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

272 use a combined menubar and toolbar.
