Window Class Constants

Header: MacWindows.h

enum {};

Constant descriptions

The WindowClass constants categorize windows into groups of like types. The grouping of windows facilitates the appropriate display (that is, both the look and the front-to-back ordering) and tracking of windows.

You can define a window’s class using the function CreateNewWindow and obtain a window’s class using the function GetWindowClass. However, a window’s class cannot be altered once the window has been created.

Note that the ordering of the constants in the WindowClass enumeration reflects the window classes’ relative front-to-back display order.
