This page contains a summarized listing of classes, please see the Class List by Category page for a full listing by category or the full list of classes in alphabetical order.

# Basic Windows

The following are the most important window classes

# Window Layout

There are two different systems for laying out windows (and dialogs in particular). One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the other is based on so-called constraints and is deprecated, though still available.
