\wxheading{Window styles}
The following styles can apply to all windows, although they will not always make sense for a particular
\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxBORDER is the old name
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_DEFAULT}}{The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SIMPLE}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE\_BORDER is the old name
for this style. }
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxDOUBLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a double border. Windows and Mac only.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSUNKEN\_BORDER}}{Displays a sunken border.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxRAISED\_BORDER}}{Displays a raised border.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSTATIC\_BORDER}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. Windows only. }
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_BORDER}}{Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the window.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_SUNKEN}}{Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_RAISED}}{Displays a raised border. wxRAISED\_BORDER is the old name for this style. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_STATIC}}{Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC\_BORDER is the old name for this style. Windows only. }
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_THEME}}{Displays a native border suitable for a control, on the current platform. On Windows XP or Vista, this will be a themed border; on most other platforms
+a sunken border will be used. For more information for themed borders on Windows, please see \helpref{Themed borders on Windows}{wxmswthemedborders}.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_NONE}}{Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the window. wxNO\_BORDER is the old name for this style.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxBORDER\_DOUBLE}}{This style is obsolete and should not be used.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTRANSPARENT\_WINDOW}}{The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
events. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTAB\_TRAVERSAL}}{Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.}
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

+\helpref{Navigate}{wxwindownavigate} in response to the key events for
+Tab and Shift-Tab.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_FULL\_REPAINT\_ON\_RESIZE}}{On Windows, this style used to disable repainting
the window completely when its size is changed. Since this behaviour is now the default, the style is now obsolete
and no longer has an effect.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical scrollbar.}
-\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxVSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a vertical
+scrollbar. Notice that this style cannot be used with native controls
+which don't support scrollbars nor with top-level windows in most ports.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHSCROLL}}{Use this style to enable a horizontal
+scrollbar. The same limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxALWAYS\_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).

+\membersection{wxWindow::AcceptsFocus}\label{wxwindowacceptsfocus}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{AcceptsFocus}{\void}
+
+This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to
+indicate that this control doesn't accept input at all (i.e. behaves like e.g.
+\helpref{wxStaticText}{wxstatictext}) and so doesn't need focus.
+

+\helpref{AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}{wxwindowacceptsfocusfromkeyboard}
+
+
+\membersection{wxWindow::AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}\label{wxwindowacceptsfocusfromkeyboard}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard}{\void}
+
+This method may be overridden in the derived classes to return \false to
+indicate that while this control can, in principle, have focus if the user
+clicks it with the mouse, it shouldn't be included in the TAB traversal chain
+when using the keyboard.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::AddChild}\label{wxwindowaddchild}
\func{virtual void}{AddChild}{\param{wxWindow* }{child}}
\func{virtual void}{Fit}{\void}
Sizes the window so that it fits around its subwindows. This function won't do
-anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if the
+anything if there are no subwindows and will only really work correctly if
sizers are used for the subwindows layout. Also, if the window has exactly one
subwindow it is better (faster and the result is more precise as Fit adds some
margin to account for fuzziness of its calculations) to call
\constfunc{wxSize}{GetClientSize}{\void}
-This gets the size of the window `client area' in pixels.
-The client area is the area which may be drawn on by the programmer,
-excluding title bar, border, scrollbars, etc.
+Returns the size of the window `client area' in pixels. The client area is the
+area which may be drawn on by the programmer, excluding title bar, border,
+scrollbars, etc.
+
+Note that if this window is a top-level one and it is currently minimized, the
+return size is empty (both width and height are $0$).
\wxheading{Parameters}
Returns the parent of the window, or NULL if there is no parent.
+\membersection{wxWindow::GetPopupMenuSelectionFromUser}\label{wxwindowgetpopupmenuselectionfromuser}
+
+\func{int}{GetPopupMenuSelectionFromUser}{\param{wxMenu\&}{ menu}, \param{const wxPoint\&}{ pos}}
+
+\func{int}{GetPopupMenuSelectionFromUser}{\param{wxMenu\&}{ menu}, \param{int}{ x}, \param{int}{ y}}
+
+This function shows a popup menu at the given position in this window and
+returns the selected id. It can be more convenient than the general purpose
+\helpref{PopupMenu}{wxwindowpopupmenu} function for simple menus proposing a
+choice in a list of strings to the user.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{menu}{The menu to show}
+
+\docparam{pos}{The position at which to show the menu in client coordinates}
+
+\docparam{x}{The horizontal position of the menu}
+
+\docparam{y}{The vertical position of the menu}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The selected menu item id or \texttt{wxID\_NONE} if none selected or an error
+occurred.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::GetPosition}\label{wxwindowgetposition}
\constfunc{virtual void}{GetPosition}{\param{int* }{x}, \param{int* }{y}}

\constfunc{wxSize}{GetSize}{\void}
-This gets the size of the entire window in pixels,
-including title bar, border, scrollbars, etc.
+Returns the size of the entire window in pixels, including title bar, border,
+scrollbars, etc.
+
+Note that if this window is a top-level one and it is currently minimized, the
+returned size is the restored window size, not the size of the window icon.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\membersection{wxWindow::GetTextExtent}\label{wxwindowgettextextent}
-\constfunc{virtual void}{GetTextExtent}{\param{const wxString\& }{string}, \param{int* }{x}, \param{int* }{y},

\param{const wxFont* }{font = NULL}, \param{bool}{ use16 = {\tt false}}}
+\constfunc{wxSize}{GetTextExtent}{\param{const wxString\& }{string}}
+
Gets the dimensions of the string as it would be drawn on the
window with the currently selected font.
+The text extent is returned in \arg{w} and \arg{h} pointers (first form) or as a
+\helpref{wxSize}{wxsize} object (second form).
+
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{string}{String whose extent is to be measured.}
-\docparam{x}{Return value for width.}
+\docparam{w}{Return value for width.}
-\docparam{y}{Return value for height.}
+\docparam{h}{Return value for height.}
\docparam{descent}{Return value for descent (optional).}
\helpref{wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent}{wxmousecapturechangedevent}
+\membersection{wxWindow::HasExtraStyle}\label{wxwindowhasextrastyle}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{HasExtraStyle}{\param{int }{exFlag}}
+
+Returns \texttt{true} if the window has the given \arg{exFlag} bit set in its
+extra styles.

\membersection{wxWindow::HasFlag}\label{wxwindowhasflag}
\constfunc{bool}{HasFlag}{\param{int }{flag}}
\constfunc{virtual bool}{IsEnabled}{\void}
-Returns {\tt true} if the window is enabled for input, {\tt false} otherwise.
+Returns \true if the window is enabled, i.e. if it accepts user input, \false
+otherwise.
+
+Notice that this method can return \false even if this window itself hadn't
+been explicitly disabled when one of its parent windows is disabled. To get the
+intrinsic status of this window, use
+\helpref{IsThisEnabled}{wxwindowisthisenabled}
\wxheading{See also}
\helpref{wxWindow::IsShown}{wxwindowisshown}
+\membersection{wxWindow::IsThisEnabled}\label{wxwindowisthisenabled}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsThisEnabled}{\void}
+
+Returns \true if this window is intrinsically enabled, \false otherwise, i.e.
+if \helpref{Enable(false)}{wxwindowenable} had been called. This method is
+mostly used for wxWidgets itself, user code should normally use
+\helpref{IsEnabled}{wxwindowisenabled} instead.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::IsTopLevel}\label{wxwindowistoplevel}
\constfunc{bool}{IsTopLevel}{\void}
\func{bool}{Navigate}{\param{int}{ flags = wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward}}
-Does keyboard navigation from this window to another, by sending
-a wxNavigationKeyEvent.
+Performs a keyboard navigation action starting from this window. This method is
+equivalent to calling \helpref{NavigateIn()}{wxwindownavigatein} method on the
+parent window.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{flags}{A combination of wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward and wxNavigationKeyEvent::WinChange.}
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+Returns \true if the focus was moved to another window or \false if nothing
+changed.
+
\wxheading{Remarks}
You may wish to call this from a text control custom keypress handler to do the default
navigation behaviour for the tab key, since the standard default behaviour for
a multiline text control with the wxTE\_PROCESS\_TAB style is to insert a tab
-and not navigate to the next control.
+and not navigate to the next control. See also \helpref{wxNavigationKeyEvent}{wxnavigationkeyevent}.
+
+
+\membersection{wxWindow::NavigateIn}\label{wxwindownavigatein}
+
+\func{bool}{NavigateIn}{\param{int}{ flags = wxNavigationKeyEvent::IsForward}}
+
+Performs a keyboard navigation action inside this window.

+
+
+\membersection{wxWindow::NextControlId}\label{wxwindownextcontrolid}
+
+\func{static int}{NextControlId}{\param{int }{winid}}
+
+If two controls are created consecutively using \texttt{wxID\_ANY} id, this
+function allows to retrieve the effective id of the latter control from the id
+of the former. This is useful for example to find the control following its
+\helpref{wxStaticText}{wxstatictext} label if only the id of or pointer to the
+label is available to the caller but it is known that the two controls were
+created together.

+\membersection{wxWindow::PrevControlId}\label{wxwindowprevcontrolid}
+
+\func{static int}{PrevControlId}{\param{int }{winid}}
+
+This is similar to \helpref{NextControlId}{wxwindownextcontrolid} but returns
+the id of the control created just before the one with the given \arg{winid}.
+
+
\membersection{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}\label{wxwindowpusheventhandler}
\func{void}{PushEventHandler}{\param{wxEvtHandler* }{handler}}
\helpref{wxWindow::GetBackgroundStyle}{wxwindowgetbackgroundstyle}
-\membersection{wxWindow::SetInitialSize}\label{wxwindowsetinitialsize}
-
-\func{void}{SetInitialSize}{\param{const wxSize\& }{size = wxDefaultSize}}
-A {\it smart} SetSize that will fill in default size components with the
-window's {\it best} size values. Also sets the window's minsize to
-the value passed in for use with sizers. This means that if a full or
-partial size is passed to this function then the sizers will use that
-size instead of the results of GetBestSize to determine the minimum
-needs of the window for layout.
+\membersection{wxWindow::SetCanFocus}\label{wxwindowsetcanfocus}
-Most controls will use this to set their initial size, and their min
-size to the passed in value (if any.)
+\func{virtual void}{SetCanFocus}{\param{bool}{ canFocus}}
+This method is only implemented by ports which have support for
+native TAB traversal (such as GTK+ 2.0). It is called by wxWidgets'
+container control code to give the native system a hint when
+doing TAB traversal. A call to this does not disable or change
+the effect of programmatically calling
+\helpref{wxWindow::SetFocus}{wxwindowsetfocus}.

\membersection{wxWindow::SetEventHandler}\label{wxwindowseteventhandler}
\func{void}{SetEventHandler}{\param{wxEvtHandler* }{handler}}
central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different
window classes.
-It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} since
-this sets up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is
-handed to the next one in the chain.
