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

Directs all mouse input to this window. Call \helpref{wxWindow::ReleaseMouse}{wxwindowreleasemouse} to
release the capture.
+Note that wxWindows maintains the stack of windows having captured the mouse
+and when the mouse is released the capture returns to the window which had had
+captured it previously and it is only really released if there were no previous
+window. In particular, this means that you must release the mouse as many times

\membersection{wxWindow::Close}\label{wxwindowclose}
-\func{virtual bool}{Close}{\param{const bool}{ force = FALSE}}

\wxheading{Remarks}
Applies to managed windows (wxFrame and wxDialog classes) only.
+{\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be destroyed; but it
+provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which may or may not be implemented by
+destroying the window. The default implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not
+necessarily delete the dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which
+itself only hides the dialog.

+Pushes this event handler onto the event stack for the window.
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{event}{Object containing keypress information. See \helpref{wxKeyEvent}{wxkeyevent} for
-details about this class.}
+\docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be pushed.}
\wxheading{Remarks}
-This member function is called in response to a keypress, if the window is active. To intercept this event,
-use the EVT\_CHAR\_HOOK macro in an event table definition. If you do not process a particular
-keypress, call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} to allow default processing.
+An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
+sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
+an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
+central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
+window classes.
+
+\helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} allows
+an application to set up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
+handed to the next one in the chain. Use \helpref{wxWindow::PopEventHandler}{wxwindowpopeventhandler} to
+remove the event handler.
-An example of using this function is in the implementation of escape-character processing for wxDialog,
-where pressing ESC dismisses the dialog by {\bf OnCharHook} 'forging' a cancel button press event.

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

-
-Use the EVT\_PAINT macro in an event table definition to intercept paint events.

-In a paint event handler, the application should always create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object.

-You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles
-that have been damaged and only repainting these. The rectangles are in
-terms of the client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do
-some calculations using the current view position to obtain logical,

-
-Here is an example of using the \helpref{wxRegionIterator}{wxregioniterator} class:
-
-{\small%
-\begin{verbatim}
-// Called when window needs to be repainted.
-void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event)
-{
- wxPaintDC dc(this);
-
- // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
- int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
- ViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
-
- int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
- wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
-
- while (upd)
- {
- vX = upd.GetX();
- vY = upd.GetY();
- vW = upd.GetW();
- vH = upd.GetH();
-
- // Alternatively we can do this:
- // wxRect rect;
- // upd.GetRect(&rect);
-
- // Repaint this rectangle
- ...some code...
-
- upd ++ ;
- }
