+\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.
+window, it will be deleted if the deleteOld parameter is TRUE.
\wxheading{Parameters}
-\docparam{sizer}{The sizer to set. Pass NULL to disassociate and delete the window's
-sizer.}
+\docparam{sizer}{The sizer to set. Pass NULL to disassociate and conditionally delete
+the window's sizer. See below.}
+
+\docparam{deleteOld}{If TRUE (the default), this will delete any prexisting sizer.
+Pass FALSE if you wish to handle deleting the old sizer yourself.}
\wxheading{Remarks}
+SetSizer now enables and disables Layout automatically, but prior to wxWindows 2.3.3
+the following applied:
+
You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use
the sizer automatically in OnSize; otherwise, you must override OnSize and call Layout()
explicitly. When setting both a wxSizer and a \helpref{wxLayoutConstraints}{wxlayoutconstraints},
only the sizer will have effect.
+\membersection{wxWindow::SetSizerAndFit}\label{wxwindowsetsizerandfit}
+
+\func{void}{SetSizerAndFit}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}, \param{bool }{deleteOld=TRUE}}

+The same as \helpref{SetSizer}{wxwindowsetsizer}, except it also sets the size hints
+for the window based on the sizer's minimum size.

\helpref{wxWindow::GetTitle}{wxwindowgettitle}
+\membersection{wxWindow::SetThemeEnabled}\label{wxwindowsetthemeenabled}
+
+\func{virtual void}{SetThemeEnabled}{\param{bool }{enable}}
+
+This function tells a window if it should use the system's "theme" code
+to draw the windows' background instead if its own background drawing
+code. This does not always have any effect since the underlying platform
+obviously needs to support the notion of themes in user defined windows.
+One such platform is GTK+ where windows can have (very colourful) backgrounds
+defined by a user's selected theme.
+
+Dialogs, notebook pages and the status bar have this flag set to TRUE
+by default so that the default look and feel is simulated best.

+
+\func{virtual void}{SetVirtualSizeHints}{\param{int}{ minW},\param{int}{ minH}, \param{int}{ maxW=-1}, \param{int}{ maxH=-1}}
+
+Allows specification of minimum and maximum virtual window sizes.
+If a pair of values is not set (or set to -1), the default values
+will be used.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{minW}{Specifies the minimum width allowable.}

+\docparam{minH}{Specifies the minimum height allowable.}
+
+\docparam{maxW}{Specifies the maximum width allowable.}

+of the window outside the given bounds.
