@style{wxICONIZE}
Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only.
@style{wxCAPTION}
- Puts a caption on the frame.
+ Puts a caption on the frame. Notice that this flag is required by
+ wxMINIMIZE_BOX, wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX on most systems as
+ the corresponding buttons cannot be shown if the window has no title
+ bar at all. I.e. if wxCAPTION is not specified those styles would be
+ simply ignored.
@style{wxMINIMIZE}
Identical to wxICONIZE. Windows only.
@style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
@style{wxMAXIMIZE}
Displays the frame maximized. Windows and GTK+ only.
@style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
- Displays a maximize box on the frame.
+ Displays a maximize box on the frame. Notice that under wxGTK
+ wxRESIZE_BORDER must be used as well or this style is ignored.
@style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
Displays a close box on the frame.
@style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT.
@style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
- Displays a system menu.
+ Displays a system menu containing the list of various windows
+ commands in the window title bar. Unlike wxMINIMIZE_BOX,
+ wxMAXIMIZE_BOX and wxCLOSE_BOX styles this style can be used without
+ wxCAPTION, at least under Windows, and makes the system menu
+ available without showing it on screen in this case. However it is
+ recommended to only use it together with wxCAPTION for consistent
+ behaviour under all platforms.
@style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
Displays a resizeable border around the window.
@style{wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW}
- Causes a frame with a small titlebar to be created; the frame does
+ Causes a frame with a small title bar to be created; the frame does
not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+.
@style{wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR}
Creates an otherwise normal frame but it does not appear in the
taskbar under Windows or GTK+ (note that it will minimize to the
desktop window under Windows which may seem strange to the users
and thus it might be better to use this style only without
- wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if GTK+
- is at least version 2.2 and the window manager supports
- _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint. Has no effect under other platforms.
+ wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if the
+ window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
@style{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.
@style{wxFRAME_SHAPED}
- Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed
+ Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed
with the SetShape() method.
