\section{\class{wxObjectDataPtr<T>}}\label{wxobjectdataptr}

This is helper template class to avoid memleaks because of missing calls
to \helpref{wxObjectRefData::DecRef}{wxobjectrefdatadecref}.

Despite the name this template can actually be used for any
class implementing the reference counting interface and it
does not use or depend on wxObject.

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::wxObjectDataPtr<T>}\label{wxobjectdataptrwxobjectdataptr}

\func{wxEXPLICIT}{wxObjectDataPtr<T>}{\param{T* }{ptr = NULL}}

Constructor. {\it ptr} is a pointer to the reference
counted object to which this class points.

\func{}{wxObjectDataPtr<T>}{\param{const wxObjectDataPtr<T>\& }{tocopy}}

This copy constructor increases the count of the reference
counted object to which {\it tocopy} points and then this
class will point to, as well.

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::\destruct{wxObjectDataPtr<T>}}\label{wxobjectdataptrdtor}

\func{}{\destruct{wxObjectDataPtr<T>}}{\void}

Calls \helpref{DecRef}{wxobjectrefdatadecref} on the reference
counted object to which this class points.

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::operator->}\label{wxobjectdataptroperatorpointer}

\constfunc{T*}{operator->}{\void}

Gets a pointer to the reference counted object to which
this class points. Same as \helpref{get}{wxobjectdataptrget}.

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::operator=}\label{wxobjectdataptroperatorassign}

\func{wxObjectDataPtr<T>\& operator}{operator=}{\param{const wxObjectDataPtr<T>\& }{tocopy}}

\func{wxObjectDataPtr<T>\& operator}{operator=}{\param{T* }{ptr}}

Assignment operators.

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::get}\label{wxobjectdataptrget}

\constfunc{T*}{get}{\void}

Gets a pointer to the reference counted object to which
this class points.

\membersection{wxObjectDataPtr<T>::reset}\label{wxobjectdataptrreset}

\func{void}{reset}{\param{T* }{ptr}}

Reset this class to {\it ptr} which points to a reference
counted object.
