+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.

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

\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_3D}}{Prevents the children of this window taking on 3D styles, even though
the application-wide policy is for 3D controls. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxWANTS\_CHARS}}{Use this to indicate that the window
+wants to get all char events - even for keys like TAB or ENTER which are
+usually used for dialog navigation and which wouldn't be generated without
+this style}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULLREPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{Disables repainting
+the window completely when its size is changed - you will have to repaint the
+new window area manually if you use style. Currently only has effect for
+Windows.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar. (Still used?) }
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. (Still used?) }
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCLIP\_CHILDREN}}{Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being

-\constfunc{bool}{IsExposed}{\param{wxRectangle }{&rect}}
+\constfunc{bool}{IsExposed}{\param{wxRect }{&rect}}
Returns TRUE if the given point or rectange area has been exposed since the
last repaint. Call this in an paint event handler to optimize redrawing by
-only redrawing those area, which have been exposed.
