3A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the
4user. It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain
5a menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not
6a frame or dialog.

8A frame that has a status bar and toolbar created via the
9CreateStatusBar/CreateToolBar functions manages these windows, and adjusts the
10value returned by GetClientSize to reflect the remaining size available to
11application windows.

63The default frame style is for normal, resizeable frames. To create a frame
64which can not be resized by user, you may use the following combination of
cc37ecaf 65styles: {\tt wxDEFAULT\_FRAME\_STYLE \& (wxRESIZE\_BORDER \pipe wxRESIZE\_BOX \pipe wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX)}.

202\wxheading{Remarks}
203
204The width of the status bar is the whole width of the frame (adjusted automatically when
205resizing), and the height and text size are chosen by the host windowing system.
206
207By default, the status bar is an instance of wxStatusBar. To use a different class,
208override \helpref{wxFrame::OnCreateStatusBar}{wxframeoncreatestatusbar}.

236
237A pointer to the the toolbar if it was created successfully, NULL otherwise.
238
239\wxheading{Remarks}
240
241By default, the toolbar is an instance of wxToolBar (which is defined to be
242a suitable toolbar class on each platform, such as wxToolBar95). To use a different class,
243override \helpref{wxFrame::OnCreateToolBar}{wxframeoncreatetoolbar}.
244
245When a toolbar has been created with this function, or made known to the frame
246with \helpref{wxFrame::SetToolBar}{wxframesettoolbar}, the frame will manage the toolbar
247position and adjust the return value from \helpref{wxWindow::GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize} to
248reflect the available space for application windows.

431
432This function sends a dummy \helpref{size event}{wxsizeevent} to the frame
433forcing it to reevaluate its children positions. It is sometimes useful to call
434this function after adding or deleting a children after the frame creation or
435if a child size changes.
436
437Note that if the frame is using either sizers or constraints for the children
438layout, it is enough to call \helpref{Layout()}{wxwindowlayout} directly and
439this function should not be used in this case.

473%Under Windows, instead of using {\bf SetIcon}, you can add the
474%following lines to your MS Windows resource file:
475%
476%\begin{verbatim}
477%wxSTD_MDIPARENTFRAME ICON icon1.ico
478%wxSTD_MDICHILDFRAME ICON icon2.ico
479%wxSTD_FRAME ICON icon3.ico
480%\end{verbatim}
481%
482%where icon1.ico will be used for the MDI parent frame, icon2.ico
483%will be used for MDI child frames, and icon3.ico will be used for
484%non-MDI frames.
485%
486%If these icons are not supplied, and {\bf SetIcon} is not called either,
487%then the following defaults apply if you have included wx.rc.
488%
489%\begin{verbatim}
490%wxDEFAULT_FRAME ICON std.ico
491%wxDEFAULT_MDIPARENTFRAME ICON mdi.ico
492%wxDEFAULT_MDICHILDFRAME ICON child.ico
493%\end{verbatim}
494%
495%You can replace std.ico, mdi.ico and child.ico with your own defaults
496%for all your wxWindows application. Currently they show the same icon.

500\func{void}{SetMenuBar}{\param{wxMenuBar* }{menuBar}}
501
502Tells the frame to show the given menu bar.
503
504\wxheading{Parameters}
505
506\docparam{menuBar}{The menu bar to associate with the frame.}
507
508\wxheading{Remarks}
509
510If the frame is destroyed, the
511menu bar and its menus will be destroyed also, so do not delete the menu
512bar explicitly (except by resetting the frame's menu bar to another
513frame or NULL).
514
515Under Windows, a call to \helpref{wxFrame::OnSize}{wxframeonsize} is generated, so be sure to initialize
516data members properly before calling {\bf SetMenuBar}.
517
518Note that it is not possible to call this function twice for the same frame object.

527
528If the platform supports it, sets the shape of the window to that
529depicted by \it{region}. The system will not display or
530respond to any mouse event for the pixels that lie outside of the
531region. To reset the window to the normal rectangular shape simply
532call \it{SetShape} again with an empty region. Returns TRUE if the
533operation is successful.
