38 @class wxTopLevelWindow
39
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.
44
45 Note that the instances of wxTopLevelWindow are managed by wxWidgets in the
46 internal top level window list.
