40 wxTopLevelWindow is a common base class for wxDialog and wxFrame. It is an
41 abstract base class meaning that you never work with objects of this class
42 directly, but all of its methods are also applicable for the two classes
43 above.

508 Depending on the value of @a show parameter the window is either shown
509 full screen or restored to its normal state. @a style is a bit list
510 containing some or all of the following values, which indicate what
511 elements of the window to hide in full-screen mode:
512
513 - @c ::wxFULLSCREEN_NOMENUBAR
514 - @c ::wxFULLSCREEN_NOTOOLBAR
515 - @c ::wxFULLSCREEN_NOSTATUSBAR

550 Top level windows in wxUniversal port can use either system-provided
551 window decorations (i.e. title bar and various icons, buttons and menus
552 in it) or draw the decorations themselves. By default the system
553 decorations are used if they are available, but this method can be
554 called with @a native set to @false to change this for all windows
555 created after this point.
556
23324ae1 557 Also note that if @c WXDECOR environment variable is set, then custom
