Window styles

wxICONIZE	Display the frame iconized (minimized) (Windows only).
wxCAPTION	Puts a caption on the frame.
wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE	Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX || wxMAXIMIZE_BOX || wxTHICK_FRAME || wxSYSTEM_MENU || wxCAPTION || wxCLOSE_BOX.
wxMINIMIZE	Identical to wxICONIZE.
wxMINIMIZE_BOX	Displays a minimize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
wxMAXIMIZE	Displays the frame maximized (Windows only).
wxMAXIMIZE_BOX	Displays a maximize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
wxCLOSE_BOX	Displays a close box on the frame.
wxSTAY_ON_TOP	Stay on top of other windows (Windows only).
wxSYSTEM_MENU	Displays a system menu (Windows and Motif only).
wxTHICK_FRAME	Displays a thick frame around the window (Windows and Motif only).
wxTINY_CAPTION_HORIZ	This style is obsolete and not used any longer.
wxTINY_CAPTION_VERT	This style is obsolete and not used any longer.
wxRESIZE_BORDER	Displays a resizeable border around the window (Motif only; for Windows, it is implicit in wxTHICK_FRAME).

See also window styles overview. Note that all the window styles above are ignored under GTK and the mini frame cannot be resized by the user.

Remarks

This class has miniframe functionality under Windows and GTK, i.e. the presence of mini frame will not be noted in the task bar and focus behaviour is different. On other platforms, it behaves like a normal frame.

wxMiniFrame::wxMiniFrame

wxMiniFrame(void)

Default constructor.

wxMiniFrame(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, long style = wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, const wxString& name = ``frame")

Constructor, creating the window.

Parameters

parent

The window parent. This may be NULL. If it is non-NULL, the frame will always be displayed on top of the parent window on Windows.

id

The window identifier. It may take a value of -1 to indicate a default value.

title

The caption to be displayed on the frame's title bar.

pos

The window position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.

size

The window size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.

style

The window style. See wxMiniFrame.

name

The name of the window. This parameter is used to associate a name with the item, allowing the application user to set Motif resource values for individual windows.

Remarks

The frame behaves like a normal frame on non-Windows platforms.

wxMiniFrame::Create

bool Create(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& title, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, long style = wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, const wxString& name = ``frame")

Used in two-step frame construction. See wxMiniFrame::wxMiniFrame for further details.
