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