    \brief Frame classes for MDI document/view applications

    MSW way of having application with one wxFrame and several draggable
    sub windows in that frame is called MDI. In here are the classes to be able to
    connect views and documents into such a GUI.

        Many commands which can be submitted to a commandprocessor in the following manner:
        \code 
        commandprocessor->Submit(  new a2dCommand_SomeCommand() )
        \endcode
        Submitting the command makes it possible to undo the action.
        To issue such a command from a menu requires an Id. Therefore wxDocview defines many predefined
        menus items in the form of a2dMenuIdItem. They produce a unique Id to be handled in 
        the commandprocessor. Like in:
        \code 
        void a2dDocumentCommandProcessor::OnMenu( wxCommandEvent& event )
        \endcode
        Several modules in wxDocview extend, in the derived a2dDocumentCommandProcessor, the set of handled 
        menu Id's. The OnMenu intercepts the menu event, and sets up a new a2dCommand to be submitted.
        Understand that a2dDocumentFrame and a2dDocumentMDIParentFrame already redirect non handled events to
        the commandprocessor of the application.
        An a2dMenuIdItem defined menu text and helpstring, therefore all you need to do to add a command to
        your application is AddCmdMenu().
        Many commands have parameters, and a a2dMenuIdItem its Id, can only be coupled to one a2dCommand with
        some predefined set of parameters.
        If you need a different implementation of the same command you can extend in the same manner
        in your derived commandprocessor. But you can always use the standard way of wxWidgets to add a menu,
        and add a handler in the frame. In the handler setsup the a2dCommand and submits it.
        Exactly the same behaviour, only not predefined.
