+Styles
+-------
+    =============================  =====================================
+    wx.SIMPLE_BORDER               Displays a thin border around the window.
+                                   
+    wx.DOUBLE_BORDER               Displays a double border. Windows and Mac only.
+                                   
+    wx.SUNKEN_BORDER               Displays a sunken border.
+                                   
+    wx.RAISED_BORDER               Displays a raised border.
+                                   
+    wx.STATIC_BORDER               Displays a border suitable for a static
+                                   control. Windows only.
+                                   
+    wx.NO_BORDER                   Displays no border, overriding the default
+                                   border style for the window.
+                                   
+    wx.TRANSPARENT_WINDOW          The window is transparent, that is, it
+                                   will not receive paint events. Windows only.
+                                   
+    wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL               Use this to enable tab traversal for
+                                   non-dialog windows.
+                                   
+    wx.WANTS_CHARS                 Use this to indicate that the window
+                                   wants to get all char/key events for
+                                   all keys - even for keys like TAB or
+                                   ENTER which are usually used for
+                                   dialog navigation and which wouldn't
+                                   be generated without this style. If
+                                   you need to use this style in order to
+                                   get the arrows or etc., but would
+                                   still like to have normal keyboard
+                                   navigation take place, you should
+                                   create and send a wxNavigationKeyEvent
+                                   in response to the key events for Tab
+                                   and Shift-Tab.
+                                   
+    wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE   Disables repainting the window
+                                   completely when its size is changed.
+                                   You will have to repaint the new
+                                   window area manually if you use this
+                                   style. As of version 2.5.1 this
+                                   style is on by default.  Use
+                                   wx.FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to
+                                   deactivate it.
+                                   
+    wx.VSCROLL                     Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar.
+                                   
+    wx.HSCROLL                     Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar.
+                                   
+    wx.ALWAYS_SHOW_SB              If a window has scrollbars, disable them
+                                   instead of hiding them when they are
+                                   not needed (i.e. when the size of the
+                                   window is big enough to not require
+                                   the scrollbars to navigate it). This
+                                   style is currently only implemented
+                                   for wxMSW and wxUniversal and does
+                                   nothing on the other platforms.
+                                   
+    wx.CLIP_CHILDREN               Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by
+                                   the background being repainted, then
+                                   children being painted over
+                                   them. Windows only.
+                                   
+    wx.FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE      Use this style to force a complete
+                                   redraw of the window whenever it is
+                                   resized instead of redrawing just the
+                                   part of the window affected by
+                                   resizing. Note that this was the
+                                   behaviour by default before 2.5.1
+                                   release and that if you experience
+                                   redraw problems with the code which
+                                   previously used to work you may want
+                                   to try this.

+Extra Styles
+------------
+    =============================   =====================================
+    wx.WS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY   By default,
+                                    Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow()
+                                    only work on direct children of
+                                    the window (compatible
+                                    behaviour). Set this flag to make
+                                    them recursively descend into all
+                                    subwindows.
+
+    wx.WS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS           wx.CommandEvents and the objects of the
+                                    derived classes are forwarded to
+                                    the parent window and so on
+                                    recursively by default. Using this
+                                    flag for the given window allows
+                                    to block this propagation at this
+                                    window, i.e. prevent the events
+                                    from being propagated further
+                                    upwards. Dialogs have this flag on
+                                    by default.
+
+    wx.WS_EX_TRANSIENT              Don't use this window as an implicit parent for
+                                    the other windows: this must be
+                                    used with transient windows as
+                                    otherwise there is the risk of
+                                    creating a dialog/frame with this
+                                    window as a parent which would
+                                    lead to a crash if the parent is
+                                    destroyed before the child.
+
+    wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE           This window should always process idle
+                                    events, even if the mode set by
+                                    `wx.IdleEvent.SetMode` is
+                                    wx.IDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
+
+    wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES     This window should always process UI
+                                    update events, even if the mode
+                                    set by `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetMode` is
+                                    wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
