17 @class wxFrame
18
19 A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user.
20
21 It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain a
22 menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not
23 a frame or dialog.
24
25 A frame that has a status bar and toolbar, created via the CreateStatusBar() and
26 CreateToolBar() functions, manages these windows and adjusts the value returned
27 by GetClientSize() to reflect the remaining size available to application windows.
28
29 @remarks An application should normally define an wxCloseEvent handler for the
30 frame to respond to system close events, for example so that related
31 data and subwindows can be cleaned up.
32
33
34 @section frame_defaultevent Default event processing
35
36 wxFrame processes the following events:
37
38 @li @c wxEVT_SIZE: if the frame has exactly one child window, not counting the
39 status and toolbar, this child is resized to take the entire frame client area.
40 If two or more windows are present, they should be laid out explicitly either
41 by manually handling @c wxEVT_SIZE or using sizers;
42 @li @c wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT: the default implementation displays the help string
43 associated with the selected item in the first pane of the status bar, if there is one.
44
45
46 @beginStyleTable
47 @style{wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE}
48 Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxRESIZE_BORDER |
49 wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxCAPTION | wxCLOSE_BOX | wxCLIP_CHILDREN.
50 @style{wxICONIZE}
51 Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only.
52 @style{wxCAPTION}
53 Puts a caption on the frame. Notice that this flag is required by
54 wxMINIMIZE_BOX, wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX on most systems as
55 the corresponding buttons cannot be shown if the window has no title
56 bar at all. I.e. if wxCAPTION is not specified those styles would be
57 simply ignored.
58 @style{wxMINIMIZE}
59 Identical to wxICONIZE. Windows only.
60 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
61 Displays a minimize box on the frame.
62 @style{wxMAXIMIZE}
63 Displays the frame maximized. Windows and GTK+ only.
64 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
65 Displays a maximize box on the frame. Notice that under wxGTK
66 wxRESIZE_BORDER must be used as well or this style is ignored.
67 @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
68 Displays a close box on the frame.
69 @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
70 Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT.
71 @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
72 Displays a system menu containing the list of various windows
73 commands in the window title bar. Unlike wxMINIMIZE_BOX,
74 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX styles this style can be used without
75 wxCAPTION, at least under Windows, and makes the system menu
76 available without showing it on screen in this case. However it is
77 recommended to only use it together with wxCAPTION for consistent
78 behaviour under all platforms.
79 @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
80 Displays a resizable border around the window.
81 @style{wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW}
82 Causes a frame with a small title bar to be created; the frame does
83 not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+.
84 @style{wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR}
85 Creates an otherwise normal frame but it does not appear in the
86 taskbar under Windows or GTK+ (note that it will minimize to the
87 desktop window under Windows which may seem strange to the users
88 and thus it might be better to use this style only without
89 wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if the
90 window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
91 @style{wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT}
92 The frame will always be on top of its parent (unlike wxSTAY_ON_TOP).
93 A frame created with this style must have a non-@NULL parent.
94 @style{wxFRAME_SHAPED}
95 Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed
96 with the SetShape() method.
97 @endStyleTable
98
99 The default frame style is for normal, resizable frames.
100 To create a frame which cannot be resized by user, you may use the following
101 combination of styles:
102
103 @code
104 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & ~(wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX)
105 @endcode
106
107 See also the @ref overview_windowstyles.
108
109 @beginExtraStyleTable
110 @style{wxFRAME_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
111 Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
112 Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
113 will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
114 window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
115 calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
116 construction). You cannot use this style together with
117 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so you should use
118 wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ~ (wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX) for the
119 frames having this style (the dialogs don't have a minimize or a
120 maximize box by default)
121 @style{wxFRAME_EX_METAL}
122 On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
123 look. This is an extra style.
124 @endExtraStyleTable
125
126 @beginEventEmissionTable
127 @event{EVT_CLOSE(func)}
128 Process a @c wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW event when the frame is being
129 closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close).
130 The user may generate this event clicking the close button
131 (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present
132 (see the @c wxCLOSE_BOX style). See wxCloseEvent.
133 @event{EVT_ICONIZE(func)}
134 Process a @c wxEVT_ICONIZE event. See wxIconizeEvent.
135 @event{EVT_MENU_OPEN(func)}
136 A menu is about to be opened. See wxMenuEvent.
137 @event{EVT_MENU_CLOSE(func)}
138 A menu has been just closed. See wxMenuEvent.
139 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT(id, func)}
140 The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show
141 help prompts in the status bar by wxFrame. See wxMenuEvent.
142 @event{EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL(func)}
143 A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed.
144 See wxMenuEvent.
