13 A dialog box is a window with a title bar and sometimes a system menu, which
14 can be moved around the screen. It can contain controls and other windows and
15 is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to answer a question.
7c913512 16
23324ae1

17 Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically: please see @ref
18 overview_autoscrollingdialogs "Automatic scrolling dialogs" for further details.

8c6791e4 30 @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
23324ae1 31 Displays a close box on the frame.
8c6791e4 32 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
23324ae1 33 Displays a maximize box on the dialog.
8c6791e4 34 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
23324ae1 35 Displays a minimize box on the dialog.
8c6791e4 36 @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}
23324ae1 37 Display a thick frame around the window.
8c6791e4 38 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
23324ae1 39 The dialog stays on top of all other windows.
8c6791e4 40 @style{wxNO_3D}
23324ae1

41 Under Windows, specifies that the child controls should not have 3D
42 borders unless specified in the control.
8c6791e4 43 @style{wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT}
23324ae1
FM
44 By default, a dialog created with a @NULL parent window will be
45 given the application's top level window as parent. Use this style
46 to prevent this from happening and create an orphan dialog. This is
47 not recommended for modal dialogs.
8c6791e4 48 @style{wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
23324ae1
FM
49 Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
50 Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
51 will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
52 window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
53 calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
54 construction).
8c6791e4 55 @style{wxDIALOG_EX_METAL}
23324ae1
FM
56 On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
57 look. This is an extra style.
