        any document or view operations.

        @param manager
            The document manager object which manages this template.
        @param descr
            A short description of what the template is for. This string will
            be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
        @param filter
            An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
        @param dir
            The default directory to use for file selectors.
        @param ext
            The default file extension (such as "txt").
        @param docTypeName
            A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for
            gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.

            A name that should be unique for a given view.

            A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
            the CLASSINFO() macro, e.g. CLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is
            not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
            override the CreateDocument() member to return a new document
            instance on demand.
        @param viewClassInfo
            A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the
            CLASSINFO() macro, e.g. CLASSINFO(MyViewClass). If this is not

            A bit list of the following:
            - wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE       - The template may be displayed to the
                                         user in dialogs.

        specified in the @a flags.

        By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
        open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
        empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means

        the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
        typically won't exist.

        Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
        only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
        SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
        document if this number was reached before creating a new document.

            will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
            of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
            @c wxDOC_NEW.
        @param flags
