which support it or its replacement for those that don't. It must be used to

-Used inside a class declaration to declare that the objects of this class should be dynamically

+Used inside a class declaration to make the class known to wxWidgets RTTI
+system and also declare that the objects of this class should be dynamically
+creatable from run-time type information. Notice that this implies that the
+class should have a default constructor, if this is not the case consider using
+\helpref{DECLARE\_CLASS}{declareclass}.
Example:
\helpref{RTTI overview}{runtimeclassoverview}\\
\helpref{wxDynamicCastThis}{wxdynamiccastthis}\\
\helpref{wxConstCast}{wxconstcast}\\
-\helpref{wxStatiicCast}{wxstaticcast}

For all normal, informational messages. They also appear in a message box by

-show informational messages if there are any errors later - the logic being
-that the later error messages make the informational messages preceding them
-meaningless.

This function is called whenever one of debugging macros fails (i.e. condition
is false in an assertion). It is only defined in the debug mode, in release
To override the default behaviour in the debug builds which is to show the user
a dialog asking whether he wants to abort the program, continue or continue
ignoring any subsequent assert failures, you may override
-\helpref{wxApp::OnAssert}{wxapponassert} which is called by this function if
+\helpref{wxApp::OnAssertFailure}{wxapponassertfailure} which is called by this function if
the global application object exists.
{\it value} may be {\tt NULL} if you just want to know if the variable exists
and are not interested in its value.
-Returns {\tt true} if the variable exists, {\tt false} otherwise.
+Returns \true if the variable exists, \false otherwise.
\membersection{wxSetEnv}\label{wxsetenv}
Sets the value of the environment variable {\it var} (adding it if necessary)
to {\it value}.
-Returns {\tt true} on success.
+Returns \true on success.
\membersection{wxUnsetEnv}\label{wxunsetenv}
\helpref{wxGetEnv}{wxgetenv} will return {\tt NULL} after the call to this
function.
-Returns {\tt true} on success.
-
+Returns \true on success.
