5A classification of wxWidgets classes by category.

7{\large {\bf Managed windows}}
8
9There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the
10window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager).
11Frames and dialogs are similar in wxWidgets, but only dialogs may be modal.

170There are two different systems for laying out windows (and dialogs in particular).
171One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating
172and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the
173other is based on so-called constraints and is deprecated, though still available.
