/****************************************************************************
PARAMETERS:
cls     - The String name of the class
parms   - an optional parameter string to pass off to the child class

RETURNS:
The string value of the variable

REMARKS:
To grab a value from any class which is derived from this one simple use this
static function and the name of the derived class to get the value.
This static function is the only function implemented in this base class
basically this is provided for an easier method of grabbing a variable. We
keep all the dynamic object handling in this class to avoid confusing the source
where these are used.

#undef ECHO_PARM
/****************************************************************************
RETURNS:
The value of the parameter string from the HTML parm= field

REMARKS:
This is a macro to retrieve the parameter string passed in the parm= field.
Use this macro to get the correct variable within a BEGIN_ECHO_VARIABLE and
END_ECHO_VARIABLE block.

#undef BEGIN_ECHO_VARIABLE
/****************************************************************************
PARAMETERS:
name    - The name of the variable to create

REMARKS:
This macro is used to create variables for use by the #echo directive
the HTML preprocessor.
To create a new variable include the code necessary to get the value of the
variable between a block of BEGIN_ECHO_VARIABLE and END_ECHO_VARIABLE macros.
Use the ECHO_PARM macro to grab the optional parameter string passed from the
'parm=' field in the html file.

EXAMPLE:
BEGIN_ECHO_VARIABLE(UserName)
	// Get username from nucleus
	wxString tmp = GA_GetUserName();
END_ECHO_VARIABLE(UserName, tmp)

PARAMETERS:
name        - The name of the variable to end

REMARKS:
This macro is used to create variables for use by the #echo directive

To create a new variable include the code necessary to get the value of the
variable between a block of BEGIN_ECHO_VARIABLE and END_ECHO_VARIABLE macros.

/****************************************************************************
PARAMETERS:
name        - The name of the variable
returnval   - String to return as the value of the variable

REMARKS:
This macro is used to create constant string variables for use by the #echo
directive in the HTML preprocessor.
This MACRO creates a variable that simply returns the given string and is
not modifiable.
