@class wxFrame

A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user.
data and subwindows can be cleaned up.
- @section wxframe_defaultevent Default event processing
+ @section frame_defaultevent Default event processing
wxFrame processes the following events:
@li @c wxEVT_SIZE: 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 sizers;
+ by manually handling @c wxEVT_SIZE or using sizers;
@li @c wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT: the default implementation displays the help string
associated with the selected item in the first pane of the status bar, if there is one.
@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}
Displays a minimize box on the frame.
@style{wxMAXIMIZE}
- Displays the frame maximized. Windows only.
+ 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.

+ 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

+ wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE & ~(wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX)
@endcode
See also the @ref overview_windowstyles.
@style{wxFRAME_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
- will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
+ will send a @c wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
construction). You cannot use this style together with
look. This is an extra style.
