.. class:: GenStaticText(wx.Control)

   :class:`GenStaticText` is a generic implementation of :class:`wx.StaticText`.

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, ID=-1, label="", pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0, name="genstattext")

      Default class constructor.
      
      :param `parent`: parent window, must not be ``None``;
      :param integer `ID`: window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;
      :param string `label`: the static text label (i.e., its text label);
      :param `pos`: the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :param `size`: the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :param integer `style`: the underlying :class:`wx.Control` style;
      :param string `name`: the widget name.
      
      :type parent: :class:`wx.Window`
      :type pos: tuple or :class:`wx.Point`
      :type size: tuple or :class:`wx.Size`


   .. method:: AcceptsFocus(self)

      Can this window be given focus by mouse click?
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: Disable(self)

      Disables the control.
      
      :returns: ``True`` if the window has been disabled, ``False`` if it had been
       already disabled before the call to this function.
      
      .. note:: This is functionally equivalent of calling :meth:`~wx.Window.Enable`
         with a ``False`` flag.
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: DoGetBestSize(self)

      Overridden base class virtual.  Determines the best size of
      the control based on the label size and the current font.
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: Enable(self, enable=True)

      Enable or disable the widget for user input.
      
      :param bool `enable`: If ``True``, enables the window for input. If
        ``False``, disables the window.
      
      :returns: ``True`` if the window has been enabled or disabled,
        ``False`` if nothing was done, i.e. if the window had already been
        in the specified state.
      
      .. note:: Note that when a parent window is disabled, all of its
         children are disabled as well and they are re-enabled again when
         the parent is.
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: GetDefaultAttributes(self)

      Overridden base class virtual.  By default we should use
      the same font/colour attributes as the native :class:`wx.StaticText`.
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: OnEraseBackground(self, event)

      Handles the ``wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND`` event for :class:`GenStaticText`.
      
      :param `event`: a :class:`wx.EraseEvent` event to be processed.
      
      .. note:: This is intentionally empty to reduce flicker.


   .. method:: OnPaint(self, event)

      Handles the ``wx.EVT_PAINT`` for :class:`GenStaticText`.
      
      :param `event`: a :class:`wx.PaintEvent` event to be processed.


   .. method:: SetFont(self, font)

      Sets the static text font and updates the control's size to exactly
      fit the label unless the control has ``wx.ST_NO_AUTORESIZE`` flag.
      
      :param wx.Font `font`: a valid font instance, which will be the new font used
       to display the text.


   .. method:: SetLabel(self, label)

      Sets the static text label and updates the control's size to exactly
      fit the label unless the control has ``wx.ST_NO_AUTORESIZE`` flag.
      
      :param string `label`: the static text label (i.e., its text label).


   .. method:: ShouldInheritColours(self)

      Overridden base class virtual.  If the parent has non-default
      colours then we want this control to inherit them.
      
      .. note:: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.
