    @class wxMiniFrame

    A miniframe is a frame with a small title bar.
    It is suitable for floating toolbars that must not take up too much screen area.

    An example of mini frame can be seen in the @ref page_samples_dialogs
    using the "Mini frame" command of the "Generic dialogs" submenu.

    @remarks
    This class has miniframe functionality under Windows and GTK, i.e. the presence
    of mini frame will not be noted in the task bar and focus behaviour is different.
    On other platforms, it behaves like a normal frame.

    /**
        Constructor, creating the window.

        @param parent
            The window parent. This may be @NULL. If it is non-@NULL, the frame will
            always be displayed on top of the parent window on Windows.
        @param id
            The window identifier. It may take a value of -1 to indicate a default value.
        @param title
            The caption to be displayed on the frame's title bar.
        @param pos
            The window position. The value wxDefaultPosition indicates a default position,
            chosen by  either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
        @param size
            The window size. The value wxDefaultSize indicates a default size, chosen by
            either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
        @param style
            The window style. See wxMiniFrame.
        @param name
            The name of the window. This parameter is used to associate a name with
            the item, allowing the application user to set Motif resource values for
            individual windows.

        @remarks The frame behaves like a normal frame on non-Windows platforms.
