/**
The wxScrolled class manages scrolling for its client area, transforming
the coordinates according to the scrollbar positions, and setting the
scroll positions, thumb sizes and ranges according to the area in view.
There are two commonly used (but not the only possible!) specializations of
this class:
- ::wxScrolledWindow, aka wxScrolled<wxPanel>, is equivalent to
::wxScrolledWindow from earlier versions. Derived from wxPanel, it shares
wxPanel's behaviour with regard to TAB traversal and focus handling. Use
this if the scrolled window will have child controls.
- ::wxScrolledCanvas, aka wxScrolled<wxWindow>, derives from wxWindow and
so doesn't handle children specially. This is suitable e.g. for
implementating scrollable controls such as tree or list controls.
Starting from version 2.4 of wxWidgets, there are several ways to use a
::wxScrolledWindow (and now wxScrolled). In particular, there are
three ways to set the size of the scrolling area:
One way is to set the scrollbars directly using a call to SetScrollbars().
This is the way it used to be in any previous version of wxWidgets and it
will be kept for backwards compatibility.
An additional method of manual control, which requires a little less
computation of your own, is to set the total size of the scrolling area by
calling either wxWindow::SetVirtualSize(), or wxWindow::FitInside(), and
setting the scrolling increments for it by calling SetScrollRate().
Scrolling in some orientation is enabled by setting a non-zero increment
for it.
The most automatic and newest way is to simply let sizers determine the
scrolling area. This is now the default when you set an interior sizer into
a wxScrolled with wxWindow::SetSizer(). The scrolling area will be
set to the size requested by the sizer and the scrollbars will be assigned
for each orientation according to the need for them and the scrolling
increment set by SetScrollRate(). As above, scrolling is only enabled in
orientations with a non-zero increment. You can influence the minimum size
of the scrolled area controlled by a sizer by calling
wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(). (Calling SetScrollbars() has analogous
effects in wxWidgets 2.4 -- in later versions it may not continue to
override the sizer.)
Note that if maximum size hints are still supported by
wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(), use them at your own dire risk. They may
or may not have been removed for 2.4, but it really only makes sense to set
minimum size hints here. We should probably replace
wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints() with wxWindow::SetMinVirtualSize() or
similar and remove it entirely in future.
As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolled using a
@ref overview_dc "device context".
You have the option of handling the OnPaint handler or overriding the
wxScrolled::OnDraw() function, which is passed a pre-scrolled device
context (prepared by wxScrolled::DoPrepareDC()).
If you don't wish to calculate your own scrolling, you must call
DoPrepareDC() when not drawing from within OnDraw(), to set the device
origin for the device context according to the current scroll position.
A wxScrolled will normally scroll itself and therefore its child windows
as well. It might however be desired to scroll a different window than
itself: e.g. when designing a spreadsheet, you will normally only have to
scroll the (usually white) cell area, whereas the (usually grey) label area
will scroll very differently. For this special purpose, you can call
SetTargetWindow() which means that pressing the scrollbars will scroll a
different window.
Note that the underlying system knows nothing about scrolling coordinates,
so that all system functions (mouse events, expose events, refresh calls
etc) as well as the position of subwindows are relative to the "physical"
origin of the scrolled window. If the user insert a child window at
position (10,10) and scrolls the window down 100 pixels (moving the child
window out of the visible area), the child window will report a position
of (10,-90).

Uses a backing pixmap to speed refreshes. Motif only.

@remarks
Use wxScrolled for applications where the user scrolls by a fixed amount,
and where a 'page' can be interpreted to be the current visible portion of
the window. For more sophisticated applications, use the wxScrolled
implementation as a guide to build your own scroll behaviour or use
wxVScrolledWindow or its variants.
@since The wxScrolled template exists since version 2.9.0. In older versions,
only ::wxScrolledWindow (equivalent of wxScrolled<wxPanel>) was
available.

/**
Call this function to prepare the device context for drawing a scrolled
image.
It sets the device origin according to the current scroll position.
DoPrepareDC() is called automatically within the default @c wxEVT_PAINT
event handler, so your OnDraw() override will be passed an already
'pre-scrolled' device context. However, if you wish to draw from
outside of OnDraw() (e.g. from your own @c wxEVT_PAINT handler), you
must call this function yourself.
For example:
@code
void MyWindow::OnEvent(wxMouseEvent& event)
{
wxClientDC dc(this);
DoPrepareDC(dc);
dc.SetPen(*wxBLACK_PEN);
float x, y;
event.Position(&x, &y);
if (xpos > -1 && ypos > -1 && event.Dragging())
{
dc.DrawLine(xpos, ypos, x, y);
}
xpos = x;
ypos = y;
}
@endcode
Notice that the function sets the origin by moving it relatively to the
current origin position, so you shouldn't change the origin before
calling DoPrepareDC() or, if you do, reset it to (0, 0) later. If you
call DoPrepareDC() immediately after device context creation, as in the
example above, this problem doesn't arise, of course, so it is
customary to do it like this.

The second pair gives the length of scrollbar in scroll steps, which
sets the size of the virtual window.
@a xPos and @a yPos optionally specify a position to scroll to
immediately.
For example, the following gives a window horizontal and vertical
scrollbars with 20 pixels per scroll step, and a size of 50 steps (1000
pixels) in each direction:

window->SetScrollbars(20, 20, 50, 50);

wxScrolled manages the page size itself, using the current client
window size as the page size.

where scroll steps may be variable according to the position in the
document, it will be necessary to derive a new class from wxWindow,
overriding OnSize() and adjusting the scrollbars appropriately.
