Here is how you would typically use this class:
// create an entry in subgroup
conf->Write("SubgroupEntry", 3);
-
+
// '..' is understood
conf->Write("../GroupEntry", 2);
conf->SetPath("..");
void bar(wxConfigBase *config)
{
config->Write("Test", 17);
-
+
foo(config);
// we're reading "/Foo/Data/Test" here! -1 will probably be returned...

+\membersection{Rename entries/groups}
+
+The functions in this section allow to rename entries or subgroups of the

+entry/group with the original name doesn't exist, because the entry/group with
+the new name already exists or because the function is not supported in this
+wxConfig implementation.

\membersection{Delete entries/groups}
The functions in this section delete entries and/or groups of entries from the
a local or global config file is created or used. If the flag is present but
the parameter is empty, the parameter will be set to a default. If the
parameter is present but the style flag not, the relevant flag will be added
-to the style.}
+to the style. For wxFileConfig you can also add wxCONFIG\_USE\_RELATIVE\_PATH
+by logicaly or'ing it to either of the _FILE options to tell wxFileConfig to
+use relative instead of absolute paths. }
\wxheading{Remarks}
Returns the application name.
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetEntryType}\label{wxconfigbasegetentrytype}
+
+\constfunc{enum wxConfigBase::EntryType}{GetEntryType}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
+
+Returns the type of the given entry or {\it Unknown} if the entry doesn't
+exist. This function should be used to decide which version of Read() should
+be used because some of wxConfig implementations will complain about type
+mismatch otherwise: e.g., an attempt to read a string value from an integer
+key with wxRegConfig will fail.
+
+The result is an element of enum EntryType:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum EntryType
+ {
+ Unknown,
+ String,
+ Boolean,
+ Integer,
+ Float
+ };
+\end{verbatim}

\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetFirstGroup}\label{wxconfigbasegetfirstgroup}
\constfunc{bool}{GetFirstGroup}{\param{wxString\& }{str}, \param{long\&}{
Gets the first group.
+\pythonnote{The wxPython version of this method returns a 3-tuple
+consisting of the continue flag, the value string, and the index for
+the next call.}
+
\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetFirstEntry}\label{wxconfigbasegetfirstentry}
\constfunc{bool}{GetFirstEntry}{\param{wxString\& }{str}, \param{long\&}{

\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetNumberOfEntries}\label{wxconfigbasegetnumberofentries}
\constfunc{uint }{GetNumberOfEntries}{\param{bool }{bRecursive = FALSE}}
Reads a bool value, returning TRUE if the value was found. If the value was
not found, {\it defaultVal} is used instead.
+\pythonnote{In place of a single overloaded method name, wxPython
+implements the following methods:\par
+\indented{2cm}{\begin{twocollist}
+\twocolitem{\bf{Read(key, default="")}}{Returns a string.}
+\twocolitem{\bf{ReadInt(key, default=0)}}{Returns an int.}

+\end{twocollist}}
+}
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::RenameEntry}\label{wxconfigbaserenameentry}
+
+\func{bool}{RenameEntry}{\param{const wxString\& }{ oldName}, \param{const wxString\& }{ newName}}
+
+Renames an entry in the current group. The entries names (both the old and
+the new one) shouldn't contain backslashes, i.e. only simple names and not
+arbitrary paths are accepted by this function.
+
+Returns FALSE if the {\it oldName} doesn't exist or if {\it newName} already
+exists.
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::RenameGroup}\label{wxconfigbaserenamegroup}
+
+\func{bool}{RenameGroup}{\param{const wxString\& }{ oldName}, \param{const wxString\& }{ newName}}
+
+Renames a subgroup of the current group. The subgroup names (both the old and
+the new one) shouldn't contain backslashes, i.e. only simple names and not
+arbitrary paths are accepted by this function.
+
+Returns FALSE if the {\it oldName} doesn't exist or if {\it newName} already
+exists.
+
\membersection{wxConfigBase::Set}\label{wxconfigbaseset}
\func{wxConfigBase *}{Set}{\param{wxConfigBase *}{pConfig}}
Sets the config object as the current one, returns the pointer to the previous
current object (both the parameter and returned value may be NULL)
-\membersection{wxConfigBase::SetAppName}\label{wxconfigbasesetappname}
-
-\func{void }{SetAppName}{\param{const wxString\&}{ appName}}
-
-Sets the application name.
-
\membersection{wxConfigBase::SetExpandingEnvVars}\label{wxconfigbasesetexpandingenvvars}
\func{void}{SetExpandEnvVars }{\param{bool }{bDoIt = TRUE}}
This allows the user to see what config options may be changed and is probably
useful only for wxFileConfig.
-\membersection{wxConfigBase::SetVendorName}\label{wxconfigbasesetvendorname}
-
-\func{void}{SetVendorName}{\param{const wxString\&}{ vendorName}}
-
-Sets the vendor name.
-
\membersection{wxConfigBase::Write}\label{wxconfigbasewrite}
\func{bool}{Write}{\param{const wxString\& }{ key}, \param{const wxString\& }{
These functions write the specified value to the config file and return TRUE
on success.
