10 @class wxFrame
7c913512 11
ea6a2ccb
FM
12 A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user.
13
14 It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain a
15 menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not
23324ae1 16 a frame or dialog.
7c913512 17
ea6a2ccb
FM
18 A frame that has a status bar and toolbar, created via the CreateStatusBar() and
19 CreateToolBar() functions, manages these windows and adjusts the value returned
20 by GetClientSize() to reflect the remaining size available to application windows.
21
22 @remarks An application should normally define an wxCloseEvent handler for the
23 frame to respond to system close events, for example so that related
24 data and subwindows can be cleaned up.

674d80a7 27 @section frame_defaultevent Default event processing
ea6a2ccb
FM
28
29 wxFrame processes the following events:
30
31 @li @c wxEVT_SIZE: if the frame has exactly one child window, not counting the
32 status and toolbar, this child is resized to take the entire frame client area.
33 If two or more windows are present, they should be laid out explicitly either
9d157d59 34 by manually handling @c wxEVT_SIZE or using sizers;
ea6a2ccb
FM
35 @li @c wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT: the default implementation displays the help string
36 associated with the selected item in the first pane of the status bar, if there is one.

23324ae1 39 @beginStyleTable
8c6791e4 40 @style{wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE}
7c913512 41 Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxRESIZE_BORDER |
23324ae1 42 wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxCAPTION | wxCLOSE_BOX | wxCLIP_CHILDREN.
8c6791e4 43 @style{wxICONIZE}
23324ae1 44 Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only.
8c6791e4 45 @style{wxCAPTION}
7832ada0
VZ
46 Puts a caption on the frame. Notice that this flag is required by
47 wxMINIMIZE_BOX, wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX on most systems as
48 the corresponding buttons cannot be shown if the window has no title
49 bar at all. I.e. if wxCAPTION is not specified those styles would be
50 simply ignored.
8c6791e4 51 @style{wxMINIMIZE}
23324ae1 52 Identical to wxICONIZE. Windows only.
8c6791e4 53 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
23324ae1 54 Displays a minimize box on the frame.
8c6791e4 55 @style{wxMAXIMIZE}
62fc18ef 56 Displays the frame maximized. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 57 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
7832ada0
VZ
58 Displays a maximize box on the frame. Notice that under wxGTK
59 wxRESIZE_BORDER must be used as well or this style is ignored.
8c6791e4 60 @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
23324ae1 61 Displays a close box on the frame.
8c6791e4 62 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
23324ae1 63 Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT.
8c6791e4 64 @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
7832ada0
VZ
65 Displays a system menu containing the list of various windows
66 commands in the window title bar. Unlike wxMINIMIZE_BOX,
67 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX styles this style can be used without
68 wxCAPTION, at least under Windows, and makes the system menu
69 available without showing it on screen in this case. However it is
70 recommended to only use it together with wxCAPTION for consistent
71 behaviour under all platforms.
8c6791e4 72 @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
d13b34d3 73 Displays a resizable border around the window.
8c6791e4 74 @style{wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW}
7832ada0 75 Causes a frame with a small title bar to be created; the frame does
23324ae1 76 not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+.
8c6791e4 77 @style{wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR}
23324ae1
FM
78 Creates an otherwise normal frame but it does not appear in the
79 taskbar under Windows or GTK+ (note that it will minimize to the
80 desktop window under Windows which may seem strange to the users
81 and thus it might be better to use this style only without
7832ada0
VZ
82 wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if the
83 window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
8c6791e4 84 @style{wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT}
ea6a2ccb
FM
85 The frame will always be on top of its parent (unlike wxSTAY_ON_TOP).
86 A frame created with this style must have a non-@NULL parent.
87 @style{wxFRAME_SHAPED}
7832ada0 88 Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed
ea6a2ccb
FM
89 with the SetShape() method.
90 @endStyleTable
91
d13b34d3 92 The default frame style is for normal, resizable frames.
4c51a665 93 To create a frame which cannot be resized by user, you may use the following
ea6a2ccb
FM
94 combination of styles:
95
96 @code
15840e67 97 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & ~(wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX)
ea6a2ccb
FM
98 @endcode
99
100 See also the @ref overview_windowstyles.
101
102 @beginExtraStyleTable
8c6791e4 103 @style{wxFRAME_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
23324ae1
FM
104 Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
105 Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
3a194bda 106 will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
23324ae1
FM
107 window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
108 calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
109 construction). You cannot use this style together with
110 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so you should use
111 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ~ (wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX) for the
112 frames having this style (the dialogs don't have a minimize or a
113 maximize box by default)
8c6791e4 114 @style{wxFRAME_EX_METAL}
23324ae1
FM
115 On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
116 look. This is an extra style.

122 closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close).
9d157d59

123 The user may generate this event clicking the close button
124 (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present
3051a44a

125 (see the @c wxCLOSE_BOX style). See wxCloseEvent.

127 Process a @c wxEVT_ICONIZE event. See wxIconizeEvent.
128 @event{EVT_MENU_OPEN(func)}
129 A menu is about to be opened. See wxMenuEvent.
130 @event{EVT_MENU_CLOSE(func)}
131 A menu has been just closed. See wxMenuEvent.
132 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT(id, func)}
133 The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show
134 help prompts in the status bar by wxFrame. See wxMenuEvent.
135 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL(func)}
136 A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed.
