-A classification of wxWindows classes by category.
+A classification of wxWidgets classes by category.
{\large {\bf Managed windows}}
There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the
window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager).
-Frames may contain windows, and dialog boxes may directly contain controls.
+Frames and dialogs are similar in wxWidgets, but only dialogs may be modal.
