+Please note that we documented a number of handler functions (OnChar(), OnMouse() etc.) in this
+help text. These must not be called by a user program and are documented only for illustration.
+On several platforms, only a few of these handlers are actually written (they are not always
+needed) and if you are uncertain on how to add a certain behaviour to a window class, intercept
+the respective event as usual and call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} so that the native

+You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use
+the sizer automatically in OnSize; otherwise, you must override OnSize and call Layout()
+explicitly. When setting both a wxSizer and a \helpref{wxLayoutConstraints}{wxlayoutconstraints},
