	3	{\bf Please note} that this class is retained for backward compatibility
	4	reasons; you should use \helpref{wxHashMap}{wxhashmap}.
	5
	6	This class provides hash table functionality for wxWindows, and for an
	7	application if it wishes. Data can be hashed on an integer or string
	8	key.

	18	\wxheading{Example}
	19
	20	Below is an example of using a hash table.
	21
	22	\begin{verbatim}
	23	wxHashTable table(KEY_STRING);
	24
	25	wxPoint *point = new wxPoint(100, 200);
	26	table.Put("point 1", point);
	27
	28	....
	29
	30	wxPoint found_point = (wxPoint )table.Get("point 1");
	31	\end{verbatim}
	32
	33	A hash table is implemented as an array of pointers to lists. When no
	34	data has been stored, the hash table takes only a little more space than
	35	this array (default size is 1000). When a data item is added, an
	36	integer is constructed from the integer or string key that is within the
	37	bounds of the array. If the array element is NULL, a new (keyed) list is
	38	created for the element. Then the data object is appended to the list,
	39	storing the key in case other data objects need to be stored in the list
	40	also (when a `collision' occurs).
	41
	42	Retrieval involves recalculating the array index from the key, and searching
	43	along the keyed list for the data object whose stored key matches the passed
	44	key. Obviously this is quicker when there are fewer collisions, so hashing
	45	will become inefficient if the number of items to be stored greatly exceeds
	46	the size of the hash table.

	54	\membersection{wxHashTable::wxHashTable}
	55
	56	\func{}{wxHashTable}{\param{unsigned int}{ key\_type}, \param{int}{ size = 1000}}
	57
	58	Constructor. {\it key\_type} is one of wxKEY\_INTEGER, or wxKEY\_STRING,
	59	and indicates what sort of keying is required. {\it size} is optional.
	60
	61	\membersection{wxHashTable::\destruct{wxHashTable}}
	62
	63	\func{}{\destruct{wxHashTable}}{\void}
	64
	65	Destroys the hash table.
	66
	67	\membersection{wxHashTable::BeginFind}
	68
	69	\func{void}{BeginFind}{\void}
	70
	71	The counterpart of {\it Next}. If the application wishes to iterate
	72	through all the data in the hash table, it can call {\it BeginFind} and
	73	then loop on {\it Next}.
	74
	75	\membersection{wxHashTable::Clear}
	76
	77	\func{void}{Clear}{\void}
	78
	79	Clears the hash table of all nodes (but as usual, doesn't delete user data).
	80
	81	\membersection{wxHashTable::Delete}
	82
	83	\func{wxObject *}{Delete}{\param{long}{ key}}
	84
	85	\func{wxObject *}{Delete}{\param{const wxString\& }{ key}}
	86
	87	Deletes entry in hash table and returns the user's data (if found).
	88
	89	\membersection{wxHashTable::DeleteContents}
	90
	91	\func{void}{DeleteContents}{\param{bool}{ flag}}
	92
	93	If set to TRUE data stored in hash table will be deleted when hash table object
	94	is destroyed.
	95
	96
	97	\membersection{wxHashTable::Get}
	98
	99	\func{wxObject *}{Get}{\param{long}{ key}}
	100
	101	\func{wxObject }{Get}{\param{const char}{ key}}
	102
	103	Gets data from the hash table, using an integer or string key (depending on which
	104	has table constructor was used).
	105
	106	\membersection{wxHashTable::MakeKey}
	107
	108	\func{long}{MakeKey}{\param{const wxString\& }{string}}
	109
	110	Makes an integer key out of a string. An application may wish to make a key
	111	explicitly (for instance when combining two data values to form a key).
	112
	113	\membersection{wxHashTable::Next}
	114
	115	\func{wxNode *}{Next}{\void}
	116
	117	If the application wishes to iterate through all the data in the hash
	118	table, it can call {\it BeginFind} and then loop on {\it Next}. This function
	119	returns a {\bf wxNode} pointer (or NULL if there are no more nodes). See the
	120	description for \helpref{wxNode}{wxnode}. The user will probably only wish to use the
	121	{\bf wxNode::Data} function to retrieve the data; the node may also be deleted.
	122
	123	\membersection{wxHashTable::Put}
	124
	125	\func{void}{Put}{\param{long}{ key}, \param{wxObject *}{object}}
	126
	127	\func{void}{Put}{\param{const char}{ key}, \param{wxObject }{object}}
	128
	129	Inserts data into the hash table, using an integer or string key (depending on which
	130	has table constructor was used). The key string is copied and stored by the hash
	131	table implementation.
	132
	133	\membersection{wxHashTable::GetCount}
	134
	135	\constfunc{size\_t}{GetCount}{\void}
	136
	137	Returns the number of elements in the hash table.
