-a wxWidgets-supplied default width.\\

+{\bf wxSIZE\_AUTO\_WIDTH}: a $wxDefaultCoord$ width value is taken to indicate
a wxWidgets-supplied default width.\\

+{\bf wxSIZE\_AUTO\_HEIGHT}: a $wxDefaultCoord$ height value is taken to indicate
+a wxWidgets-supplied default height.\\

a wxWidgets-supplied default size.\\
{\bf wxSIZE\_USE\_EXISTING}: existing dimensions should be used
-if -1 values are supplied.\\
-{\bf wxSIZE\_ALLOW\_MINUS\_ONE}: allow dimensions of -1 and less to be interpreted
+if $wxDefaultCoord$ values are supplied.\\
+{\bf wxSIZE\_ALLOW\_MINUS\_ONE}: allow negative dimensions (ie. value of $wxDefaultCoord$) to be interpreted
as real dimensions, not default values.
+{\bf wxSIZE\_FORCE}: normally, if the position and the size of the window are
+already the same as the parameters of this function, nothing is done. but with
+this flag a window resize may be forced even in this case (supported in wx
+2.6.2 and later and only implemented for MSW and ignored elsewhere currently)

x and y parameters, and must be used with non-default width and height values.
The first form sets the position and optionally size, of the window.
-Parameters may be -1 to indicate either that a default should be supplied
+Parameters may be $wxDefaultCoord$ to indicate either that a default should be supplied
by wxWidgets, or that the current value of the dimension should be used.
