7c913512 19

FM
20 A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user.
21
22 It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain a
23 menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not
23324ae1 24 a frame or dialog.
7c913512 25
ea6a2ccb
FM
26 A frame that has a status bar and toolbar, created via the CreateStatusBar() and
27 CreateToolBar() functions, manages these windows and adjusts the value returned
28 by GetClientSize() to reflect the remaining size available to application windows.
29
30 @remarks An application should normally define an wxCloseEvent handler for the
31 frame to respond to system close events, for example so that related
32 data and subwindows can be cleaned up.
33
34
674d80a7 35 @section frame_defaultevent Default event processing
ea6a2ccb
FM
36
37 wxFrame processes the following events:
38
39 @li @c wxEVT_SIZE: if the frame has exactly one child window, not counting the
40 status and toolbar, this child is resized to take the entire frame client area.
41 If two or more windows are present, they should be laid out explicitly either
9d157d59 42 by manually handling @c wxEVT_SIZE or using sizers;
ea6a2ccb
FM
43 @li @c wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT: the default implementation displays the help string
44 associated with the selected item in the first pane of the status bar, if there is one.

23324ae1 47 @beginStyleTable
8c6791e4 48 @style{wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE}
7c913512 49 Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxRESIZE_BORDER |
23324ae1 50 wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxCAPTION | wxCLOSE_BOX | wxCLIP_CHILDREN.
8c6791e4 51 @style{wxICONIZE}
23324ae1 52 Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only.
8c6791e4 53 @style{wxCAPTION}
7832ada0
VZ
54 Puts a caption on the frame. Notice that this flag is required by
55 wxMINIMIZE_BOX, wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX on most systems as
56 the corresponding buttons cannot be shown if the window has no title
57 bar at all. I.e. if wxCAPTION is not specified those styles would be
58 simply ignored.
8c6791e4 59 @style{wxMINIMIZE}
23324ae1 60 Identical to wxICONIZE. Windows only.
8c6791e4 61 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
23324ae1 62 Displays a minimize box on the frame.
8c6791e4 63 @style{wxMAXIMIZE}
62fc18ef 64 Displays the frame maximized. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 65 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
7832ada0
VZ
66 Displays a maximize box on the frame. Notice that under wxGTK
67 wxRESIZE_BORDER must be used as well or this style is ignored.
8c6791e4 68 @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
23324ae1 69 Displays a close box on the frame.
8c6791e4 70 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
23324ae1 71 Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT.
8c6791e4 72 @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
7832ada0
VZ
73 Displays a system menu containing the list of various windows
74 commands in the window title bar. Unlike wxMINIMIZE_BOX,
75 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX styles this style can be used without
76 wxCAPTION, at least under Windows, and makes the system menu
77 available without showing it on screen in this case. However it is
78 recommended to only use it together with wxCAPTION for consistent
79 behaviour under all platforms.
8c6791e4 80 @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
d13b34d3 81 Displays a resizable border around the window.
8c6791e4 82 @style{wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW}
7832ada0 83 Causes a frame with a small title bar to be created; the frame does
23324ae1 84 not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+.
8c6791e4 85 @style{wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR}
23324ae1
FM
86 Creates an otherwise normal frame but it does not appear in the
87 taskbar under Windows or GTK+ (note that it will minimize to the
88 desktop window under Windows which may seem strange to the users
89 and thus it might be better to use this style only without
7832ada0
VZ
90 wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if the
91 window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
8c6791e4 92 @style{wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT}
ea6a2ccb
FM
93 The frame will always be on top of its parent (unlike wxSTAY_ON_TOP).
94 A frame created with this style must have a non-@NULL parent.
95 @style{wxFRAME_SHAPED}
7832ada0 96 Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed
ea6a2ccb
FM
97 with the SetShape() method.
98 @endStyleTable
99
d13b34d3 100 The default frame style is for normal, resizable frames.
4c51a665 101 To create a frame which cannot be resized by user, you may use the following
ea6a2ccb
FM
102 combination of styles:
103
104 @code
15840e67 105 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & ~(wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX)
ea6a2ccb
FM
106 @endcode
107
108 See also the @ref overview_windowstyles.
109
110 @beginExtraStyleTable
8c6791e4 111 @style{wxFRAME_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
23324ae1
FM
112 Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
113 Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
3a194bda 114 will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
23324ae1
FM
115 window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
116 calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
117 construction). You cannot use this style together with
118 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so you should use
119 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ~ (wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX) for the
120 frames having this style (the dialogs don't have a minimize or a
121 maximize box by default)
8c6791e4 122 @style{wxFRAME_EX_METAL}
23324ae1
FM
123 On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
124 look. This is an extra style.

VZ
129 Process a @c wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW event when the frame is being
130 closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close).
9d157d59
FM
131 The user may generate this event clicking the close button
132 (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present
3051a44a
FM
133 (see the @c wxCLOSE_BOX style). See wxCloseEvent.
134 @event{EVT_ICONIZE(func)}
135 Process a @c wxEVT_ICONIZE event. See wxIconizeEvent.
136 @event{EVT_MENU_OPEN(func)}
137 A menu is about to be opened. See wxMenuEvent.
138 @event{EVT_MENU_CLOSE(func)}
139 A menu has been just closed. See wxMenuEvent.
140 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT(id, func)}
141 The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show
142 help prompts in the status bar by wxFrame. See wxMenuEvent.
143 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL(func)}
144 A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed.
