[wxPython] NewId

I cannot find any documentation for the function NewId(). From how it
works, my guess is that it combines ::wxNewId() and ::wxRegisterId(). Is
this correct?

No, NewId is just a backwards compatibility alias for wxNewId().

In that case, does wxNewId() incorporporate the functionality of
wxRegisterId()? This is not clear in the wxWindows docs. I notice that
calling NewId() gives me a new integer each time I call it. Or should I be
calling wxRegisterID() each time I call wxNewId()?

wxRegisterId()? This is not clear in the wxWindows docs. I notice that
calling NewId() gives me a new integer each time I call it. Or should I

be

calling wxRegisterID() each time I call wxNewId()?

static long wxCurrentId = 100;

long wxNewId (void)
{
  return wxCurrentId++;
}

void wxRegisterId (long id)
{
  if (id >= wxCurrentId)
    wxCurrentId = id + 1;
}

wxRegisterId just sets a new point for where the auto generated IDs start
from. If you have a hard coded ID that you want to ensure isn't duplicated
by wxNewId then you call wxRegisterId with it.
