Detailed Description

Child Frame API functions.

Child Frames are child windows that display a tab in the Frame window, and have specialized menus and menu handlers associated with them.
The Child Frame also provides for horizontal and vertical scrolling of the display surface, as needed, varying the display region.
A derived window will need to register the appropriate callbacks, and have the 'WBChildFrame' structure as the first member of its own structure. When the derived window creates the structure, it must initialize its own structure first, and then call FWInitChildFrame() to complete the process. And when the drived window is destroyed, it must call FWDestroyChildFrame() to complete the 'destruction' process.
The behavior of a Child Frame is like a 'base class' in C++, with a kind of polymorphism and abstraction used by the containing WBFrameWindow to manage focus, tabs, and layout changes.
The Child Frame then handles scrolling and 'menu change on focus change', so that each type of Child Frame can have its own menu. The Frame Window will change the displayed menu according to the Child Frame that has the current focus, and display a default menu when there is no Child Frame.
A derived Child Frame maintains its own data as well as handling events. So, rather than abstracting the data from the Child Frame, this toolkit combines them (as it is simpler to do so). If you need extra levels of abstraction, just create more 'derived' versions from your own designs, and abstract the 'next level up'.
