5 A classification of wxWidgets classes by category.

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

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