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, and an optional status line. 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.

• (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-ior 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-ior 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)
  (Use 0 for no flags.)

  The flag value wx:const-default-frame is defined as (bitwise-ior 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.
