11 @class wxGenericAboutDialog
12
13 This class defines a customizable @e About dialog.
14
15 Note that if you don't need customization, you should use the global
16 wxAboutBox() function that is both easier to use and shows the native
17 dialog if available.
18
19 To use this class, you need to derive your own class from it and override
20 the virtual method DoAddCustomControls().
21
22 To instantiate an object from your wxGenericAboutDialog-based class, you
23 can use either the default constructor followed by a call to Create(), or
24 directly using the alternate constructor. In either case, you have to
25 prepare a wxAboutDialogInfo containing standard informations to display in
26 an about-box.
27
28 Example of usage, MyAboutDlg being a class derived from wxGenericAboutDialog:
29 @code
30 void MyFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
31 {
32 wxAboutDialogInfo aboutInfo;
33
34 aboutInfo.SetName("MyApp");
35 aboutInfo.SetVersion(MY_APP_VERSION_STRING);
36 aboutInfo.SetDescription(_("My wxWidgets-based application!"));
37 aboutInfo.SetCopyright("(C) 1992-2012");
38 aboutInfo.SetWebSite("http://myapp.org");
39 aboutInfo.AddDeveloper("My Self");
40
41 MyAboutDlg dlgAbout(aboutInfo, this);
42 dlgAbout.ShowModal();
43 }
44 @endcode
