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57 This style is obsolete and should not be used.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

1277 This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
1278 window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
1279 the font and the foreground and background colours.
1280 By "intelligently" the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
1281 own @ref GetClassDefaultAttributes() default attributes. However
1282 if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
1283 SetFont() and not
1284 wxWindow::SetOwnFont) changed and if the
1285 corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
1286 then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
1287 the window overrides ShouldInheritColours()
1288 to return @false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
1289 font might.
1290 This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
1291 different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
1292 are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
1293 different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
1294 they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
1295 desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
1296 just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
1297 do inherit the parents attributes.
