10 @class wxMiniFrame
11
12 A miniframe is a frame with a small title bar.
13 It is suitable for floating toolbars that must not take up too much screen area.
14
15 An example of mini frame can be seen in the @ref page_samples_dialogs
16 using the "Mini frame" command of the "Generic dialogs" submenu.

41 @remarks
42 This class has miniframe functionality under Windows and GTK, i.e. the presence
43 of mini frame will not be noted in the task bar and focus behaviour is different.
44 On other platforms, it behaves like a normal frame.

62 @param parent
63 The window parent. This may be @NULL. If it is non-@NULL, the frame will
64 always be displayed on top of the parent window on Windows.
65 @param id
66 The window identifier. It may take a value of -1 to indicate a default value.
67 @param title
68 The caption to be displayed on the frame's title bar.
69 @param pos
70 The window position. The value wxDefaultPosition indicates a default position,
71 chosen by either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
72 @param size
73 The window size. The value wxDefaultSize indicates a default size, chosen by
74 either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
75 @param style
76 The window style. See wxMiniFrame.
77 @param name
78 The name of the window. This parameter is used to associate a name with
79 the item, allowing the application user to set Motif resource values for
80 individual windows.
81
82 @remarks The frame behaves like a normal frame on non-Windows platforms.
