wxStyledTextCtrl.__init__ & .__repr__

Summary:

The __init__ method is called when the STC object is created. It returns an STC object instance.

The __repr__ method is used when the built-in function repr(stc_object) is used. It returns a string.

----

wxStyledTextCtrl.__init__(parent,id,pos,size,style,name)

Parameters and their types:

parent = parent window. OBJECT

id = window ID constant. INTEGER. Use -1 for auto-generation, or use wxNewId()

pos = initial position. wxPOINT. Use wxPyDefaultPosition or omit if last kwarg
