- Enable or disable physical scrolling in the given direction. Physical
- scrolling is the physical transfer of bits up or down the
- screen when a scroll event occurs. If the application scrolls by a
- variable amount (e.g. if there are different font sizes) then physical
- scrolling will not work, and you should switch it off. Note that you
- will have to reposition child windows yourself, if physical scrolling
- is disabled.
+ Enable or disable use of wxWindow::ScrollWindow() for scrolling.
+
+ By default, when a scrolled window is logically scrolled,
+ wxWindow::ScrollWindow() is called on the underlying window which
+ scrolls the window contents and only invalidates the part of the window
+ newly brought into view. If @false is passed as an argument, then this
+ "physical scrolling" is disabled and the window is entirely invalidated
+ whenever it is scrolled by calling wxWindow::Refresh().
+
+ It should be rarely necessary to disable physical scrolling, so this
+ method shouldn't be called in normal circumstances.
