    @class wxWindow
    @wxheader{window.h}

    wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
    screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
    device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.

    Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
    the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
    have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the @ref
    overview_windowdeletionoverview "window
    deletion overview" for more information.

    Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
    @c GetXXX() methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
    wxWindow::GetSize or
    wxWindow::GetClientSize). In this case, the overloads
    are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
    results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
    English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
    variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
    class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual @c DoGetXXX() method
    and all @c GetXXX() ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
    changes the behaviour of the latter.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxBORDER_DEFAULT}
           The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.
    @style{wxBORDER_SIMPLE}
           Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE_BORDER is the
           old name for this style.
    @style{wxBORDER_SUNKEN}
           Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN_BORDER is the old name for this
           style.
    @style{wxBORDER_RAISED}
           Displays a raised border. wxRAISED_BORDER is the old name for this
           style.
    @style{wxBORDER_STATIC}
           Displays a border suitable for a static control.  wxSTATIC_BORDER
           is the old name for this style. Windows only.
    @style{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 a sunken border will be used. For more
           information for themed borders on Windows, please see Themed
           borders on Windows.
    @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
           Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the
           window. wxNO_BORDER is the old name for this style.
    @style{wxBORDER_DOUBLE}
           This style is obsolete and should not be used.
    @style{wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW}
           The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
           events. Windows only.
    @style{wxTAB_TRAVERSAL}
           Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.
    @style{wxWANTS_CHARS}
           Use this to indicate that the window wants to get all char/key
           events for all keys - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
           usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated
           without this style.  If you need to use this style in order to get
           the arrows or etc., but would still like to have normal keyboard
           navigation take place, you should call Navigate in response to the
           key events for Tab and Shift-Tab.
    @style{wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
           On Windows, this style used to disable repainting the window
           completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now
           the default, the style is now obsolete and no longer has an effect.
    @style{wxVSCROLL}
           Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar. Notice that this
           style cannot be used with native controls which don't support
           scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.
    @style{wxHSCROLL}
           Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. The same
           limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.
    @style{wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB}
           If a window has scrollbars, disable them instead of hiding them
           when they are not needed (i.e. when the size of the window is big
           enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it). This style is
           currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
           nothing on the other platforms.
    @style{wxCLIP_CHILDREN}
           Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
           repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.
    @style{wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
           Use this style to force a complete redraw of the window whenever it
           is resized instead of redrawing just the part of the window
           affected by resizing. Note that this was the behaviour by default
           before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw problems
           with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
           Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full
           repainting is always done on other platforms.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginExtraStyleTable
    @style{wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY}
           By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow() only work on
           direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag
           to make them recursively descend into all subwindows.
    @style{wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS}
           wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are
           forwarded to the parent window and so on recursively by default.
           Using this flag for the given window allows to block this
           propagation at this window, i.e. prevent the events from being
           propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this flag on by default.
    @style{wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT}
           Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows:
           this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the
           risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which
           would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.
    @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE}
           This window should always process idle events, even if the mode set
           by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
    @style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES}
           This window should always process UI update events, even if the
           mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
           wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.

        This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during

        the font and the foreground and background colours.
        By "intelligently" the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
        own @ref getclassdefaultattributes() default attributes. However
        if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using

        the window overrides ShouldInheritColours()
        to return @false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
        font might.
        This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
        different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
        are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
        different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
        they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
        desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by

        window from being used as an implicit parent for the dialogs which were
        created without a parent. It is useful for the windows which can disappear at
        any moment as creating children of such windows results in fatal problems.

        @b wxWS_EX_CONTEXTHELP

        help mode and wxWidgets will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an
        application window.
        This style cannot be used together with wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so
        these two styles are automatically turned of if this one is used.
