\section{\class{wxWindow}}\label{wxwindow}
-wxWindow is the base class for all windows. Any children of the window will be deleted
-automatically by the destructor before the window itself is deleted.
-
-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.
+wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible objecto n
+screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
+device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
+
+Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
+the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
+have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the \helpref{window
+deletion overview}{windowdeletionoverview} for more information.
+
+Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
+\texttt{GetXXX()} methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
+\helpref{GetSize}{wxwindowgetsize} or
+\helpref{GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize}). In this case, the overloads
+are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
+results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
+English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
+variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
+class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual \texttt{DoGetXXX()} method
+and all \texttt{GetXXX()} ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
+changes the behaviour of the latter.

+standard control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
+colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the users
+system, especially if it uses themes.
+
+The \arg{variant} parameter is only relevant under Mac currently and is
+ignore under other platforms. Under Mac, it will change the size of the
+returned font. See \helpref{wxWindow::SetWindowVariant}{wxwindowsetwindowvariant}
+for more about this.
+
+This static method is ``overridden'' in many derived classes and so calling,
+for example, \helpref{wxButton}{wxbutton}::GetClassDefaultAttributes() will typically
+return the values appropriate for a button which will be normally different
+from those returned by, say, \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl}::GetClassDefaultAttributes().
+
+The \texttt{wxVisualAttributes} structure has at least the fields
+\texttt{font}, \texttt{colFg} and \texttt{colBg}. All of them may be invalid
+if it was not possible to determine the default control appearance or,
+especially for the background colour, if the field doesn't make sense as is
+the case for \texttt{colBg} for the controls with themed background.

+\func{void}{InheritAttributes}{\void}
+
+This function is (or should be, in case of custom controls) called during
+window creation to intelligently set up the window visual attributes, that is
+the font and the foreground and background colours.
+
+By ``intelligently'' the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
+own \helpref{default}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes} attributes. However
+if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
+\helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont} and not
+\helpref{SetDefaultFont}{wxwindowsetdefaultfont}) changed \emph{and} if the
+corresponding attribute hadn't been explicitly set for this window itself,
+then this window takes the same value as used by the parent. In addition, if
+the window overrides \helpref{ShouldInheritColours}{wxwindowshouldinheritcolours}
+to return \false, the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the
+font might.
+
+This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accomodate the
+different usage scenarius. The most common one is when all default attributes
+are used and in this case, nothing should be inherited as in modern GUIs
+different controls use different fonts (and colours) than their siblings so
+they can't inherit the same value from the parent. However it was also deemed
+desirable to allow to simply change the attributes of all children at once by
+just changing the font or colour of their common parent, hence in this case we
+do inherit the parents attributes.

-using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}. If this is TRUE,
-destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
-If not, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window.
-
-(Note: GetForce is now superceded by CanVeto. So to test whether forced destruction of
-the window is required, test for the negative of CanVeto. If CanVeto returns FALSE,
-it is not possible to skip window deletion.)
-
-If you don't destroy the window, you should call \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto} to
-let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function
-to return TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not.
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-The \helpref{wxWindow::OnClose}{wxwindowonclose} virtual function remains
-for backward compatibility with earlier versions of wxWindows. The
-default {\bf OnCloseWindow} handler for wxFrame and wxDialog will call {\bf OnClose},
-destroying the window if it returns TRUE or if the close is being forced.

-\docparam{event}{Paint event. For more information, see \helpref{wxPaintEvent}{wxpaintevent}.}
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-Use the EVT\_PAINT macro in an event table definition to intercept paint events.
-
-In a paint event handler, the application should always create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object.
-
-For example:

-\small{%
-\begin{verbatim}
- void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent\& event)
- {
- wxPaintDC dc(this);
-
- DrawMyDocument(dc);
- }
-\end{verbatim}
-}%
-
-You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles
-that have been damaged and only repainting these. The rectangles are in
-terms of the client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do
-some calculations using the current view position to obtain logical,
-scrolled units.
-
-Here is an example of using the \helpref{wxRegionIterator}{wxregioniterator} class:
-
-{\small%
-\begin{verbatim}
-// Called when window needs to be repainted.
-void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent\& event)
-{
- wxPaintDC dc(this);
-
- // Find Out where the window is scrolled to
- int vbX,vbY; // Top left corner of client
- GetViewStart(&vbX,&vbY);
-
- int vX,vY,vW,vH; // Dimensions of client area in pixels
- wxRegionIterator upd(GetUpdateRegion()); // get the update rect list
-
- while (upd)
- {
- vX = upd.GetX();
- vY = upd.GetY();
- vW = upd.GetW();
- vH = upd.GetH();
-
- // Alternatively we can do this:
- // wxRect rect;
- // upd.GetRect(&rect);
-
- // Repaint this rectangle
- ...some code...
-
- upd ++ ;
- }

+\membersection{wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI}\label{wxwindowupdatewindowui}
+
+\func{virtual void}{UpdateWindowUI}{\param{long}{ flags = wxUPDATE\_UI\_NONE}}
+
+This function sends \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvents}{wxupdateuievent} to
+the window. The particular implementation depends on the window; for
+example a wxToolBar will send an update UI event for each toolbar button,
+and a wxFrame will send an update UI event for each menubar menu item.
+You can call this function from your application to ensure that your
+UI is up-to-date at this point (as far as your wxUpdateUIEvent handlers
+are concerned). This may be necessary if you have called
+\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode}{wxupdateuieventsetmode} or
+\helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::SetUpdateInterval}{wxupdateuieventsetupdateinterval} to
+limit the overhead that wxWidgets incurs by sending update UI events in idle time.
+
+{\it flags} should be a bitlist of one or more of the following values.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+enum wxUpdateUI
+{
+ wxUPDATE_UI_NONE = 0x0000, // No particular value
+ wxUPDATE_UI_RECURSE = 0x0001, // Call the function for descendants
+ wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE = 0x0002 // Invoked from On(Internal)Idle
+};
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If you are calling this function from an OnInternalIdle or OnIdle
+function, make sure you pass the wxUPDATE\_UI\_FROMIDLE flag, since
+this tells the window to only update the UI elements that need
+to be updated in idle time. Some windows update their elements
+only when necessary, for example when a menu is about to be shown.
+The following is an example of how to call UpdateWindowUI from
+an idle function.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+void MyWindow::OnInternalIdle()
