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60 This style is obsolete and should not be used.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

1249 if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using

1255 to return @false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
1256 font might.
1257 This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
1258 different usage scenarios. The most common one is when all default attributes
1259 are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
1260 different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
1261 they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed

1264 do inherit the parents attributes.

2555 You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
2556 UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
2557 are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
2558 wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode or
2559 wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval to
2560 limit the overhead that wxWidgets incurs by sending update UI events in idle
2561 time.

2567 to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
2568 only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown.
