11 wxVector<T> is a template class which implements most of the @c std::vector
12 class and can be used like it.
13
14 If wxWidgets is compiled in STL mode, wxVector will just be a typedef to
15 @c std::vector. Just like for @c std::vector, objects stored in wxVector<T>
16 need to be @e assignable but don't have to be @e "default constructible".
17
18 Please refer to the STL documentation for further information.
