+Be careful to use this function and not \helpref{SelectObjectAsSource}{wxmemorydcselectobjectassource}

Selects the given bitmap into the device context, to use as the memory
bitmap. Selecting the bitmap into a memory DC allows you to draw into
-the DC (and therefore the bitmap) and also to use {\bf Blit} to copy
+the DC (and therefore the bitmap) and also to use \helpref{wxDC::Blit}{wxdcblit} to copy
the bitmap to a window. For this purpose, you may find \helpref{wxDC::DrawIcon}{wxdcdrawicon}\rtfsp
easier to use instead.

-context, and the original bitmap restored, allowing the current bitmap to
+If the argument is wxNullBitmap (or some other uninitialised wxBitmap) the current bitmap is
+selected out of the device context, and the original bitmap restored, allowing the current bitmap to
be destroyed safely.
