@class wxWindow
wxWindow is the base class for all windows and represents any visible object on
screen. All controls, top level windows and so on are windows. Sizers and
device contexts are not, however, as they don't appear on screen themselves.
Please note that all children of the window will be deleted automatically by
the destructor before the window itself is deleted which means that you don't
have to worry about deleting them manually. Please see the @ref
overview_windowdeletion "window deletion overview" for more information.
Also note that in this, and many others, wxWidgets classes some
@c GetXXX() methods may be overloaded (as, for example,
wxWindow::GetSize or wxWindow::GetClientSize). In this case, the overloads
are non-virtual because having multiple virtual functions with the same name
results in a virtual function name hiding at the derived class level (in
English, this means that the derived class has to override all overloaded
variants if it overrides any of them). To allow overriding them in the derived
class, wxWidgets uses a unique protected virtual @c DoGetXXX() method
and all @c GetXXX() ones are forwarded to it, so overriding the former
changes the behaviour of the latter.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxBORDER_DEFAULT}
The window class will decide the kind of border to show, if any.
@style{wxBORDER_SIMPLE}
Displays a thin border around the window. wxSIMPLE_BORDER is the
old name for this style.
@style{wxBORDER_SUNKEN}
Displays a sunken border. wxSUNKEN_BORDER is the old name for this
style.
@style{wxBORDER_RAISED}
Displays a raised border. wxRAISED_BORDER is the old name for this
style.
@style{wxBORDER_STATIC}
Displays a border suitable for a static control. wxSTATIC_BORDER
is the old name for this style. Windows only.
@style{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 Themed
borders on Windows.
@style{wxBORDER_NONE}
Displays no border, overriding the default border style for the
window. wxNO_BORDER is the old name for this style.
@style{wxBORDER_DOUBLE}
This style is obsolete and should not be used.
@style{wxTRANSPARENT_WINDOW}
The window is transparent, that is, it will not receive paint
events. Windows only.
@style{wxTAB_TRAVERSAL}
Use this to enable tab traversal for non-dialog windows.
@style{wxWANTS_CHARS}
Use this to indicate that 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 use this style in order to get
the arrows or etc., but would still like to have normal keyboard
navigation take place, you should call Navigate in response to the
key events for Tab and Shift-Tab.
@style{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.
@style{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.
@style{wxHSCROLL}
Use this style to enable a horizontal scrollbar. The same
limitations as for wxVSCROLL apply to this style.
@style{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). This style is
currently implemented for wxMSW, wxGTK and wxUniversal and does
nothing on the other platforms.
@style{wxCLIP_CHILDREN}
Use this style to eliminate flicker caused by the background being
repainted, then children being painted over them. Windows only.
@style{wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE}
Use this style to force a complete redraw of the window whenever it
is resized instead of redrawing just the part of the window
affected by resizing. Note that this was the behaviour by default
before 2.5.1 release and that if you experience redraw problems
with code which previously used to work you may want to try this.
Currently this style applies on GTK+ 2 and Windows only, and full
repainting is always done on other platforms.
@endStyleTable
@beginExtraStyleTable
@style{wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY}
By default, Validate/TransferDataTo/FromWindow() only work on
direct children of the window (compatible behaviour). Set this flag
to make them recursively descend into all subwindows.
@style{wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS}
wxCommandEvents and the objects of the derived classes are
forwarded to the parent window and so on recursively by default.
Using this flag for the given window allows to block this
propagation at this window, i.e. prevent the events from being
propagated further upwards. Dialogs have this flag on by default.
@style{wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT}
Don't use this window as an implicit parent for the other windows:
this must be used with transient windows as otherwise there is the
risk of creating a dialog/frame with this window as a parent which
would lead to a crash if the parent is destroyed before the child.
@style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE}
This window should always process idle events, even if the mode set
by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
@style{wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES}
This window should always process UI update events, even if the
mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.

This rather complicated logic is necessary in order to accommodate the

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

@param handler
Specifies the handler to be set.
@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.

Sets the extra style bits for the window. The currently defined extra style
bits are:
@b wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY
TransferDataTo/FromWindow()
and Validate() methods will recursively descend into all children of the
window if it has this style flag set.
@b wxWS_EX_BLOCK_EVENTS
Normally, the command
events are propagated upwards to the window parent recursively until a handler
for them is found. Using this style allows to prevent them from being
propagated beyond this window. Notice that wxDialog has this style on by
default for the reasons explained in the
@ref overview_eventhandling "Event Handling Overview".
@b wxWS_EX_TRANSIENT
This can be used to prevent a
window from being used as an implicit parent for the dialogs which were
created without a parent. It is useful for the windows which can disappear at
any moment as creating children of such windows results in fatal problems.
@b wxWS_EX_CONTEXTHELP
Under Windows, puts a query
button on the caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive
help mode and wxWidgets will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an
application window.
This style cannot be used together with wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so
these two styles are automatically turned of if this one is used.
@b wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE
This window should always process idle events, even
if the mode set by wxIdleEvent::SetMode is wxIDLE_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
@b wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES
This window should always process UI update events,
even if the mode set by wxUpdateUIEvent::SetMode is
wxUPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED.
