5 A classification of wxWindows classes by category.
7 {\large {\bf Managed windows
}}
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 may contain windows, and dialog boxes may directly contain controls.

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