\brief
    An abstract base class providing common functionality and specifying the
    required interface for derived classes.

    The Window base class is core UI object class that the the system knows
    about; for this reason, every other window, widget, or similar item within
    the system must be derived from Window.

    The base class provides the common functionality required by all UI objects,
    and specifies the minimal interface required to be implemented by derived
    classes.
