\section{\class{wxFrame}}\label{wxframe}

A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the
user. It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain
a menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not
a frame or dialog.

A frame that has a status bar and toolbar created via the
CreateStatusBar/CreateToolBar functions manages these windows, and adjusts the
value returned by GetClientSize to reflect the remaining size available to
application windows.

\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxICONIZE}}{Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only. }
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCAPTION}}{Puts a caption on the frame.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxMINIMIZE}}{Identical to {\bf wxICONIZE}. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxMINIMIZE\_BOX}}{Displays a minimize box on the frame.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxMAXIMIZE}}{Displays the frame maximized. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX}}{Displays a maximize box on the frame.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxCLOSE\_BOX}}{Displays a close box on the frame.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSTAY\_ON\_TOP}}{Stay on top of all other windows,
see also wxFRAME\_FLOAT\_ON\_PARENT. Windows only.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSYSTEM\_MENU}}{Displays a system menu.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxRESIZE\_BORDER}}{Displays a resizeable border around the window.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFRAME\_TOOL\_WINDOW}}{Causes a frame with a small
titlebar to be created; the frame does not appear in the taskbar under Windows.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFRAME\_NO\_TASKBAR}}{Creates an otherwise normal
frame but it does not appear in the taskbar under Windows (note that it will
minimize to the desktop window which may seem strange to the users and thus it
might be better to use this style only without wxMINIMIZE\_BOX style).
Has no effect under other platforms.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFRAME\_FLOAT\_ON\_PARENT}}{The frame will always be
on top of its parent (unlike wxSTAY\_ON\_TOP). A frame created with this style
must have a non-NULL parent.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFRAME\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP}}{Under Windows, puts a query button on the
caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWindows will send
a wxEVT\_HELP event if the user clicked on an application window. {\it Note} that this is an extended
style and must be set by calling \helpref{SetExtraStyle}{wxwindowsetextrastyle} before Create is called (two-step construction).
You cannot use this style together with wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX or wxMINIMIZE\_BOX, so
you should use\rtfsp
{\tt wxDEFAULT\_FRAME\_STYLE \& ~ (wxMINIMIZE\_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX)} for the
frames having this style (the dialogs don't have a minimize or a maximize box by
default)}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFRAME\_SHAPED}}{Windows with this style are
  allowed to have their shape changed with the \helpref{SetShape}{wxframesetshape} method.}
\end{twocollist}

The default frame style is for normal, resizeable frames. To create a frame
which can not be resized by user, you may use the following combination of
styles: {\tt wxDEFAULT\_FRAME\_STYLE \& ~ (wxRESIZE\_BORDER \pipe wxRESIZE\_BOX \pipe wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX)}.
% Note: the space after the tilde is necessary or Tex2RTF complains.

See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}.

\wxheading{Default event processing}

wxFrame processes the following events:

\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\helpref{wxEVT\_SIZE}{wxsizeevent}}{If the frame has exactly one
child window, not counting the status and toolbar, this child is resized to
take the entire frame client area. If two or more windows are present, they
should be laid out explicitly either by manually handling wxEVT\_SIZE or using
\helpref{sizers}{sizeroverview}}

\twocolitem{\helpref{wxEVT\_MENU\_HIGHLIGHT}{wxmenuevent}}{The default
implementation displays the \helpref{help string}{wxmenuitemgethelp} associated
with the selected item in the first pane of the status bar, if there is one.}
\end{twocollist}

\wxheading{Remarks}

An application should normally define an \helpref{wxCloseEvent}{wxcloseevent} handler for the
frame to respond to system close events, for example so that related data and subwindows can be cleaned up.

\param{const wxSize\&}{ size = wxDefaultSize}, \param{long}{ style = wxDEFAULT\_FRAME\_STYLE},\rtfsp
\param{const wxString\& }{name = ``frame"}}

Constructor, creating the window.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{parent}{The window parent. This may be NULL. If it is non-NULL, the frame will
always be displayed on top of the parent window on Windows.}

\docparam{id}{The window identifier. It may take a value of -1 to indicate a default value.}

allowing the application user to set Motif resource values for
individual windows.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

For Motif, MWM (the Motif Window Manager) should be running for any window styles to work
(otherwise all styles take effect).

\wxheading{Remarks}

The width of the status bar is the whole width of the frame (adjusted automatically when
resizing), and the height and text size are chosen by the host windowing system.

By default, the status bar is an instance of wxStatusBar. To use a different class,
override \helpref{wxFrame::OnCreateStatusBar}{wxframeoncreatestatusbar}.

Note that you can put controls and other windows on the status bar if you wish.

a suitable toolbar class on each platform, such as wxToolBar95). To use a different class,
override \helpref{wxFrame::OnCreateToolBar}{wxframeoncreatetoolbar}.

When a toolbar has been created with this function, or made known to the frame
with \helpref{wxFrame::SetToolBar}{wxframesettoolbar}, the frame will manage the toolbar
position and adjust the return value from \helpref{wxWindow::GetClientSize}{wxwindowgetclientsize} to
reflect the available space for application windows.

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxFrame::CreateStatusBar}{wxframecreatestatusbar}, \helpref{wxStatusBar}{wxstatusbar}.

\membersection{wxFrame::OnCreateToolBar}\label{wxframeoncreatetoolbar}

\func{virtual wxToolBar*}{OnCreateToolBar}{\param{long}{ style},
 \param{wxWindowID}{ id}, \param{const wxString\&}{ name}}

Virtual function called when a toolbar is requested by \helpref{wxFrame::CreateToolBar}{wxframecreatetoolbar}.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{style}{The toolbar style. See \helpref{wxToolBar}{wxtoolbar} for a list
of valid styles.}

\docparam{id}{The toolbar window identifier. If -1, an identifier will be chosen by
wxWindows.}

\docparam{name}{The toolbar window name.}

\membersection{wxFrame::SendSizeEvent}\label{wxframesendsizeevent}

\func{void}{SendSizeEvent}{\void}

This function sends a dummy \helpref{size event}{wxsizeevent} to the frame
forcing it to reevaluate its children positions. It is sometimes useful to call
this function after adding or deleting a children after the frame creation or
if a child size changes.

Note that if the frame is using either sizers or constraints for the children
layout, it is enough to call \helpref{Layout()}{wxwindowlayout} directly and
this function should not be used in this case.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetIcon}\label{wxframeseticon}

\func{void}{SetIcon}{\param{const wxIcon\& }{icon}}

Sets the icon for this frame.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{icon}{The icon to associate with this frame.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

The frame takes a `copy' of {\it icon}, but since it uses reference
counting, the copy is very quick. It is safe to delete {\it icon} after
calling this function.

See also \helpref{wxIcon}{wxicon}.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetIcons}\label{wxframeseticons}

\func{void}{SetIcons}{\param{const wxIconBundle\& }{icons}}

Sets the icons for this frame.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{icons}{The icons to associate with this frame.}

See also \helpref{wxIconBundle}{wxiconbundle}.

% VZ: we don't have all this any more (18.08.00)
%
%Under Windows, instead of using {\bf SetIcon}, you can add the
%following lines to your MS Windows resource file:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%wxSTD_MDIPARENTFRAME ICON icon1.ico
%wxSTD_MDICHILDFRAME  ICON icon2.ico
%wxSTD_FRAME          ICON icon3.ico
%\end{verbatim}
%
%where icon1.ico will be used for the MDI parent frame, icon2.ico
%will be used for MDI child frames, and icon3.ico will be used for
%non-MDI frames.
%
%If these icons are not supplied, and {\bf SetIcon} is not called either,
%then the following defaults apply if you have included wx.rc.
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%wxDEFAULT_FRAME               ICON std.ico
%wxDEFAULT_MDIPARENTFRAME      ICON mdi.ico
%wxDEFAULT_MDICHILDFRAME       ICON child.ico
%\end{verbatim}
%
%You can replace std.ico, mdi.ico and child.ico with your own defaults
%for all your wxWindows application. Currently they show the same icon.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetMenuBar}\label{wxframesetmenubar}

\func{void}{SetMenuBar}{\param{wxMenuBar* }{menuBar}}

Tells the frame to show the given menu bar.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{menuBar}{The menu bar to associate with the frame.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

If the frame is destroyed, the
menu bar and its menus will be destroyed also, so do not delete the menu
bar explicitly (except by resetting the frame's menu bar to another
frame or NULL).

Under Windows, a size event is generated, so be sure to initialize
data members properly before calling {\bf SetMenuBar}.

Note that on some platforms, it is not possible to call this function twice for the same frame object.

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxFrame::GetMenuBar}{wxframegetmenubar}, \helpref{wxMenuBar}{wxmenubar}, \helpref{wxMenu}{wxmenu}.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetShape}\label{wxframesetshape}

\func{bool}{SetShape}{\param{const wxRegion\&}{ region}}

If the platform supports it, sets the shape of the window to that
depicted by \it{region}.  The system will not display or
respond to any mouse event for the pixels that lie outside of the
region.  To reset the window to the normal rectangular shape simply
call \it{SetShape} again with an empty region.  Returns TRUE if the
operation is successful.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetStatusBar}\label{wxframesetstatusbar}

\func{void}{SetStatusBar}{\param{wxStatusBar*}{ statusBar}}

Associates a status bar with the frame.

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxFrame::CreateStatusBar}{wxframecreatestatusbar}, \helpref{wxStatusBar}{wxstatusbar},\rtfsp
\helpref{wxFrame::GetStatusBar}{wxframegetstatusbar}

\membersection{wxFrame::SetStatusBarPane}\label{wxframesetstatusbarpane}

\func{void}{SetStatusBarPane}{\param{int}{ n}}

Set the status bar pane used to display menu and toolbar help.
Using -1 disables help display.

\membersection{wxFrame::SetStatusText}\label{wxframesetstatustext}

\func{virtual void}{SetStatusText}{\param{const wxString\& }{ text}, \param{int}{ number = 0}}

Sets the status bar text and redraws the status bar.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{text}{The text for the status field.}

\docparam{number}{The status field (starting from zero).}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Use an empty string to clear the status bar.

\helpref{wxFrame::CreateStatusBar}{wxframecreatestatusbar}, \helpref{wxStatusBar}{wxstatusbar}

\membersection{wxFrame::SetStatusWidths}\label{wxframesetstatuswidths}

\func{virtual void}{SetStatusWidths}{\param{int}{ n}, \param{int *}{widths}}

Sets the widths of the fields in the status bar.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\wxheading{n}{The number of fields in the status bar. It must be the
same used in \helpref{CreateStatusBar}{wxframecreatestatusbar}.}

\docparam{widths}{Must contain an array of {\it n} integers, each of which is a status field width
in pixels. A value of -1 indicates that the field is variable width; at least one
field must be -1. You should delete this array after calling {\bf SetStatusWidths}.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

The widths of the variable fields are calculated from the total width of all fields,
minus the sum of widths of the non-variable fields, divided by the number of
variable fields.

\pythonnote{Only a single parameter is required, a Python list of
integers.}

\perlnote{In wxPerl this method takes the field widths as parameters.}

\membersection{wxFrame::SetToolBar}\label{wxframesettoolbar}

\func{void}{SetToolBar}{\param{wxToolBar*}{ toolBar}}

\membersection{wxFrame::SetTitle}\label{wxframesettitle}

\func{virtual void}{SetTitle}{\param{const wxString\& }{ title}}

Sets the frame title.

\wxheading{Parameters}

\docparam{title}{The frame title.}

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxFrame::GetTitle}{wxframegettitle}

\membersection{wxFrame::ShowFullScreen}\label{wxframeshowfullscreen}

\func{bool}{ShowFullScreen}{\param{bool}{ show}, \param{long}{ style = wxFULLSCREEN\_ALL}}

Depending on the value of {\it show} parameter the frame is either shown full
screen or restored to its normal state. {\it style} is a bit list containing
some or all of the following values, which indicate what elements of the frame
to hide in full-screen mode:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_NOMENUBAR
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_NOTOOLBAR
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_NOSTATUSBAR
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_NOBORDER
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_NOCAPTION
\item wxFULLSCREEN\_ALL (all of the above)
\end{itemize}

This function has not been tested with MDI frames.

Note that showing a frame full screen also actually
\helpref{Show()s}{wxwindowshow} if it hadn't been shown yet.
