9 | There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the | |
10 | window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager). | |
834ed994 | 11 | Frames and dialogs are similar in wxWidgets, but only dialogs may be modal. |

1c0c339c | 173 | other is based on so-called constraints and is deprecated, though still available. |
