+\func{static wxVisualAttributes}{GetClassDefaultAttributes}{\param{wxWindowVariant}{ variant = \texttt{wxWINDOW\_VARIANT\_NORMAL}}}
+
+Returns the default font and colours which are used by the control. This is
+useful if you want to use the same font or colour in your own control as in a
+standard control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
+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

+\constfunc{virtual wxVisualAttributes}{GetDefaultAttributes}{\void}
+
+Currently this is the same as calling
+\helpref{GetClassDefaultAttributes}{wxwindowgetclassdefaultattributes}(\helpref{GetWindowVariant}{wxwindowgetwindowvariant}()).
+
+One advantage of using this function compared to the static version is that
+the call is automatically dispatched to the correct class (as usual with
+virtual functions) and you don't have to specify the class name explicitly.
+
+The other one is that in the future this function could return different
+results, for example it might return a different font for an ``Ok'' button
+than for a generic button if the users GUI is configured to show such buttons
+in bold font. Of course, the down side is that it is impossible to call this
+function without actually having an object to apply it to whereas the static

+
+\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 accomodate the
+different usage scenarius. 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.
