+ Inheritance diagram for wxFrame:

Detailed Description

A frame is a window whose size and position can (usually) be changed by the user.

It usually has thick borders and a title bar, and can optionally contain a menu bar, toolbar and status bar. A frame can contain any window that is not a frame or dialog.

A frame that has a status bar and toolbar, created via the CreateStatusBar() and CreateToolBar() functions, manages these windows and adjusts the value returned by GetClientSize() to reflect the remaining size available to application windows.

Remarks
An application should normally define an wxCloseEvent handler for the frame to respond to system close events, for example so that related data and subwindows can be cleaned up.

Default event processing

wxFrame processes the following events:

  • 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;
  • 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.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE:
    Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX | wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxSYSTEM_MENU | wxCAPTION | wxCLOSE_BOX | wxCLIP_CHILDREN.
  • wxICONIZE:
    Display the frame iconized (minimized). Windows only.
  • wxCAPTION:
    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.
  • wxMINIMIZE:
    Identical to wxICONIZE. Windows only.
  • wxMINIMIZE_BOX:
    Displays a minimize box on the frame.
  • wxMAXIMIZE:
    Displays the frame maximized. Windows and GTK+ only.
  • wxMAXIMIZE_BOX:
    Displays a maximize box on the frame. Notice that under wxGTK wxRESIZE_BORDER must be used as well or this style is ignored.
  • wxCLOSE_BOX:
    Displays a close box on the frame.
  • wxSTAY_ON_TOP:
    Stay on top of all other windows, see also wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT.
  • wxSYSTEM_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.
  • wxRESIZE_BORDER:
    Displays a resizable border around the window.
  • wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW:
    Causes a frame with a small title bar to be created; the frame does not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+.
  • 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 the window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
  • 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.
  • wxFRAME_SHAPED:
    Windows with this style are allowed to have their shape changed with the SetShape() method.

The default frame style is for normal, resizable frames. To create a frame which cannot be resized by user, you may use the following combination of styles:

See also the Window Styles.


Extra Styles

This class supports the following extra styles:

  • 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 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 wxMAXIMIZE_BOX or wxMINIMIZE_BOX, so you should use wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE ~ (wxMINIMIZE_BOX | wxMAXIMIZE_BOX) for the frames having this style (the dialogs don't have a minimize or a maximize box by default)
  • wxFRAME_EX_METAL:
    On OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic look. This is an extra style.

Events emitted by this class

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

  • EVT_CLOSE(func):
    Process a wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW event when the frame is being closed by the user or programmatically (see wxWindow::Close). The user may generate this event clicking the close button (typically the 'X' on the top-right of the title bar) if it's present (see the wxCLOSE_BOX style). See wxCloseEvent.
  • EVT_ICONIZE(func):
    Process a wxEVT_ICONIZE event. See wxIconizeEvent.
  • EVT_MENU_OPEN(func):
    A menu is about to be opened. See wxMenuEvent.
  • EVT_MENU_CLOSE(func):
    A menu has been just closed. See wxMenuEvent.
  • EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT(id, func):
    The menu item with the specified id has been highlighted: used to show help prompts in the status bar by wxFrame. See wxMenuEvent.
  • EVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT_ALL(func):
    A menu item has been highlighted, i.e. the currently selected menu item has changed. See wxMenuEvent.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxFrame::wxFrame ( )

Default constructor.

wxFrame::wxFrame ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxString title,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE,
const wxString name = wxFrameNameStr 
)

Constructor, creating the window.

Parameters
parentThe window parent. This may be, and often is, NULL. If it is non-NULL, the frame will be minimized when its parent is minimized and restored when it is restored (although it will still be possible to minimize and restore just this frame itself).
idThe window identifier. It may take a value of -1 to indicate a default value.
titleThe caption to be displayed on the frame's title bar.
posThe window position. The value wxDefaultPosition indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
sizeThe window size. The value wxDefaultSize indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxWidgets, depending on platform.
styleThe window style. See wxFrame class description.
nameThe 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
For Motif, MWM (the Motif Window Manager) should be running for any window styles to work (otherwise all styles take effect).

virtual wxFrame::~wxFrame ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Destroys all child windows and menu bar if present.

See Window Deletion for more info.

Member Function Documentation

void wxFrame::Centre ( int  direction = wxBOTH)

Centres the frame on the display.

Parameters
directionThe parameter may be wxHORIZONTAL, wxVERTICAL or wxBOTH.
bool wxFrame::Create ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxString title,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE,
const wxString name = wxFrameNameStr 
)

Used in two-step frame construction.

See wxFrame() for further details.

virtual wxStatusBar* wxFrame::CreateStatusBar ( int  number = 1,
long  style = wxSTB_DEFAULT_STYLE,
wxWindowID  id = 0,
const wxString name = wxStatusBarNameStr 
)
virtual

Creates a status bar at the bottom of the frame.

Parameters
numberThe number of fields to create. Specify a value greater than 1 to create a multi-field status bar.
styleThe status bar style. See wxStatusBar for a list of valid styles.
idThe status bar window identifier. If -1, an identifier will be chosen by wxWidgets.
nameThe status bar window name.
Returns
A pointer to the status bar if it was created successfully, NULL otherwise.
Remarks
The width of the status bar is the whole width of the frame (adjusted automatically when resizing), and the height and text size are chosen by the host windowing system.

SetStatusText(), OnCreateStatusBar(), GetStatusBar()
virtual wxToolBar* wxFrame::CreateToolBar ( long  style = wxTB_DEFAULT_STYLE,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxString name = wxToolBarNameStr 
)
virtual

Creates a toolbar at the top or left of the frame.

Parameters
styleThe toolbar style. See wxToolBar for a list of valid styles.
idThe toolbar window identifier. If -1, an identifier will be chosen by wxWidgets.
nameThe toolbar window name.
Returns
A pointer to the toolbar if it was created successfully, NULL otherwise.
Remarks
By default, the toolbar is an instance of wxToolBar. To use a different class, override OnCreateToolBar(). When a toolbar has been created with this function, or made known to the frame with wxFrame::SetToolBar(), the frame will manage the toolbar position and adjust the return value from wxWindow::GetClientSize() to reflect the available space for application windows. Under Pocket PC, you should always use this function for creating the toolbar to be managed by the frame, so that wxWidgets can use a combined menubar and toolbar. Where you manage your own toolbars, create a wxToolBar as usual.

CreateStatusBar(), OnCreateToolBar(), SetToolBar(), GetToolBar()
virtual void wxFrame::DoGiveHelp ( const wxString text,
bool  show 
)
virtual

Method used to show help string of the selected menu toolbar item.

This method is called by the default wxEVT_MENU_HIGHLIGHT event handler and also by wxToolBar to show the optional help string associated with the selected menu or toolbar item. It can be overridden if the default behaviour of showing this string in the frame status bar is not appropriate.

Parameters
textThe help string to show, may be empty. The default implementation simply shows this string in the frame status bar (after remembering its previous text to restore it later).
showWhether the help should be shown or hidden. The default implementation restores the previously saved status bar text when it is false.

SetStatusBarPane()
virtual wxPoint wxFrame::GetClientAreaOrigin ( ) const
virtual

Returns the origin of the frame client area (in client coordinates).

It may be different from (0, 0) if the frame has a toolbar.

Reimplemented from wxWindow.

virtual wxMenuBar* wxFrame::GetMenuBar ( ) const
virtual

Returns a pointer to the menubar currently associated with the frame (if any).

CreateToolBar(), wxToolBar, SetToolBar()
wxTaskBarButton* wxFrame::MSWGetTaskBarButton ( )

MSW-specific function for accessing the taskbar button under Windows 7 or later.

Returns a wxTaskBarButton pointer representing the taskbar button of the window under Windows 7 or later. The returned wxTaskBarButton may be used, if non-NULL, to access the functionality including thumbnail representations, thumbnail toolbars, notification and status overlays, and progress indicators.

The returned pointer must not be deleted, it is owned by the frame and will be only deleted when the frame itself is destroyed.

This function is not available in the other ports by design, any occurrences of it in the portable code must be guarded by

#ifdef __WXMSW__

preprocessor guards.

Since
3.1.0
virtual wxStatusBar* wxFrame::OnCreateStatusBar ( int  number,
long  style,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxString name 
)
virtual

Virtual function called when a status bar is requested by CreateStatusBar().

Parameters
numberThe number of fields to create.
styleThe window style. See wxStatusBar for a list of valid styles.
idThe window identifier. If -1, an identifier will be chosen by wxWidgets.
nameThe window name.
Returns
A status bar object.
Remarks
An application can override this function to return a different kind of status bar. The default implementation returns an instance of wxStatusBar.
See also
CreateStatusBar(), wxStatusBar.
virtual wxToolBar* wxFrame::OnCreateToolBar ( long  style,
wxWindowID  id,
const wxString name 
)
virtual

Virtual function called when a toolbar is requested by CreateToolBar().

Parameters
styleThe toolbar style. See wxToolBar for a list of valid styles.
idThe toolbar window identifier. If -1, an identifier will be chosen by wxWidgets.
nameThe toolbar window name.
Returns
A toolbar object.
Remarks
An application can override this function to return a different kind of toolbar. The default implementation returns an instance of wxToolBar.
See also
CreateToolBar(), wxToolBar.
void wxFrame::PopStatusText ( int  number = 0)
bool wxFrame::ProcessCommand ( int  id)

Simulate a menu command.

Parameters
idThe identifier for a menu item.
void wxFrame::PushStatusText ( const wxString text,
int  number = 0 
)
virtual void wxFrame::SetMenuBar ( wxMenuBar menuBar)
virtual

Tells the frame to show the given menu bar.

Parameters
menuBarThe menu bar to associate with the frame.
Remarks
If the frame is destroyed, the menu bar and its menus will be destroyed also, so do not delete the menu bar explicitly (except by resetting the frame's menu bar to another frame or NULL). Under Windows, a size event is generated, so be sure to initialize data members properly before calling SetMenuBar(). Note that on some platforms, it is not possible to call this function twice for the same frame object.
See also
GetMenuBar(), wxMenuBar, wxMenu.
virtual void wxFrame::SetStatusBar ( wxStatusBar statusBar)
virtual

Associates a status bar with the frame.

If statusBar is NULL, then the status bar, if present, is detached from the frame, but not deleted.

See also
CreateStatusBar(), wxStatusBar, GetStatusBar()
void wxFrame::SetStatusBarPane ( int  n)

Set the status bar pane used to display menu and toolbar help.

Using -1 disables help display.

virtual void wxFrame::SetStatusText ( const wxString text,
int  number = 0 
)
virtual

Sets the status bar text and redraws the status bar.

Parameters
textThe text for the status field.
numberThe status field (starting from zero).
Remarks
Use an empty string to clear the status bar.
See also
CreateStatusBar(), wxStatusBar
virtual void wxFrame::SetStatusWidths ( int  n,
const int *  widths_field 
)
virtual

Sets the widths of the fields in the status bar.

Parameters
nThe number of fields in the status bar. It must be the same used in CreateStatusBar.
widths_fieldMust contain an array of n integers, each of which is a status field width in pixels. A value of -1 indicates that the field is variable width; at least one field must be -1. You should delete this array after calling SetStatusWidths().
Remarks
The widths of the variable fields are calculated from the total width of all fields, minus the sum of widths of the non-variable fields, divided by the number of variable fields.

wxPerl Note: In wxPerl this method takes the field widths as parameters.

virtual void wxFrame::SetToolBar ( wxToolBar toolBar)
virtual

Associates a toolbar with the frame.
