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.

174 and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the
175 other is based on so-called constraints and is deprecated, though still available.
