-====== The Window Classes ======
-The //class// of a window determines its most crucial features, e.g. if it displays text, if the user can enter text, if it shows a value as a slider control, if it presents a list of items to select from, etc.
-This section presents the window classes that are available for use in a ''cgui'' script.
-===== windowClass =====
-This is the most commonly used, general-purpose, all-in-one window class.
-It displays a given text in a rectangular box, whose features are widely configurable via the predefined, built-in [[guisys:predefined_methods|methods]].
-===== editClass =====
-This class has all the features of a ''windowClass'' window, but additionally allows the user to edit the text (enter new text, delete text, etc.).
-Optionally, a blinking text cursor is rendered to indicate the current key input position (FIXME This is not yet implemented).
-Note that as with any other window, keyboard input is only received and processed if the window has the keyboard input focus.
-Therefore, you may want use the ''gui:setFocus(myEditWin);'' method in order to set the keyboard input from a script.
-===== ...Class =====
-Other special-purpose window classes have not yet been implemented, but will be added as soon as there is need for them.
