+            - @c wxSIZE_AUTO_HEIGHT: a wxDefaultCoord height value is taken to indicate
+                                     a wxWidgets-supplied default height.
+            - @c wxSIZE_AUTO: wxDefaultCoord size values are taken to indicate
+                              a wxWidgets-supplied default size.
+            - @c wxSIZE_USE_EXISTING: existing dimensions should be used
+                                      if wxDefaultCoord values are supplied.
+            - @c wxSIZE_ALLOW_MINUS_ONE: allow negative dimensions (i.e. value of

+                                         dimensions, not default values.
+            - @c wxSIZE_FORCE: normally, if the position and the size of the window are
+                               already the same as the parameters of this function,

-
-        By "intelligently" the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
-        own @ref GetClassDefaultAttributes() default attributes.
-        However if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
-        SetFont() and not wxWindow::SetOwnFont) changed 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.

-        the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the font might.
+        Redraws the contents of the given rectangle: only the area inside it will be

-        This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
-        different usage scenarios. 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.
+        This is the same as Refresh() but has a nicer syntax as it can be called

-        @remarks
-            Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font.
-            The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time.
-            You would use:
-            @code
-            SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50);
-            @endcode
-            Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never
-            go above 50 minus 16, or 34. You can determine how many lines are
-            currently visible by dividing the current view size by the character
-            height in pixels.
-            When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need
-            to recalculate the scrollbar settings when the window size changes.
-            You could therefore put your scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar
-            call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called
-            initially and also from your wxSizeEvent handler function.

+        By "intelligently" the following is meant: by default, all windows use their
+        own @ref GetClassDefaultAttributes() default attributes.
+        However if some of the parents attributes are explicitly (that is, using
+        SetFont() and not wxWindow::SetOwnFont) changed 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 ShouldInheritColours() to return @false,
+        the colours will not be changed no matter what and only the font might.

 
 

-        @see HideWithEffect()
+        This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the
+        different usage scenarios. 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.
