\section{Notes on using the reference}\label{referencenotes}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the descriptions of the wxWindows classes and their member
|
||
|
|
functions, note that descriptions of inherited member functions are not
|
||
|
|
duplicated in derived classes unless their behaviour is different. So in
|
||
|
|
using a class such as wxCanvas, be aware that wxWindow functions may be
|
||
|
|
relevant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note also that arguments with default values may be omitted from a
|
||
|
|
function call, for brevity. Size and position arguments may usually be
|
||
|
|
given a value of -1 (the default), in which case wxWindows will choose a
|
||
|
|
suitable value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most strings are returned as wxString objects. However, for remaining
|
||
|
|
char * return values, the strings are allocated and
|
||
|
|
deallocated by wxWindows. Therefore, return values should always be
|
||
|
|
copied for long-term use, especially since the same buffer is often
|
||
|
|
used by wxWindows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The member functions are given in alphabetical order except for
|
||
|
|
constructors and destructors which appear first.
