\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.
+wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
+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.

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

-choose whether to destroy the window.
+Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing
+an opportunity for the window to choose whether to destroy the window.
+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,
-using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}, in which case it should
-destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
+using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}, in which case it
+should destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
+
+{\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be
+destroyed; but it 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 necessarily delete the
+dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which is handled by

-\wxheading{See also}
+By ``intelligently'' the following is meant: by default, all windows use their

+if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
+\helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont} and not
+\helpref{SetOwnFont}{wxwindowsetownfont}) 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}

+font might.
-\helpref{wxMoveEvent}{wxmoveevent},\rtfsp
-\helpref{wxFrame::OnSize}{wxframeonsize},\rtfsp
-\helpref{Event handling overview}{eventhandlingoverview}
+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.

+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{colour}{The colour to be used as the background colour, pass

+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+The background colour is usually painted by the default\rtfsp

+
+This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
+tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not

+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use

-\func{virtual void}{SetClientSize}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
+\membersection{wxWindow::SetSizer}\label{wxwindowsetsizer}
-This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
-tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not
-worry about what dimensions the border or title bar have when trying to fit the window
-around panel items, for example.
+\func{void}{SetSizer}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}, \param{bool }{deleteOld=true}}
+
+Sets the window to have the given layout sizer. The window
+will then own the object, and will take care of its deletion.
+If an existing layout constraints object is already owned by the
+window, it will be deleted if the deleteOld parameter is true.
+
+Note that this function will also call
+\helpref{SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} implicitly with {\tt true}
+parameter if the {\it sizer}\/ is non-NULL and {\tt false} otherwise.
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{width}{The required client area width.}
+\docparam{sizer}{The sizer to set. Pass NULL to disassociate and conditionally delete
+the window's sizer. See below.}
-\docparam{height}{The required client area height.}
+\docparam{deleteOld}{If true (the default), this will delete any prexisting sizer.
+Pass false if you wish to handle deleting the old sizer yourself.}

+
+This function tells a window if it should use the system's "theme" code

\wxheading{Remarks}
-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.
+If this function is called, the user will not be able to size the virtual area
+of the window outside the given bounds.
-It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} since
-this sets up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
-handed to the next one in the chain.

+\func{void}{SetWindowVariant}{\param{wxWindowVariant}{variant}}
+
+This function can be called under all platforms but only does anything under

+exist in several sizes which correpond to the elements of wxWindowVariant
+enum:
+\begin{verbatim}
+enum wxWindowVariant
+{
+ wxWINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL, // Normal size
+ wxWINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL, // Smaller size (about 25 % smaller than normal )

-Shows or hides the window.
+\membersection{wxWindow::Show}\label{wxwindowshow}
+
+\func{virtual bool}{Show}{\param{bool}{ show = {\tt true}}}
+
+Shows or hides the window. You may need to call \helpref{Raise}{wxwindowraise}

+\membersection{wxWindow::Update}\label{wxwindowupdate}
+
+\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::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()
+{
+ if (wxUpdateUIEvent::CanUpdate(this))
+ UpdateWindowUI(wxUPDATE_UI_FROMIDLE);
