3 In the descriptions of the wxWidgets classes and their member
4 functions, note that descriptions of inherited member functions are not
5 duplicated in derived classes unless their behaviour is different. So in
6 using a class such as wxScrolledWindow, be aware that wxWindow functions may be
7 relevant.
8
9 Note also that arguments with default values may be omitted from a
10 function call, for brevity. Size and position arguments may usually be
11 given a value of -1 (the default), in which case wxWidgets will choose a
12 suitable value.
13
14 Most strings are returned as wxString objects. However, for remaining
15 char * return values, the strings are allocated and
16 deallocated by wxWidgets. Therefore, return values should always be
17 copied for long-term use, especially since the same buffer is often
18 used by wxWidgets.
19
20 The member functions are given in alphabetical order except for
21 constructors and destructors which appear first.
