8 | {\large {\bf Managed windows}} | |
9 | ||
10 | There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the | |
11 | window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager). | |
12 | Frames may contain windows, and dialog boxes may directly contain controls. | |
13 | ||

515da557 RR |
103 | There are two different systems for layouting windows (and dialogs in particluar). |
104 | One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating | |
105 | and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the | |
106 | other is based on so-called constraints and allows for more detailed layouts. | |
