wxWindow GetPosition() bug???

[mardif]

Hi,
I've found a strange behavior in method GetPosition() of wxWindow class

( and derived ).
On windows, if you create a window object

frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "TESTING")

and you set the position to:
frame.SetPosition( (300, 45000) )

If you call method GetPosition, the result will be:
frame.GetPosition()

>>(300, 32767)

32767 is the integer limit. Why GetPosition() returns this value??? and

why on Unix Platform this problem was not found??

thx very much!

bye

Traditionally, there was a 16(15?) bit limit for coordinates on X Window
systems.

Maybe the wx implementations tries to be smarter than X itself and
restricts the positions artificially. Maybe Windows has sch a limit
itself...

I don't really know, other than 'never try to access coordinates
that are 'much' bigger than what is actually visible'...
