+Note that In a paint event handler, the application must {\it always} create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object,
+even if you do not use it. Otherwise, under MS Windows, refreshing for this and other windows will go wrong.

+When a window is resized, usually only a small part of the window is damaged and you

-\docparam{show}{If TRUE, displays the window and brings it to the front. Otherwise,
-hides the window.}
+\docparam{show}{If TRUE displays the window. Otherwise, hides it.}

Transfers values from child controls to data areas specified by their validators. Returns
FALSE if a transfer failed.
+If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,

\helpref{wxWindow::TransferDataToWindow}{wxwindowtransferdatatowindow},\rtfsp
Transfers values to child controls from data areas specified by their validators.
+If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,

\wxheading{Return value}
Returns FALSE if a transfer failed.
Validates the current values of the child controls using their validators.
+If the window has {\tt wxWS\_EX\_VALIDATE\_RECURSIVELY} extra style flag set,
