40 wxTopLevelWindow is a common base class for wxDialog and wxFrame. It is an
41 abstract base class meaning that you never work with objects of this class
42 directly, but all of its methods are also applicable for the two classes
43 above.

523 Top level windows in wxUniversal port can use either system-provided
524 window decorations (i.e. title bar and various icons, buttons and menus
525 in it) or draw the decorations themselves. By default the system
526 decorations are used if they are available, but this method can be
527 called with @a native set to @false to change this for all windows
528 created after this point.
529
23324ae1 530 Also note that if @c WXDECOR environment variable is set, then custom
f992f2ae

531 decorations are used by default and so it may make sense to call this
532 method with default argument if the application can't use custom
533 decorations at all for some reason.
