    @class wxMDIParentFrame

    An MDI (Multiple Document Interface) parent frame is a window which can contain
    MDI child frames in its own 'desktop'. It is a convenient way to avoid window
    clutter,
    and is used in many popular Windows applications, such as Microsoft Word(TM).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCAPTION}:
           Puts a caption on the frame.
    @style{wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE}:
           Defined as wxMINIMIZE_BOX |  wxMAXIMIZE_BOX |  wxTHICK_FRAME |
           wxSYSTEM_MENU |  wxCAPTION.
    @style{wxHSCROLL}:
           Displays a horizontal scrollbar in the client window, allowing the
           user to view child frames that are off the current view.
    @style{wxICONIZE}:
           Display the frame iconized (minimized) (Windows only).
    @style{wxMAXIMIZE}:
           Displays the frame maximized (Windows only).
    @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}:
           Displays a maximize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
    @style{wxMINIMIZE}:
           Identical to wxICONIZE.
    @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}:
           Displays a minimize box on the frame (Windows and Motif only).
    @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}:
           Displays a resizeable border around the window (Motif only; for
           Windows, it is implicit in wxTHICK_FRAME).
    @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}:
           Stay on top of other windows (Windows only).
    @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}:
           Displays a system menu (Windows and Motif only).
    @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}:
           Displays a thick frame around the window (Windows and Motif only).
    @style{wxVSCROLL}:
           Displays a vertical scrollbar in the client window, allowing the
           user to view child frames that are off the current view.
    @style{wxFRAME_NO_WINDOW_MENU}:
           Under Windows, removes the Window menu that is normally added
           automatically.
