+Starting from version 2.4 of wxWindows, 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 wxWindows
+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 wxWindows 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}).
within OnDraw, to set the device origin for the device context according to the current
scroll position.
+A wxScrolledWindow will normally scroll itself and therefore its child windows as well. It
+might however be desired to scroll a different window than itself: e.g. when designing a
+spreadsheet, you will normally only have to scroll the (usually white) cell area, whereas the
+(usually grey) label area will scroll very differently. For this special purpose, you can
+call \helpref{SetTargetWindow}{wxscrolledwindowsettargetwindow} which means that pressing
+the scrollbars will scroll a different window.
+
+Note that the underlying system knows nothing about scrolling coordinates, so that all system
+functions (mouse events, expose events, refresh calls etc) as well as the position of subwindows
+are relative to the "physical" origin of the scrolled window. If the user insert a child window at
+position (10,10) and scrolls the window down 100 pixels (moving the child window out of the visible
+area), the child window will report a position of (10,-90).
