wx:frame%

    Superclass:  wx:window%

A frame is a window which contains subwindows of various kinds. It has a title bar, an optional menu bar, an optional status line, and an optional tool bar. A frame may contain as subwindows  wx:canvas% object,  wx:panel% objects, and and  wx:text-window% objects.

Under Windows, both Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Single Document Interface (SDI) frames are supported. The handling of a toolbar is special in the MDI case: if you wish to have a tool bar on an MDI parent frame, create the tool bar as normal (as a child of the MDI frame), set the appropriate height for it, and call set-tool-bar; the tool bar will then be managed automatically.

• (make-object wx:frame% parent title x y width height style name) ->  wx:frame% object
      parent :  wx:frame% object or null
      title : string or null
      x = -1 : small integer
      y = -1 : small integer
      width = -1 : small integer
      height = -1 : small integer
      style = (bitwise-or wx:const-sdi wx:const-default-frame) : small integer
      name = "frame" : string

  The parent parameter can be null or an existing frame; if an existing frame is used under Windows, the child frame is always on top of the parent, and will be iconized when the parent is iconized.

  If title is not null, it is used as the dialog box title; otherwise, a default title is used.

  The style argument may be a bitwise combination of the following:

  •  wx:const-iconize or  wx:const-minimize -- displays the frame initially iconized (Windows)
  •  wx:const-caption -- puts a caption on the frame (Windows)
  •  wx:const-mdi-child -- creates the frame as a MDI (multiple document interface) child frame (Windows)
  •  wx:const-mdi-parent -- creates the frame as a MDI (multiple document interface) parent frame (Windows)
  •  wx:const-minimize-box -- displays a minimize box on the frame (Windows, X Windows Motif)
  •  wx:const-maximize -- displays the frame initially maximized (Windows)
  •  wx:const-maximize-box -- displays a maximize box on the frame (Windows, X Windows Motif)
  •  wx:const-sdi -- creates the frame as a normal SDI (single document interface) frame
  •  wx:const-stay-on-top -- the frame stays on top of other windows (Windows)
  •  wx:const-system-menu -- displays a system menu (Windows, X Windows Motif)
  •  wx:const-thick-frame -- displays a thick frame around the window (Windows, X Windows Motif)
  •  wx:const-resize-border -- displays a resizeable border around the window (X Windows Motif) or grow box in the bottom right corner (MacOS)
  •  wx:const-tiny-caption-horiz -- displays a small horizontal caption; use instead of wx:const-caption (Windows)
  •  wx:const-tiny-caption-vert -- displays a small vertical; use instead of wx:const-caption (Windows)
  •  wx:const-allow-auto-resize -- lets the frame automatically resize when controls added to a frame's panel need more space (X Windows Motif)

  The flag value  wx:const-default-frame is defined as (bitwise-or wx:const-minimize-box wx:const-maximize-box wx:const-resize-border wx:const-thick-frame wx:const-system-menu wx:const-caption).

  The name argument is used to associate a name with the frame, allowing the application user to set X Windows resource values for each individual frame.
