	3	wxTextDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObject for text data. It can be
	4	used without change to paste data into the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}
	5	or a \helpref{wxDropSource}{wxdropsource}. A user may wish to derive a new
	6	class from this class for providing text on-demand in order to minimize memory
	7	consumption when offering data in several formats, such as plain text and RTF
	8	because by default the text is stored in a string in this class, but it might
	9	as well be generated when requested. For this,
	10	\helpref{GetTextLength}{wxtextdataobjectgettextlength} and
	11	\helpref{GetText}{wxtextdataobjectgettext} will have to be overridden.
	12
	13	Note that if you already have the text inside a string, you will not achieve
	14	any efficiency gain by overriding these functions because copying wxStrings is
	15	already a very efficient operation (data is not actually copied because
	16	wxStrings are reference counted).
	17
	18	\pythonnote{If you wish to create a derived wxTextDataObject class in
	19	wxPython you should derive the class from wxPyTextDataObject
	20	in order to get Python-aware capabilities for the various virtual
	21	methods.}

	24
	25	This class may be used as is, but all of the data transfer functions may be
	26	overridden to increase efficiency.

	49	\func{}{wxTextDataObject}{\param{const wxString\& }{text = wxEmptyString}}
	50
	51	Constructor, may be used to initialise the text (otherwise
	52	\helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext} should be used later).
	53
	54	\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetTextLength}\label{wxtextdataobjectgettextlength}
	55
	56	\constfunc{virtual size\_t}{GetTextLength}{\void}
	57
	58	Returns the data size. By default, returns the size of the text data
	59	set in the constructor or using \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext}.
	60	This can be overridden to provide text size data on-demand. It is recommended
	61	to return the text length plus 1 for a trailing zero, but this is not
	62	strictly required.
	63
	64	\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectgettext}
	65
	66	\constfunc{virtual wxString}{GetText}{\void}
	67
	68	Returns the text associated with the data object. You may wish to override
	69	this method when offering data on-demand, but this is not required by
	70	wxWindows' internals. Use this method to get data in text form from
	71	the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}.
	72
	73	\membersection{wxTextDataObject::SetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectsettext}
	74
	75	\func{virtual void}{SetText}{\param{const wxString\& }{strText}}
	76
	77	Sets the text associated with the data object. This method is called
	78	when the data object receives the data and, by default, copies the text into
	79	the member variable. If you want to process the text on the fly you may wish to
	80	override this function.
