The "read\_write" mode may not work: it isn't completely finished.
+You can create "memory" streams by this way:

+\func{}{wxStreamBuffer}{\param{const wxStreamBuffer\&}{buffer}}
Constructor. It initializes the stream buffer with the data of the specified
stream buffer. The new stream buffer is nearly exactly the same as the
operating. It is advised to use this feature only in very local area of the
program.

-This function is only useful in \it{read} mode. It is the manager of the "Write-Back"
-buffer. This buffer acts like a temporary buffer where datas which has to be
-read during the next read IO call are put. This is useful when you get a big
