The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular

for this style. }

+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SUNKEN}}{Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_RAISED}}{Displays a raised border. wxRAISED\_BORDER is the old name for this style. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_STATIC}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC\_BORDER is the old name for this style. Windows only. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_THEME}}{Displays a themed border where possible. Currently this has an effect on Windows XP and above only.
+For more information on themed borders, please see \helpref{Themed borders on Windows}{wxmswthemedborders}.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_NONE}}{Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the window. wxNO\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTRANSPARENT\_WINDOW}}{The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
events. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
the window wants to get all char/key events for all keys - even for
keys like TAB or ENTER which are usually used for dialog navigation
and which wouldn't be generated without this style. If you need to

+\helpref{Navigate}{wxwindownavigate} in response to the key events for
+Tab and Shift-Tab.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{On Windows, this style used to disable repainting
the window completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now the default, the style is now obsolete
and no longer has an effect.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical
+scrollbar. Notice that this style cannot be used with native controls
+which don't support scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal
+scrollbar. The same limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALWAYS\_SHOW\_SB}}{If a window has scrollbars,
disable them instead of hiding them when they are not needed (i.e. when the
size of the window is big enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it).

+
+This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to

+\helpref{wxStaticText}{wxstatictext}) and so doesn't need focus.

+This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to

+clicks it with the mouse, it shouldn't be included in the TAB traversal chain
+when using the keyboard.

\membersection{wxWindow::AddChild}\label{wxwindowaddchild}

-anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if the
+anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if
sizers are used for the subwindows layout. Also, if the window has exactly one
subwindow it is better (faster and the result is more precise as Fit adds some
margin to account for fuzziness of its calculations) to call
\constfunc{wxSize}{GetAdjustedBestSize}{\void}
-This method is similar to \helpref{GetBestSize}{wxwindowgetbestsize}, except
-in one thing. GetBestSize should return the minimum untruncated size of the
-window, while this method will return the largest of BestSize and any user
-specified minimum size. ie. it is the minimum size the window should currently
-be drawn at, not the minimal size it can possibly tolerate.
+This method is deprecated, use \helpref{GetEffectiveMinSize}{wxwindowgeteffectiveminsize}
+instead.
\membersection{wxWindow::GetBackgroundColour}\label{wxwindowgetbackgroundcolour}
\constfunc{wxSize}{GetClientSize}{\void}
-This gets the size of the window `client area' in pixels.

-excluding title bar, border, scrollbars, etc.
+Returns the size of the window `client area' in pixels. The client area is the
+area which may be drawn on by the programmer, excluding title bar, border,
+scrollbars, etc.
+
+Note that if this window is a top-level one and it is currently minimized, the
+return size is empty (both width and height are $0$).

+Returns the size of the entire window in pixels, including title bar, border,
+scrollbars, etc.
+
+Note that if this window is a top-level one and it is currently minimized, the
+returned size is the restored window size, not the size of the window icon.

+\constfunc{wxSize}{GetTextExtent}{\param{const wxString\& }{string}}
+
Gets the dimensions of the string as it would be drawn on the
window with the currently selected font.

+and y components of the result respectively.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::GetWindowStyleFlag}\label{wxwindowgetwindowstyleflag}
\constfunc{long}{GetWindowStyleFlag}{\void}
\helpref{wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent}{wxmousecapturechangedevent}
+\membersection{wxWindow::HasExtraStyle}\label{wxwindowhasextrastyle}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{HasExtraStyle}{\param{int }{exFlag}}
+

\membersection{wxWindow::HasFlag}\label{wxwindowhasflag}
\constfunc{bool}{HasFlag}{\param{int }{flag}}
\constfunc{virtual bool}{IsEnabled}{\void}
-Returns {\tt true} if the window is enabled for input, {\tt false} otherwise.
+Returns \true if the window is enabled, i.e. if it accepts user input, \false
+otherwise.
+
+Notice that this method can return \false even if this window itself hadn't
+been explicitly disabled when one of its parent windows is disabled. To get the
+intrinsic status of this window, use
+\helpref{IsThisEnabled}{wxwindowisthisenabled}
\wxheading{See also}
\helpref{wxWindow::IsShown}{wxwindowisshown}
+\membersection{wxWindow::IsThisEnabled}\label{wxwindowisthisenabled}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsThisEnabled}{\void}
+
+Returns \true if this window is intrinsically enabled, \false otherwise, i.e.
+if \helpref{Enable(false)}{wxwindowenable} had been called. This method is
+mostly used for wxWidgets itself, user code should normally use
+\helpref{IsEnabled}{wxwindowisenabled} instead.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::IsTopLevel}\label{wxwindowistoplevel}
\constfunc{bool}{IsTopLevel}{\void}
\func{bool}{Navigate}{\param{int}{ flags = wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward}}
-Does keyboard navigation from this window to another, by sending
-a wxNavigationKeyEvent.

+equivalent to calling \helpref{NavigateIn()}{wxwindownavigatein} method on the
+parent window.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{flags}{A combination of wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward and wxNavigationKeyEvent::WinChange.}
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns \true if the focus was moved to another window or \false if nothing
+changed.
+
\wxheading{Remarks}
You may wish to call this from a text control custom keypress handler to do the default
navigation behaviour for the tab key, since the standard default behaviour for
a multiline text control with the wxTE\_PROCESS\_TAB style is to insert a tab
-and not navigate to the next control.
+and not navigate to the next control. See also \helpref{wxNavigationKeyEvent}{wxnavigationkeyevent}.

+\membersection{wxWindow::NextControlId}\label{wxwindownextcontrolid}
+
+\func{static int}{NextControlId}{\param{int }{winid}}
+
+If two controls are created consecutively using \texttt{wxID\_ANY} id, this
+function allows to retrieve the effective id of the latter control from the id
+of the former. This is useful for example to find the control following its
+\helpref{wxStaticText}{wxstatictext} label if only the id of or pointer to the
+label is available to the caller but it is known that the two controls were
+created together.

\membersection{wxWindow::SetFont}\label{wxwindowsetfont}
-\func{void}{SetFont}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}
