+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SUNKEN}}{Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_RAISED}}{Displays a raised border. wxRAISED\_BORDER is the old name for this style. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_STATIC}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC\_BORDER is the old name for this style. Windows only. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_THEME}}{Displays a themed border where possible. Currently this has an effect on Windows XP and above only.
+For more information on themed borders, please see \helpref{Themed borders on Windows}{wxmswthemedborders}.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_NONE}}{Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the window. wxNO\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTRANSPARENT\_WINDOW}}{The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
events. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
the window wants to get all char/key events for all keys - even for
keys like TAB or ENTER which are usually used for dialog navigation
and which wouldn't be generated without this style. If you need to

+\helpref{Navigate}{wxwindownavigate} in response to the key events for

\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{On Windows, this style used to disable repainting
the window completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now the default, the style is now obsolete
and no longer has an effect.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical
+scrollbar. Notice that this style cannot be used with native controls
+which don't support scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal
+scrollbar. The same limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALWAYS\_SHOW\_SB}}{If a window has scrollbars,
disable them instead of hiding them when they are not needed (i.e. when the
size of the window is big enough to not require the scrollbars to navigate it).

margin to account for fuzziness of its calculations) to call
\constfunc{wxSize}{GetAdjustedBestSize}{\void}
-This method is similar to \helpref{GetBestSize}{wxwindowgetbestsize}, except

+otherwise.
+
+Notice that this method can return \false even if this window itself hadn't

\constfunc{bool}{IsTopLevel}{\void}
\func{bool}{Navigate}{\param{int}{ flags = wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward}}
-Does keyboard navigation from this window to another, by sending

\wxheading{Remarks}
You may wish to call this from a text control custom keypress handler to do the default
navigation behaviour for the tab key, since the standard default behaviour for
a multiline text control with the wxTE\_PROCESS\_TAB style is to insert a tab
-and not navigate to the next control.

+label is available to the caller but it is known that the two controls were
+created together.

-\func{void}{SetBestFittingSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}}
+\func{void}{SetInitialSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}}
A {\it smart} SetSize that will fill in default size components with the
window's {\it best} size values. Also sets the window's minsize to
size instead of the results of GetBestSize to determine the minimum
needs of the window for layout.

+size to the passed in value (if any.)
