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
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.
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.

25The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular
26window class or on all platforms.

30\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxBORDER is the old name
31for this style. }

37events. Windows only.}
38\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_3D}}{Prevents the children of this window taking on 3D styles, even though
39the application-wide policy is for 3D controls. Windows only.}
40\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
41\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWANTS\_CHARS}}{Use this to indicate that the window
42wants to get all char events - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
43usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated without
44this style}
45\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{Disables repainting
46the window completely when its size is changed - you will have to repaint the
47new window area manually if you use this style. Currently only has an effect for
48Windows.}

74
75Constructs a window, which can be a child of a frame, dialog or any other non-control window.
76
77\wxheading{Parameters}
78
79\docparam{parent}{Pointer to a parent window.}
80
81\docparam{id}{Window identifier. If -1, will automatically create an identifier.}
82
83\docparam{pos}{Window position. wxDefaultPosition is (-1, -1) which indicates that wxWindows
84should generate a default position for the window. If using the wxWindow class directly, supply
85an actual position.}
86
87\docparam{size}{Window size. wxDefaultSize is (-1, -1) which indicates that wxWindows
88should generate a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the
89window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but obviously not
90correctly sized. }
91
92\docparam{style}{Window style. For generic window styles, please see \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}.}
93
94\docparam{name}{Window name.}
95
96\membersection{wxWindow::\destruct{wxWindow}}
97
98\func{}{\destruct{wxWindow}}{\void}
99
100Destructor. Deletes all subwindows, then deletes itself. Instead of using
101the {\bf delete} operator explicitly, you should normally
102use \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} so that wxWindows
103can delete a window only when it is safe to do so, in idle time.

111\membersection{wxWindow::AddChild}
112
113\func{virtual void}{AddChild}{\param{wxWindow* }{child}}
114
115Adds a child window. This is called automatically by window creation
116functions so should not be required by the application programmer.
117
118\wxheading{Parameters}
119
120\docparam{child}{Child window to add.}
121
122\membersection{wxWindow::CaptureMouse}\label{wxwindowcapturemouse}
123
124\func{virtual void}{CaptureMouse}{\void}
125
126Directs all mouse input to this window. Call \helpref{wxWindow::ReleaseMouse}{wxwindowreleasemouse} to
127release the capture.
128
129Note that wxWindows maintains the stack of windows having captured the mouse
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
133as you capture it.

158
159\func{void}{Centre}{\param{int}{ direction = wxBOTH}}
160
161Centres the window.
162
163\wxheading{Parameters}
164
165\docparam{direction}{Specifies the direction for the centering. May be {\tt wxHORIZONTAL}, {\tt wxVERTICAL}\rtfsp
166or {\tt wxBOTH}. It may also include {\tt wxCENTRE\_ON\_SCREEN} flag
167if you want to center the window on the entire screen and not on its

169
170The flag {\tt wxCENTRE\_FRAME} is obsolete and should not be used any longer
171(it has no effect).
172
173\wxheading{Remarks}
174
175If the window is a top level one (i.e. doesn't have a parent), it will be

193
194\wxheading{Remarks}
195
196This methods provides for a way to center top level windows over their
197parents instead of the entire screen. If there is no parent or if the
198window is not a top level window, then behaviour is the same as
199\helpref{wxWindow::Centre}{wxwindowcentre}.

209Centres the window on screen. This only works for top level windows -
210otherwise, the window will still be centered on its parent.
211

255\membersection{wxWindow::Close}\label{wxwindowclose}
256
257\func{virtual bool}{Close}{\param{bool}{ force = {\tt FALSE}}}
258
259The purpose of this call is to provide a safer way of destroying a window than using
260the {\it delete} operator.
261
262\wxheading{Parameters}
263
264\docparam{force}{{\tt FALSE} if the window's close handler should be able to veto the destruction
265of this window, {\tt TRUE} if it cannot.}
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
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.

295
296\func{wxSize}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ sz}}
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.
305
306\wxheading{Remarks}
307
308Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes.
309Dialogs created using Dialog Editor optionally use dialog units.
310
311You can also use these functions programmatically. A convenience macro is defined:
312
313{\small

376Destroys the window safely. Use this function instead of the delete operator, since
377different window classes can be destroyed differently. Frames and dialogs
378are not destroyed immediately when this function is called - they are added
379to a list of windows to be deleted on idle time, when all the window's events
380have been processed. This prevents problems with events being sent to non-existant
381windows.
382

526Freezes the window or, in other words, prevents any updates from taking place
527on screen, the window is not redrawn at all. \helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} must
528be called to reenable window redrawing.
529
530This method is useful for visual appearance optimization (for example, it
531is a good idea to use it before inserting large amount of text into a
532wxTextCtrl under wxGTK) but is not implemented on all platforms nor for all

552This functions returns the best acceptable minimal size for the window. For
553example, for a static control, it will be the minimal size such that the

1937
1938\docparam{colour}{The colour to be used as the background colour.}
1939
1940\wxheading{Remarks}
1941
1942The background colour is usually painted by the default\rtfsp
1943\helpref{wxEraseEvent}{wxeraseevent} event handler function
1944under Windows and automatically under GTK.
1945
1946Note that setting the background colour does not cause an immediate refresh, so you
1947may wish to call \helpref{wxWindow::Clear}{wxwindowclear} or \helpref{wxWindow::Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} after
1948calling this function.
1949
1950Use this function with care under GTK as the new appearance of the window might
1951not look equally well when used with "Themes", i.e GTK's ability to change its
1952look as the user wishes with run-time loadable modules.

1974
1975This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
1976tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not
1977worry about what dimensions the border or title bar have when trying to fit the window

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
2272from your \helpref{wxSizeEvent}{wxsizeevent} handler function.

2293
2294\wxheading{Remarks}
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.

2359\wxheading{Remarks}
2360
2361The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
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
2365and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.
