11 @page overview_referencenotes Notes on Using the Reference
12
13 In the descriptions of the wxWidgets classes and their member functions, note
14 that descriptions of inherited member functions are not duplicated in derived
15 classes unless their behaviour is different. So in using a class such as
16 wxScrolledWindow, be aware that wxWindow functions may be relevant.
17
18 Note also that arguments with default values may be omitted from a function
19 call, for brevity. Size and position arguments may usually be given a value of
20 -1 (the default), in which case wxWidgets will choose a suitable value.
21
22 Most strings are returned as wxString objects. However, for remaining char *
23 return values, the strings are allocated and deallocated by wxWidgets.
24 Therefore, return values should always be copied for long-term use, especially
25 since the same buffer is often used by wxWidgets.
26
27 The member functions are given in alphabetical order except for constructors
28 and destructors which appear first.
