Primary Window Components

A typical primary window consists of a frame (or border) which defines its extent, and a title bar which identifies what is being viewed in the window. If the viewable content of the window exceeds the current size of the window, scroll bars are used. The window can also include other components like menu bars, toolbars, and status bars.

Figure 6.1 shows the common components of a primary window.
