To allow overriding them in the derived +class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual \texttt{DoGetXXX()} method +and all \texttt{GetXXX()} ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former +changes the behaviour of the latter. \wxheading{Derived from} @@ -29,37 +50,80 @@ window class or on all platforms. \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a thin border around the window. wxBORDER is the old name for this style. } -\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxDOUBLE\_BORDER}}{Displays a double border.
