the coordinates according to the scrollbar positions, and setting the
scroll positions, thumb sizes and ranges according to the area in view.
-As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolledWindow using a \helpref{device context}{dcoverview}.
+Starting from version 2.4 of wxWidgets, there are several ways to use a
+wxScrolledWindow. In particular, there are now three ways to set the
+size of the scrolling area:
+
+One way is to set the scrollbars directly using a call to
+\helpref{wxScrolledWindow::SetScrollbars}{wxscrolledwindowsetscrollbars}.
+This is the way it used to be in any previous version of wxWidgets
+and it will be kept for backwards compatibility.
+
+An additional method of manual control, which requires a little less
+computation of your own, is to set the total size of the scrolling area by
+calling either \helpref{wxWindow::SetVirtualSize}{wxwindowsetvirtualsize},
+or \helpref{wxWindow::FitInside}{wxwindowfitinside}, and setting the
+scrolling increments for it by calling
+\helpref{wxScrolledWindow::SetScrollRate}{wxscrolledwindowsetscrollrate}.
+Scrolling in some orientation is enabled by setting a non zero increment
+for it.
+
+The most automatic and newest way is to simply let sizers determine the
+scrolling area. This is now the default when you set an interior sizer
+into a wxScrolledWindow with \helpref{wxWindow::SetSizer}{wxwindowsetsizer}.
+The scrolling area will be set to the size requested by the sizer and
+the scrollbars will be assigned for each orientation according to the need
+for them and the scrolling increment set by
+\helpref{wxScrolledWindow::SetScrollRate}{wxscrolledwindowsetscrollrate}.
+As above, scrolling is only enabled in orientations with a non-zero
+increment. You can influence the minimum size of the scrolled area
+controlled by a sizer by calling
+\helpref{wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints}{wxwindowsetvirtualsizehints}.
+(calling \helpref{wxScrolledWindow::SetScrollbars}{wxscrolledwindowsetscrollbars}
+ has analogous effects in wxWidgets 2.4 -- in later versions it may not continue
+ to override the sizer)
+
+Note: if Maximum size hints are still supported by SetVirtualSizeHints, use
+them at your own dire risk. They may or may not have been removed for 2.4,
+but it really only makes sense to set minimum size hints here. We should
+probably replace SetVirtualSizeHints with SetMinVirtualSize or similar
+and remove it entirely in future.
+
+As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolledWindow using
+a \helpref{device context}{dcoverview}.
You have the option of handling the OnPaint handler
-or overriding the \helpref{OnDraw}{wxscrolledwindowondraw} function, which is passed
-a pre-scrolled device context (prepared by \helpref{PrepareDC}{wxscrolledwindowpreparedc}).
