893 wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE = 0x0002 // Invoked from On(Internal)Idle
2894};
2895\end{verbatim}
2896
2897If you are calling this function from an OnInternalIdle or OnIdle
2898function, make sure you pass the wxUPDATE\_UI\_FROMIDLE flag, since
2899this tells the window to only update the UI elements that need
2900to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
2901only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown.
2902The following is an example of how to call UpdateWindowUI from
2903an idle function.
2904
2905\begin{verbatim}
2906void MyWindow::OnInternalIdle()
2907{
2908 if (wxUpdateUIEvent::CanUpdate(this))
2909 UpdateWindowUI(wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE);

2925If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,
2926the method will also call Validate() of all child windows.
