+provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which may or may not be implemented by

+necessarily delete the dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which
+itself only hides the dialog.

-\membersection{wxWindow::SetClientSize}
-
-\func{virtual void}{SetClientSize}{\param{int}{ width}, \param{int}{ height}}
-
-This sets the size of the window client area in pixels. Using this function to size a window
-tends to be more device-independent than \helpref{wxWindow::SetSize}{wxwindowsetsize}, since the application need not
-worry about what dimensions the border or title bar have when trying to fit the window
-around panel items, for example.
-
-\wxheading{Parameters}
-
-\docparam{width}{The required client area width.}
-
-\docparam{height}{The required client area height.}

-\membersection{wxWindow::SetCursor}\label{wxwindowsetcursor}
-
-\func{virtual void}{SetCursor}{\param{const wxCursor\&}{cursor}}
-
-Sets the window's cursor.
-
-\wxheading{Parameters}
-
-\docparam{cursor}{Specifies the cursor that the window should normally display.}
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-Under Windows, you sometimes need to call ::wxSetCursor in addition to this
-function if you want the cursor to change immediately, because under Windows,
-wxWindows only sets the global cursor when it detects mouse movement.

-\membersection{wxWindow::SetEventHandler}\label{wxwindowseteventhandler}
-
-\func{void}{SetEventHandler}{\param{wxEvtHandler* }{handler}}
-
-Sets the event handler for this window.
-
-\wxheading{Parameters}
-
-\docparam{handler}{Specifies the handler to be set.}
-
-\wxheading{Remarks}
-
-An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events
-sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but
-an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow
-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.
