10 @class wxWindow
11 @wxheader{window.h}
12
13 wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
14 screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
15 device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
16
17 Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
18 the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
19 have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the @ref
20 overview_windowdeletion "window deletion overview" for more information.
21
22 Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
23 @c GetXXX() methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
24 wxWindow::GetSize or wxWindow::GetClientSize). In this case, the overloads
25 are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
26 results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
27 English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
28 variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
29 class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual @c DoGetXXX() method
30 and all @c GetXXX() ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
31 changes the behaviour of the latter.
32
33 @beginStyleTable
34 @style{wxBORDER_DEFAULT}
35 The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.
36 @style{wxBORDER_SIMPLE}
37 Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE_BORDER is the
38 old name for this style.
39 @style{wxBORDER_SUNKEN}
40 Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN_BORDER is the old name for this
41 style.
42 @style{wxBORDER_RAISED}
43 Displays a raised border. wxRAISED_BORDER is the old name for this
44 style.
45 @style{wxBORDER_STATIC}
46 Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC_BORDER
47 is the old name for this style. Windows only.
48 @style{wxBORDER_THEME}
49 Displays a native border suitable for a control, on the current
50 platform. On Windows XP or Vista, this will be a themed border; on
51 most other platforms a sunken border will be used. For more
52 information for themed borders on Windows, please see Themed
53 borders on Windows.
54 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
55 Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the
56 window. wxNO_BORDER is the old name for this style.
57 @style{wxBORDER_DOUBLE}
58 This style is obsolete and should not be used.
59 @style{wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW}
60 The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
61 events. Windows only.
62 @style{wxTAB_TRAVERSAL}
63 Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.
64 @style{wxWANTS_CHARS}
65 Use this to indicate that the window wants to get all char/key
66 events for all keys - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
67 usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated
68 without this style. If you need to use this style in order to get
69 the arrows or etc., but would still like to have normal keyboard
70 navigation take place, you should call Navigate in response to the
71 key events for Tab and Shift-Tab.
72 @style{wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
73 On Windows, this style used to disable repainting the window
74 completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now
75 the default, the style is now obsolete and no longer has an effect.
76 @style{wxVSCROLL}
77 Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar. Notice that this
78 style cannot be used with native controls which don't support
79 scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.
80 @style{wxHSCROLL}
81 Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. The same
82 limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.
83 @style{wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB}
84 If a window has scrollbars, disable them instead of hiding them
85 when they are not needed (i.e. when the size of the window is big
86 enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it). This style is
87 currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
88 nothing on the other platforms.
89 @style{wxCLIP_CHILDREN}
90 Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
91 repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.
92 @style{wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
93 Use this style to force a complete redraw of the window whenever it
94 is resized instead of redrawing just the part of the window
95 affected by resizing. Note that this was the behaviour by default
96 before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw problems
97 with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
98 Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full
99 repainting is always done on other platforms.
100 @endStyleTable
101
102 @beginExtraStyleTable
103 @style{wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY}
104 By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow() only work on
105 direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag
106 to make them recursively descend into all subwindows.
107 @style{wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS}
108 wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are
109 forwarded to the parent window and so on recursively by default.
110 Using this flag for the given window allows to block this
111 propagation at this window, i.e. prevent the events from being
112 propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this flag on by default.
113 @style{wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT}
114 Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows:
115 this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the
116 risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which
117 would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.
118 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE}
119 This window should always process idle events, even if the mode set
120 by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
121 @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES}
122 This window should always process UI update events, even if the
123 mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
124 wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.

1278 This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
1279 window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
1280 the font and the foreground and background colours.
1281 By "intelligently" the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
1282 own @ref GetClassDefaultAttributes() default attributes. However
1283 if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
1284 SetFont() and not
1285 wxWindow::SetOwnFont) changed and if the
1286 corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
1287 then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
1288 the window overrides ShouldInheritColours()
1289 to return @false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
1290 font might.
1291 This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
1292 different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
1293 are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
1294 different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
1295 they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
1296 desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
1297 just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
1298 do inherit the parents attributes.

2553 You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
2554 UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
2555 are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
2556 wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode or

2565 to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
