51 wxTreeItemData is some (arbitrary) user class associated with some item. The
52 main advantage of having this class is that wxTreeItemData objects are
53 destroyed automatically by the tree and, as this class has virtual
54 destructor, it means that the memory and any other resources associated with
55 a tree item will be automatically freed when it is deleted. Note that we
56 don't use wxObject as the base class for wxTreeItemData because the size of
57 this class is critical: in many applications, each tree leaf will have
58 wxTreeItemData associated with it and the number of leaves may be quite big.
59
60 Also please note that because the objects of this class are deleted by the
61 tree using the operator @c delete, they must always be allocated on the heap
62 using @c new.
