3In the descriptions of the wxWidgets classes and their member
4functions, note that descriptions of inherited member functions are not
5duplicated in derived classes unless their behaviour is different. So in
6using a class such as wxScrolledWindow, be aware that wxWindow functions may be
7relevant.
8
9Note also that arguments with default values may be omitted from a
10function call, for brevity. Size and position arguments may usually be
11given a value of -1 (the default), in which case wxWidgets will choose a
12suitable value.
13
14Most strings are returned as wxString objects. However, for remaining
15char * return values, the strings are allocated and
16deallocated by wxWidgets. Therefore, return values should always be
17copied for long-term use, especially since the same buffer is often
18used by wxWidgets.

20The member functions are given in alphabetical order except for
21constructors and destructors which appear first.
