21 This is the common base class of wxTopLevelWindow and wxPopupWindow and is
22 not used directly.

24 Currently the only additional functionality it provides, compared to base
25 wxWindow class, is the ability to set the window shape.

37 an empty wxRegion. Returns @true if the operation is successful.

48 the window border along the specified path.

50 For example, to make a clock-like circular window you could use
51 @code
52 wxSize size = GetSize();
53 wxGraphicsPath
54 path = wxGraphicsRenderer::GetDefaultRenderer()->CreatePath();
55 path.AddCircle(size.x/2, size.y/2, 30);
56 SetShape(path);

59 As the overload above, this method is not guaranteed to work on all
60 platforms but currently does work in wxMSW, wxOSX/Cocoa and wxGTK (with
61 the appropriate but almost always present X11 extensions) ports.
