12 \section{\class{wxWindow}}\label{wxwindow}
13
14 wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
15 screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
16 device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
17
18 Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
19 the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
20 have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the \helpref{window
21 deletion overview}{windowdeletionoverview} for more information.
22
23 Also 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
26 \helpref{GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize}). In this case, the overloads
27 are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
28 results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
29 English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
30 variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
31 class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual \texttt{DoGetXXX()} method
32 and all \texttt{GetXXX()} ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
33 changes the behaviour of the latter.

50 The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular
51 window class or on all platforms.
52
53 \twocolwidtha{5cm}%
54 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
55 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_DEFAULT}}{The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.}
56 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SIMPLE}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE\_BORDER is the old name
57 for this style. }
58 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SUNKEN}}{Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
59 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_RAISED}}{Displays a raised border. wxRAISED\_BORDER is the old name for this style. }
60 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_STATIC}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC\_BORDER is the old name for this style. Windows only. }
61 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_THEME}}{Displays a native border suitable for a control, on the current platform. On Windows XP or Vista, this will be a themed border; on most other platforms
62 a sunken border will be used. For more information for themed borders on Windows, please see \helpref{Themed borders on Windows}{wxmswthemedborders}.}
63 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_NONE}}{Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the window. wxNO\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
64 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_DOUBLE}}{This style is obsolete and should not be used.}
65 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTRANSPARENT\_WINDOW}}{The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
66 events. Windows only.}
67 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
68 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWANTS\_CHARS}}{Use this to indicate that
69 the window wants to get all char/key events for all keys - even for
70 keys like TAB or ENTER which are usually used for dialog navigation
71 and which wouldn't be generated without this style. If you need to
72 use this style in order to get the arrows or etc., but would still like
73 to have normal keyboard navigation take place, you should call
74 \helpref{Navigate}{wxwindownavigate} in response to the key events for
75 Tab and Shift-Tab.}
76 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{On Windows, this style used to disable repainting
77 the window completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now the default, the style is now obsolete
78 and no longer has an effect.}
79 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical
80 scrollbar. Notice that this style cannot be used with native controls
81 which don't support scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.}
82 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal
83 scrollbar. The same limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.}
84 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALWAYS\_SHOW\_SB}}{If a window has scrollbars,
85 disable them instead of hiding them when they are not needed (i.e. when the
86 size of the window is big enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it).
87 This style is currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
88 nothing on the other platforms.}
89 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCLIP\_CHILDREN}}{Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
90 repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.}
91 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{Use this style to force
92 a complete redraw of the window whenever it is resized instead of redrawing
93 just the part of the window affected by resizing. Note that this was the
94 behaviour by default before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw
95 problems with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
96 Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full repainting is always
97 done on other platforms.}

102 \wxheading{Extra window styles}

104 The following are extra styles, set using \helpref{wxWindow::SetExtraStyle}{wxwindowsetextrastyle}.
105
106 \twocolwidtha{5cm}%
107 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
108 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY}}{By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow()
109 only work on direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag to make them recursively
110 descend into all subwindows.}
111 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_BLOCK\_EVENTS}}{wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are forwarded to the
112 parent window and so on recursively by default. Using this flag for the
113 given window allows to block this propagation at this window, i.e. prevent
114 the events from being propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this
115 flag on by default.}
116 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_TRANSIENT}}{Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows: this must
117 be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the risk of creating a
118 dialog/frame with this window as a parent which would lead to a crash if the
119 parent is destroyed before the child.}
120 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_PROCESS\_IDLE}}{This window should always process idle events, even
121 if the mode set by \helpref{wxIdleEvent::SetMode}{wxidleeventsetmode} is wxIDLE\_PROCESS\_SPECIFIED.}
122 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_PROCESS\_UI\_UPDATES}}{This window should always process UI update events,
123 even if the mode set by \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} is wxUPDATE\_UI\_PROCESS\_SPECIFIED.}

135
136 \func{}{wxWindow}{\void}
137
138 Default constructor.
139
140 \func{}{wxWindow}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}, \param{wxWindowID }{id},
141 \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos = wxDefaultPosition},
142 \param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize},
143 \param{long }{style = 0},
144 \param{const wxString\& }{name = wxPanelNameStr}}
145
146 Constructs a window, which can be a child of a frame, dialog or any other non-control window.
147
148 \wxheading{Parameters}
149
150 \docparam{parent}{Pointer to a parent window.}
151
152 \docparam{id}{Window identifier. If wxID\_ANY, will automatically create an identifier.}
153
154 \docparam{pos}{Window position. wxDefaultPosition indicates that wxWidgets
155 should generate a default position for the window. If using the wxWindow class directly, supply
156 an actual position.}
157
158 \docparam{size}{Window size. wxDefaultSize indicates that wxWidgets
159 should generate a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the
160 window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but obviously not
161 correctly sized. }
162
163 \docparam{style}{Window style. For generic window styles, please see \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}.}
164
165 \docparam{name}{Window name.}
166
167
168 \membersection{wxWindow::\destruct{wxWindow}}\label{wxwindowdtor}
169
170 \func{}{\destruct{wxWindow}}{\void}
171
172 Destructor. Deletes all sub-windows, then deletes itself. Instead of using
173 the {\bf delete} operator explicitly, you should normally
174 use \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} so that wxWidgets
175 can delete a window only when it is safe to do so, in idle time.

183
184 \membersection{wxWindow::AcceptsFocus}\label{wxwindowacceptsfocus}
185
186 \constfunc{bool}{AcceptsFocus}{\void}
187
188 This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to
189 indicate that this control doesn't accept input at all (i.e. behaves like e.g.
190 \helpref{wxStaticText}{wxstatictext}) and so doesn't need focus.
191
192 \wxheading{See also}

194 \helpref{AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}{wxwindowacceptsfocusfromkeyboard}
195
196
197 \membersection{wxWindow::AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}\label{wxwindowacceptsfocusfromkeyboard}
198
199 \constfunc{bool}{AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}{\void}
200
201 This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to
202 indicate that while this control can, in principle, have focus if the user
203 clicks it with the mouse, it shouldn't be included in the TAB traversal chain
204 when using the keyboard.
205
206
207 \membersection{wxWindow::AddChild}\label{wxwindowaddchild}
208
209 \func{virtual void}{AddChild}{\param{wxWindow* }{child}}
210
211 Adds a child window. This is called automatically by window creation
212 functions so should not be required by the application programmer.
213
214 Notice that this function is mostly internal to wxWidgets and shouldn't be
215 called by the user code.
216
217 \wxheading{Parameters}
218
219 \docparam{child}{Child window to add.}
220
221
222 \membersection{wxWindow::AlwaysShowScrollbars}\label{wxwindowalwaysshowscrollbars}
223
224 \func{void}{AlwaysShowScrollbars}{\param{bool}{ hflag}, \param{bool}{ vflag}}
225
226 Call this function to force one or both scrollbars to be always shown, even if
227 the window is big enough to show its entire contents without scrolling.
228
229 \newsince{2.9.0}
230
231 \wxheading{Parameters}
232
233 \docparam{hflag}{Whether the horizontal scroll bar should always be visible.}
234
235 \docparam{vflag}{Whether the vertical scroll bar should always be visible.}
236
237 \wxheading{Remarks}
238
239 This function is currently only implemented under Mac/Carbon.
240
241
242 \membersection{wxWindow::CacheBestSize}\label{wxwindowcachebestsize}
243
244 \constfunc{void}{CacheBestSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size}}
245
246 Sets the cached best size value.
247
248
249 \membersection{wxWindow::CanSetTransparent}\label{wxwindowcansettransparent}
250
251 \func{bool}{CanSetTransparent}{\void}
252
253 Returns \true if the system supports transparent windows and calling
254 \helpref{SetTransparent}{wxwindowsettransparent} may succeed. If this function
255 returns \false, transparent windows are definitely not supported by the current
256 system.
257
258
259 \membersection{wxWindow::CaptureMouse}\label{wxwindowcapturemouse}
260
261 \func{virtual void}{CaptureMouse}{\void}
262
263 Directs all mouse input to this window. Call \helpref{wxWindow::ReleaseMouse}{wxwindowreleasemouse} to
264 release the capture.
265
266 Note that wxWidgets maintains the stack of windows having captured the mouse
267 and when the mouse is released the capture returns to the window which had had
268 captured it previously and it is only really released if there were no previous
269 window. In particular, this means that you must release the mouse as many times
270 as you capture it, unless the window receives
271 the \helpref{wxMouseCaptureLostEvent}{wxmousecapturelostevent} event.
272
273 Any application which captures the mouse in the beginning of some operation
274 {\em must} handle \helpref{wxMouseCaptureLostEvent}{wxmousecapturelostevent}
275 and cancel this operation when it receives the event. The event handler must
276 not recapture mouse.

287
288 A synonym for \helpref{Centre}{wxwindowcentre}.
289
290
291 \membersection{wxWindow::CenterOnParent}\label{wxwindowcenteronparent}
292
293 \func{void}{CenterOnParent}{\param{int}{ direction}}
294

296
297
298 \membersection{wxWindow::Centre}\label{wxwindowcentre}
299
300 \func{void}{Centre}{\param{int}{ direction = wxBOTH}}
301
302 Centres the window.
303
304 \wxheading{Parameters}
305
306 \docparam{direction}{Specifies the direction for the centering. May be {\tt wxHORIZONTAL}, {\tt wxVERTICAL}\rtfsp
307 or {\tt wxBOTH}. It may also include {\tt wxCENTRE\_ON\_SCREEN} flag
308 if you want to center the window on the entire screen and not on its
309 parent window.}
310
311 The flag {\tt wxCENTRE\_FRAME} is obsolete and should not be used any longer
312 (it has no effect).
313
314 \wxheading{Remarks}
315
316 If the window is a top level one (i.e. doesn't have a parent), it will be
317 centered relative to the screen anyhow.

320
321 \helpref{wxWindow::Center}{wxwindowcenter}
322
323
324 \membersection{wxWindow::CentreOnParent}\label{wxwindowcentreonparent}
325
326 \func{void}{CentreOnParent}{\param{int}{ direction = wxBOTH}}
327
328 Centres the window on its parent. This is a more readable synonym for
329 \helpref{Centre}{wxwindowcentre}.
330
331 \wxheading{Parameters}
332
333 \docparam{direction}{Specifies the direction for the centering. May be {\tt wxHORIZONTAL}, {\tt wxVERTICAL}\rtfsp
334 or {\tt wxBOTH}.}
335
336 \wxheading{Remarks}
337
338 This methods provides for a way to center top level windows over their
339 parents instead of the entire screen. If there is no parent or if the
340 window is not a top level window, then behaviour is the same as
341 \helpref{wxWindow::Centre}{wxwindowcentre}.

349
350 \func{void}{ClearBackground}{\void}
351
352 Clears the window by filling it with the current background colour. Does not
353 cause an erase background event to be generated.
354
355
356 \membersection{wxWindow::ClientToScreen}\label{wxwindowclienttoscreen}
357
358 \constfunc{virtual void}{ClientToScreen}{\param{int* }{x}, \param{int* }{y}}
359
360 \perlnote{In wxPerl this method returns a 2-element list instead of
361 modifying its parameters.}
362
363 \constfunc{virtual wxPoint}{ClientToScreen}{\param{const wxPoint\&}{ pt}}
364
365 Converts to screen coordinates from coordinates relative to this window.
366
367 \docparam{x}{A pointer to a integer value for the x coordinate. Pass the client coordinate in, and
368 a screen coordinate will be passed out.}

371 a screen coordinate will be passed out.}
372
373 \docparam{pt}{The client position for the second form of the function.}
374
375 \pythonnote{In place of a single overloaded method name, wxPython
376 implements the following methods:\par

382
383 \membersection{wxWindow::ClientToWindowSize}\label{wxwindowclienttowindowsize}
384
385 \func{virtual wxSize}{ClientToWindowSize}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ size}}
386
387 Converts client area size \arg{size} to corresponding window size. In other
388 words, the returned value is what would \helpref{GetSize}{wxwindowgetsize}
389 return if this window had client area of given size.
390 Components with $wxDefaultCoord$ value are left unchanged.
391
392 Note that the conversion is not always exact, it assumes that non-client area
393 doesn't change and so doesn't take into account things like menu bar
394 (un)wrapping or (dis)appearance of the scrollbars.

400
401 \membersection{wxWindow::Close}\label{wxwindowclose}
402
403 \func{bool}{Close}{\param{bool}{ force = {\tt false}}}
404
405 This function simply generates a \helpref{wxCloseEvent}{wxcloseevent} whose
406 handler usually tries to close the window. It doesn't close the window itself,
407 however.
408
409 \wxheading{Parameters}
410
411 \docparam{force}{{\tt false} if the window's close handler should be able to veto the destruction
412 of this window, {\tt true} if it cannot.}
413
414 \wxheading{Remarks}
415
416 Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing
417 an opportunity for the window to choose whether to destroy the window.
418 Usually it is only used with the top level windows (wxFrame and wxDialog
419 classes) as the others are not supposed to have any special OnClose() logic.
420
421 The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,
422 using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto}, in which case it
423 should destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
424
425 {\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be
426 destroyed; but it provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which
427 may or may not be implemented by destroying the window. The default
428 implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not necessarily delete the
429 dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which is handled by
430 the appropriate button event handler and may do anything at all.
431
432 To guarantee that the window will be destroyed, call
433 \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} instead

443
444 \func{wxPoint}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxPoint\&}{ pt}}
445
446 \func{wxSize}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ sz}}
447
448 Converts a point or size from dialog units to pixels.
449
450 For the x dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character width
451 and then divided by 4.
452
453 For the y dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character height
454 and then divided by 8.
455
456 \wxheading{Remarks}
457
458 Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes.
459
460 You can also use these functions programmatically. A convenience macro is defined:
461
462 {\small
463 \begin{verbatim}
464 #define wxDLG_UNIT(parent, pt) parent->ConvertDialogToPixels(pt)

523
524 Destroys the window safely. Use this function instead of the delete operator, since
525 different window classes can be destroyed differently. Frames and dialogs
526 are not destroyed immediately when this function is called -- they are added
527 to a list of windows to be deleted on idle time, when all the window's events

570 This function is called by \helpref{wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI}{wxwindowupdatewindowui}
571 in order to check return values in the \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent}{wxupdateuievent} and

717
718 Sizes the window so that it fits around its subwindows. This function won't do
719 anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if
720 sizers are used for the subwindows layout. Also, if the window has exactly one
721 subwindow it is better (faster and the result is more precise as Fit adds some
722 margin to account for fuzziness of its calculations) to call
723
724 \begin{verbatim}

735 Similar to \helpref{Fit}{wxwindowfit}, but sizes the interior (virtual) size
736 of a window. Mainly useful with scrolled windows to reset scrollbars after
737 sizing changes that do not trigger a size event, and/or scrolled windows without
738 an interior sizer. This function similarly won't do anything if there are no
739 subwindows.
740
741
742 \membersection{wxWindow::Freeze}\label{wxwindowfreeze}
743
744 \func{virtual void}{Freeze}{\void}
745
746 Freezes the window or, in other words, prevents any updates from taking place
747 on screen, the window is not redrawn at all. \helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} must
748 be called to reenable window redrawing. Calls to these two functions may be
749 nested but to ensure that the window is properly repainted again, you must thaw
750 it exactly as many times as you froze it.
751
752 This method is useful for visual appearance optimization (for example, it
753 is a good idea to use it before doing many large text insertions in a row into
754 a wxTextCtrl under wxGTK) but is not implemented on all platforms nor for all
755 controls so it is mostly just a hint to wxWidgets and not a mandatory

905 \func{static wxVisualAttributes}{GetClassDefaultAttributes}{\param{wxWindowVariant}{ variant = \texttt{wxWINDOW\_VARIANT\_NORMAL}}}
906
907 Returns the default font and colours which are used by the control. This is
908 useful if you want to use the same font or colour in your own control as in a
909 standard control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
910 colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the users
911 system, especially if it uses themes.
912
913 The \arg{variant} parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is
914 ignore under other platforms. Under Mac, it will change the size of the
915 returned font. See \helpref{wxWindow::SetWindowVariant}{wxwindowsetwindowvariant}
916 for more about this.
917
918 This static method is ``overridden'' in many derived classes and so calling,
919 for example, \helpref{wxButton}{wxbutton}::GetClassDefaultAttributes() will typically
920 return the values appropriate for a button which will be normally different
921 from those returned by, say, \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl}::GetClassDefaultAttributes().
922
923 The \texttt{wxVisualAttributes} structure has at least the fields
924 \texttt{font}, \texttt{colFg} and \texttt{colBg}. All of them may be invalid
925 if it was not possible to determine the default control appearance or,
926 especially for the background colour, if the field doesn't make sense as is
927 the case for \texttt{colBg} for the controls with themed background.

1001 Currently this is the same as calling
1002 \helpref{GetClassDefaultAttributes}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes}(\helpref{GetWindowVariant}{wxwindowgetwindowvariant}()).
1003
1004 One advantage of using this function compared to the static version is that
1005 the call is automatically dispatched to the correct class (as usual with
1006 virtual functions) and you don't have to specify the class name explicitly.
1007
1008 The other one is that in the future this function could return different
1009 results, for example it might return a different font for an ``Ok'' button
1010 than for a generic button if the users GUI is configured to show such buttons
1011 in bold font. Of course, the down side is that it is impossible to call this
1012 function without actually having an object to apply it to whereas the static
1013 version can be used without having to create an object first.

1646
1647 \func{void}{InheritAttributes}{\void}
1648
1649 This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
1650 window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
1651 the font and the foreground and background colours.
1652
1653 By ``intelligently'' the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
1654 own \helpref{default}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes} attributes. However
1655 if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
1656 \helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont} and not
1657 \helpref{SetOwnFont}{wxwindowsetownfont}) changed \emph{and} if the
1658 corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
1659 then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
1660 the window overrides \helpref{ShouldInheritColours}{wxwindowshouldinheritcolours}
1661 to return \false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
1662 font might.
1663
1664 This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
1665 different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
1666 are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
1667 different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
1668 they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
1669 desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
1670 just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
1671 do inherit the parents attributes.

2563 An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events

2565 an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
2566 central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
2567 window classes.
2568
2569 \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} allows
2570 an application to set up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
2571 handed to the next one in the chain. Use \helpref{wxWindow::PopEventHandler}{wxwindowpopeventhandler} to

2841 \membersection{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}\label{wxwindowsetautolayout}
2842
2843 \func{void}{SetAutoLayout}{\param{bool}{ autoLayout}}
2844
2845 Determines whether the \helpref{wxWindow::Layout}{wxwindowlayout} function will
2846 be called automatically when the window is resized. Please note that this only
2847 happens for the windows usually used to contain children, namely
2848 \helpref{wxPanel}{wxpanel} and \helpref{wxTopLevelWindow}{wxtoplevelwindow}
2849 (and the classes deriving from them).
2850
2851 This method is called implicitly by
2852 \helpref{wxWindow::SetSizer}{wxwindowsetsizer} but if you use
2853 \helpref{wxWindow::SetConstraints}{wxwindowsetconstraints} you should call it
2854 manually or otherwise the window layout won't be correctly updated when its
2855 size changes.
2856

2868
2869 \func{virtual bool}{SetBackgroundColour}{\param{const wxColour\& }{colour}}
2870
2871 Sets the background colour of the window.
2872
2873 Please see \helpref{InheritAttributes}{wxwindowinheritattributes} for
2874 explanation of the difference between this method and
2875 \helpref{SetOwnBackgroundColour}{wxwindowsetownbackgroundcolour}.
2876
2877 \wxheading{Parameters}
2878
2879 \docparam{colour}{The colour to be used as the background colour, pass
2880 {\tt wxNullColour} to reset to the default colour.}
2881
2882 \wxheading{Remarks}
2883
2884 The background colour is usually painted by the default\rtfsp
2885 \helpref{wxEraseEvent}{wxeraseevent} event handler function
2886 under Windows and automatically under GTK.
2887
2888 Note that setting the background colour does not cause an immediate refresh, so you
2889 may wish to call \helpref{wxWindow::ClearBackground}{wxwindowclearbackground} or \helpref{wxWindow::Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} after
2890 calling this function.
2891
2892 Using this function will disable attempts to use themes for this
2893 window, if the system supports them. Use with care since usually the
2894 themes represent the appearance chosen by the user to be used for all
2895 applications on the system.

2926
2927 This method is only implemented by ports which have support for
2928 native TAB traversal (such as GTK+ 2.0). It is called by wxWidgets'
2929 container control code to give the native system a hint when
2930 doing TAB traversal. A call to this does not disable or change
2931 the effect of programmatically calling

2952 \func{virtual void}{SetClientSize}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ size}}
2953
2954 This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
2955 tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not
2956 worry about what dimensions the border or title bar have when trying to fit the window
2957 around panel items, for example.
2958
2959 \wxheading{Parameters}
2960
2961 \docparam{width}{The required client area width.}

2982 If an existing layout constraints object is already owned by the
2983 window, it will be deleted.

2992 You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use
2993 the constraints automatically in OnSize; otherwise, you must override OnSize and call Layout()
2994 explicitly. When setting both a wxLayoutConstraints and a \helpref{wxSizer}{wxsizer}, only the

3049
3050 \docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be set.}
3051
3052 \wxheading{Remarks}
3053
3054 An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
3055 sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
3056 an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
3057 central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
3058 window classes.
3059
3060 It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler}
3061 since this sets up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by
3062 one event handler is handed to the next one in the chain.

3085 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_BLOCK\_EVENTS}}{Normally, the command
3086 events are propagated upwards to the window parent recursively until a handler
3087 for them is found. Using this style allows to prevent them from being
3088 propagated beyond this window. Notice that wxDialog has this style on by
3089 default for the reasons explained in the
3090 \helpref{event processing overview}{eventprocessing}.}
3091 \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWS\_EX\_TRANSIENT}}{This can be used to prevent a

3125
3126 This function is called by wxWidgets keyboard navigation code when the user
3127 gives the focus to this window from keyboard (e.g. using {\tt TAB} key).
3128 By default this method simply calls \helpref{SetFocus}{wxwindowsetfocus} but

3138 use \helpref{SetOwnFont}{wxwindowsetownfont} instead in this case and
3139 see \helpref{InheritAttributes}{wxwindowinheritattributes} for more
3140 explanations.
3141
3142 Please notice that the given font is \emph{not} automatically used for
3143 \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} objects associated with this window, you need to
3144 call \helpref{wxDC::SetFont()}{wxdcsetfont} too. However this font is used by

3375 Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font.
3376 The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
3377
3378 You would use:
3379
3380 {\small%
3381 \begin{verbatim}
3382 SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50);
3383 \end{verbatim}
3384 }
3385
3386 Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go
3387 above 50 minus 16, or 34.
3388
3389 You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view
3390 size by the character height in pixels.
3391
3392 When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate
3393 the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your
3394 scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar
3395 call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called initially and also
3396 from your \helpref{wxSizeEvent}{wxsizeevent} handler function.

3422
3423 The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you
3424 click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible
3425 page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This
3426 value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed.
3427
3428 In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows
3429 the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the document. When the
3430 document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar
3431 will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems)
3432 disappear.
3433
3434 Currently, this function should be called before SetPageRange, because of a quirk in the Windows
3435 handling of pages and ranges.

3491 The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
3492 object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you
3493 would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the
3494 total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero
3495 and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.

3707 If a pair of values is not set (or set to -1), the default values
3708 will be used.
3709
3710 \wxheading{Parameters}

3741 Sets the style of the window. Please note that some styles cannot be changed
3742 after the window creation and that \helpref{Refresh()}{wxwindowrefresh} might
3743 need to be be called after changing the others for the change to take place

3754
3755 \func{void}{SetWindowVariant}{\param{wxWindowVariant}{variant}}
3756
3757 This function can be called under all platforms but only does anything under
3758 Mac OS X 10.3+ currently. Under this system, each of the standard control can
3759 exist in several sizes which correspond to the elements of wxWindowVariant
3760 enum:
3761 \begin{verbatim}
3762 enum wxWindowVariant
3763 {
3764 wxWINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL, // Normal size
3765 wxWINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL, // Smaller size (about 25 % smaller than normal )
3766 wxWINDOW_VARIANT_MINI, // Mini size (about 33 % smaller than normal )
3767 wxWINDOW_VARIANT_LARGE, // Large size (about 25 % larger than normal )
3768 };
3769 \end{verbatim}
3770
3771 By default the controls use the normal size, of course, but this function can
3772 be used to change this.

3779 Return \true from here to allow the colours of this window to be changed by
3780 \helpref{InheritAttributes}{wxwindowinheritattributes}, returning \false
3781 forbids inheriting them from the parent window.
3782
3783 The base class version returns \false, but this method is overridden in
3784 \helpref{wxControl}{wxcontrol} where it returns \true.

3787 \membersection{wxWindow::Show}\label{wxwindowshow}
3788
3789 \func{virtual bool}{Show}{\param{bool}{ show = {\tt true}}}
3790
3791 Shows or hides the window. You may need to call \helpref{Raise}{wxwindowraise}
3792 for a top level window if you want to bring it to top, although this is not
3793 needed if Show() is called immediately after the frame creation.
3794
3795 \wxheading{Parameters}
3796
3797 \docparam{show}{If {\tt true} displays the window. Otherwise, hides it.}
3798
3799 \wxheading{Return value}
3800

3812
3813 \func{virtual bool}{ShowWithEffect}{\param{wxShowEffect }{effect}, \param{unsigned }{timeout = $0$}, \param{wxDirection }{dir = wxBOTTOM}}
3814
3815 This function shows a window, like \helpref{Show()}{wxwindowshow}, but using a
3816 special visual effect if possible.
3817
3818 Possible values for \arg{effect} are:
3819 \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
3820 \twocolitem{wxSHOW\_EFFECT\_ROLL}{Roll window effect}
3821 \twocolitem{wxSHOW\_EFFECT\_SLIDE}{Sliding window effect}
3822 \twocolitem{wxSHOW\_EFFECT\_BLEND}{Fade in or out effect}
3823 \twocolitem{wxSHOW\_EFFECT\_EXPAND}{Expanding or collapsing effect}
3824 \end{twocollist}
3825
3826 For the roll and slide effects the \arg{dir} parameter specifies the animation
3827 direction: it can be one of \texttt{wxTOP}, \texttt{wxBOTTOM}, \texttt{wxLEFT}
3828 or \texttt{wxRIGHT}. For the other effects, this parameter is unused.
3829
3830 The \arg{timeout} parameter specifies the time of the animation, in
3831 milliseconds. If the default value of $0$ is used, the default animation time
3832 for the current platform is used.
3833
3834 Currently this function is only implemented in wxMSW and does the same thing as
3835 Show() in the other ports.

3956 \membersection{wxWindow::Update}\label{wxwindowupdate}
3957
3958 \func{virtual void}{Update}{\void}
3959
3960 Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the window and
3961 all of its children recursively while this would usually only happen when the
3962 flow of control returns to the event loop.
3963 Notice that this function doesn't invalidate any area of the window so
3964 nothing happens if nothing has been invalidated (i.e. marked as requiring
3965 a redraw). Use \helpref{Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} first if you want to
3966 immediately redraw the window unconditionally.
3967
3968
3969 \membersection{wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI}\label{wxwindowupdatewindowui}
3970
3971 \func{virtual void}{UpdateWindowUI}{\param{long}{ flags = wxUPDATE\_UI\_NONE}}
3972
3973 This function sends \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvents}{wxupdateuievent} to
3974 the window. The particular implementation depends on the window; for
3975 example a wxToolBar will send an update UI event for each toolbar button,
3976 and a wxFrame will send an update UI event for each menubar menu item.
3977 You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
3978 UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
3979 are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
3980 \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} or
3981 \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval}{wxupdateuieventsetupdateinterval} to
3982 limit the overhead that wxWidgets incurs by sending update UI events in idle time.
3983
3984 {\it flags} should be a bitlist of one or more of the following values.
3985
3986 \begin{verbatim}
3987 enum wxUpdateUI
3988 {
3989 wxUPDATE_UI_NONE = 0x0000, // No particular value
3990 wxUPDATE_UI_RECURSE = 0x0001, // Call the function for descendants
3991 wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE = 0x0002 // Invoked from On(Internal)Idle
3992 };
3993 \end{verbatim}
3994
3995 If you are calling this function from an OnInternalIdle or OnIdle
3996 function, make sure you pass the wxUPDATE\_UI\_FROMIDLE flag, since
3997 this tells the window to only update the UI elements that need
3998 to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
3999 only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown.
4000 The following is an example of how to call UpdateWindowUI from
4001 an idle function.
4002
4003 \begin{verbatim}
4004 void MyWindow::OnInternalIdle()
4005 {
4006 if (wxUpdateUIEvent::CanUpdate(this))
4007 UpdateWindowUI(wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE);

4047 \wxheading{Parameters}

4058 words, the returned value is what would
4059 \helpref{GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize} return if this window had
4060 given window size. Components with $wxDefaultCoord$ value are left unchanged.
4061
4062 Note that the conversion is not always exact, it assumes that non-client area
4063 doesn't change and so doesn't take into account things like menu bar
4064 (un)wrapping or (dis)appearance of the scrollbars.
