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.

176 other is based on so-called constraints and is deprecated, though still available.
