+%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

+handler usually tries to close the window. It doesn't close the window itself,

+Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing

+Usually it is only used with the top level windows (wxFrame and wxDialog
+classes) as the others are not supposed to have any special OnClose() logic.
The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly,

-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

-\func{void}{OnCharHook}{\param{wxKeyEvent\&}{ event}}
+\func{void}{PushEventHandler}{\param{wxEvtHandler* }{handler}}
-This member is called to allow the window to intercept keyboard events
-before they are processed by child windows.
+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 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.
-
-Note that the ASCII values do not have explicit key codes: they are passed as ASCII
-values.
+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.
-This function is only relevant to top-level windows (frames and dialogs), and under
-Windows only. Under GTK the normal EVT\_CHAR\_ event has the functionality, i.e.
-you can intercepts it and if you don't call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip}
-the window won't get the event.
+\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.

-This is an event handler function called when the user has tried to close a a frame

-that the application can also invoke the handler programmatically.

-Use the EVT\_CLOSE event table macro to handle close events.
+\wxheading{Parameters}

-using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}. If this is TRUE,
-destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.

-If you don't destroy the window, you should call \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto} to

-to return TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
+\func{bool}{RemoveEventHandler}{\param{wxEvtHandler *}{handler}}
-\wxheading{Remarks}
+Find the given {\it handler} in the windows event handler chain and remove (but

-\func{virtual bool}{Show}{\param{const bool}{ show}}
+\func{virtual bool}{Show}{\param{bool}{ show = {\tt true}}}
-Shows or hides the window.
+Shows or hides the window. You may need to call \helpref{Raise}{wxwindowraise}
+for a top level window if you want to bring it to top, although this is not
+needed if Show() is called immediately after the frame creation.
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{show}{If TRUE, displays the window and brings it to the front. Otherwise,
-hides the window.}
+\docparam{show}{If {\tt true} displays the window. Otherwise, hides it.}
+

+
+{\tt true} if the window has been shown or hidden or {\tt false} if nothing was
+done because it already was in the requested state.

\membersection{wxWindow::TransferDataFromWindow}\label{wxwindowtransferdatafromwindow}

Transfers values from child controls to data areas specified by their validators. Returns
-FALSE if a transfer failed.
+{\tt false} if a transfer failed.
+
+If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,
+the method will also call TransferDataFromWindow() of all child windows.

+
+\func{virtual void}{Update}{\void}
+
+Calling this method immediately repaints the invalidated area of the window
+while this would usually only happen when the flow of control returns to the
+event loop. Notice that this function doesn't refresh the window and does
+nothing if the window hadn't been already repainted. Use
+\helpref{Refresh}{wxwindowrefresh} first if you want to immediately redraw the
+window unconditionally.
+
\membersection{wxWindow::Validate}\label{wxwindowvalidate}
\func{virtual bool}{Validate}{\void}
Validates the current values of the child controls using their validators.
+If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,
+the method will also call Validate() of all child windows.
+
\wxheading{Return value}
-Returns FALSE if any of the validations failed.
+Returns {\tt false} if any of the validations failed.
