-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.
+\section{\class{wxWindow}}\label{wxwindow}
-%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 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.

+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

+\membersection{wxWindow::InheritAttributes}\label{wxwindowinheritattributes}
+
+\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{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}
+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 accommodate the
+different usage scenarios. 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.

\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);
+}
