58 An MDI (Multiple Document Interface) parent frame is a window which can contain
59 MDI child frames in its own 'desktop'. It is a convenient way to avoid window
60 clutter,
61 and is used in many popular Windows applications, such as Microsoft Word(TM).

64 @style{wxCAPTION}
65 Puts a caption on the frame.
66 @style{wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE}
67 Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxTHICK_FRAME |
68 wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxCAPTION.

75 Displays the frame maximized (Windows only).
76 @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
77 Displays a maximize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
78 @style{wxMINIMIZE}
79 Identical to wxICONIZE.
80 @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
81 Displays a minimize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
82 @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
83 Displays a resizeable border around the window (Motif only; for
84 Windows, it is implicit in wxTHICK_FRAME).

87 @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
88 Displays a system menu (Windows and Motif only).
89 @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}
