%% @doc wx_object - Generic wx object behaviour
%%
%% This is a behaviour module that can be used for "sub classing" 
%% wx objects. It works like a regular gen_server module and creates
%% a server per object.  
%%
%% NOTE: Currently no form of inheritance is implemented.
%% 
%% 
%% The user module should export:
%%   
%%   init(Args) should return <br/>
%%     {wxObject, State} | {wxObject, State, Timeout} |
%%         ignore | {stop, Reason}
%%
%%   handle_call(Msg, {From, Tag}, State) should return <br/>
%%    {reply, Reply, State} | {reply, Reply, State, Timeout} |
%%        {noreply, State} | {noreply, State, Timeout} |
%%        {stop, Reason, Reply, State}  
%%
%%   Asynchronous window event handling: <br/>
%%   handle_event(#wx{}, State)  should return <br/>
%%    {noreply, State} | {noreply, State, Timeout} | {stop, Reason, State} 
%%
%%   Info is message e.g. {'EXIT', P, R}, {nodedown, N}, ...  <br/>
%%   handle_info(Info, State)  should return , ...  <br/>
%%    {noreply, State} | {noreply, State, Timeout} | {stop, Reason, State} 
%% 
%%   When stop is returned in one of the functions above with Reason =
%% normal | shutdown | Term, terminate(State) is called. It lets the
%% user module clean up, it is always called when server terminates or
%% when wxObject() in the driver is deleted. If the Parent process
%% terminates the Module:terminate/2 function is called. <br/>
%% terminate(Reason, State)
%%
%%
%% Example:  
%% 
%% ```
%% -module(myDialog).
%% -export([new/2, show/1, destroy/1]).  %% API 
%% -export([init/1, handle_call/3, handle_event/2,
