5 A classification of wxWindows classes by category.
8 {\large {\bf Managed windows
}}
10 There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the
11 window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager).
12 Frames may contain windows, and dialog boxes may directly contain controls.

112 {\large {\bf Window layout
}}
114 There are two different systems for layouting windows (and dialogs in particular).
115 One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating
116 and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the
117 other is based on so-called constraints and allows for more detailed layouts.
119 These are the classes relevant to the sizer-based layout.
