}}\label{wxwindow
}
3 wxWindow is the base class for all windows. Any children of the window will be deleted
4 automatically by the destructor before the window itself is deleted.
6 Please note that we documented a number of handler functions (OnChar(), OnMouse() etc.) in this
7 help text. These must not be called by a user program and are documented only for illustration.
8 On several platforms, only a few of these handlers are actually written (they are not always
9 needed) and if you are uncertain on how to add a certain behaviour to a window class, intercept
10 the respective event as usual and call
\helpref{wxEvent::Skip
}{wxeventskip
} so that the native
11 platform can implement its native behaviour or just ignore the event if nothing needs to be

25 The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular
26 window class or on all platforms.

}\label{wxwindowclose

252 \func{virtual bool

254 The purpose of this call is to provide a safer way of destroying a window than using
255 the
{\it delete
} operator.
257 \wxheading{Parameters
}
259 \docparam{force
}{FALSE if the window's close handler should be able to veto the destruction
260 of this window, TRUE if it cannot.
}
264 Close calls the
\helpref{close handler
}{wxcloseevent
} for the window, providing an opportunity for the window to
265 choose whether to destroy the window.
267 The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,
268 using
\helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce
}{wxcloseeventgetforce
}, in which case it should
269 destroy the window using
\helpref{wxWindow::Destroy
}{wxwindowdestroy
}.
271 Applies to managed windows (wxFrame and wxDialog classes) only.
273 {\it Note
} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be destroyed; but it
274 provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which may or may not be implemented by
275 destroying the window. The default implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not
276 necessarily delete the dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID
\_CANCEL event which
277 itself only hides the dialog.
279 To guarantee that the window will be destroyed, call
\helpref{wxWindow::Destroy
}{wxwindowdestroy
} instead.

294 Converts a point or size from dialog units to pixels.
296 For the x dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character width
297 and then divided by
4.
299 For the y dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character height
300 and then divided by
8.
304 Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes.
305 Dialogs created using Dialog Editor optionally use dialog units.
307 You can also use these functions programmatically. A convenience macro is defined:

650 Generic way of getting a label from any window, for

655 The interpretation of this function differs from class to class.
656 For frames and dialogs, the value returned is the title. For buttons or static text controls, it is
657 the button text. This function can be useful for meta-programs (such as testing

1051 Note that the ASCII values do not have explicit key codes: they are passed as ASCII
1054 Note that not all keypresses can be intercepted this way. If you wish to intercept modifier

1083 This member function is called in response to a keypress, if the window is active. To intercept this event,
1084 use the EVT
\_CHAR\_HOOK macro in an event table definition. If you do not process a particular
1085 keypress, call
\helpref{wxEvent::Skip
}{wxeventskip
} to allow default processing.
1087 An example of using this function is in the implementation of escape-character processing for wxDialog,
1088 where pressing ESC dismisses the dialog by
{\bf OnCharHook
} 'forging' a cancel button press event.
1090 Note that the ASCII values do not have explicit key codes: they are passed as ASCII
1093 This function is only relevant to top-level windows (frames and dialogs), and under

}{\param{wxCloseEvent\&

1155 This is an event handler function called when the user has tried to close a a frame
1156 or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It is
1157 called via the
\helpref{wxWindow::Close
}{wxwindowclose
} function, so
1158 that the application can also invoke the handler programmatically.
1160 Use the EVT
\_CLOSE event table macro to handle close events.
1162 You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
1163 using
\helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce
}{wxcloseeventgetforce
}. If this is TRUE,
1164 destroy the window using
\helpref{wxWindow::Destroy
}{wxwindowdestroy
}.
1165 If not, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window.
1167 (Note: GetForce is now superceded by CanVeto. So to test whether forced destruction of
1168 the window is required, test for the negative of CanVeto. If CanVeto returns FALSE,
1169 it is not possible to skip window deletion.)
1171 If you don't destroy the window, you should call
\helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto
}{wxcloseeventveto
} to
1172 let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the
\helpref{wxWindow::Close
}{wxwindowclose
} function
1173 to return TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
1177 The
\helpref{wxWindow::OnClose
}{wxwindowonclose
} virtual function remains
1178 for backward compatibility with earlier versions of wxWindows. The
1179 default
{\bf OnCloseWindow
} handler for wxFrame and wxDialog will call
{\bf OnClose
},
1180 destroying the window if it returns TRUE or if the close is being forced.

1253 This member function is called in response to a key down event. To intercept this event,
1254 use the EVT
\_KEY\_DOWN macro in an event table definition. Your
{\bf OnKeyDown

1255 default function to achieve default keypress functionality.
1257 Note that not all keypresses can be intercepted this way. If you wish to intercept special
1258 keys, such as shift, control, and function keys, then you will need to use
\helpref{wxWindow::OnKeyDown
}{wxwindowonkeydown

1261 Most, but not all, windows allow keypresses to be intercepted.

2116 Let's say you wish to display

2117 The window is sized so that you can only see
16 lines at a time.
2123 SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL,
0,
16,
50);
2127 Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go

50 minus
16, or

2130 You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view
2131 size by the character height in pixels.
2133 When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate
2134 the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your
2135 scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar
2136 call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called initially and also

2161 The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you
2162 click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible
2163 page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This
2164 value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed.
2166 In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows
2167 the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the
document. When the
2168 document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar
2169 will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems)

2226 The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total
2227 object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you
2228 would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the
2229 total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero
2230 and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden.
