This macro defines a new array class named {\it name} and containing the
-elements of type {\it T}. Example:
+elements of type {\it T}. The second form is used when compiling DLL
+under Windows and array needs to be visible outside the DLL.
+Example:
\begin{verbatim}
WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(int, wxArrayInt);
\func{}{WX\_DEFINE\_SORTED\_ARRAY}{\param{}{T}, \param{}{name}}
+\func{}{WX\_DEFINE\_SORTED\_EXPORTED\_ARRAY}{\param{}{T}, \param{}{name}}
+
This macro defines a new sorted array class named {\it name} and containing
-the elements of type {\it T}. Example:
+the elements of type {\it T}. The second form is used when compiling DLL
+under Windows and array needs to be visible outside the DLL.
+
+
+Example:
\begin{verbatim}
WX_DEFINE_SORTED_ARRAY(int, wxSortedArrayInt);
\func{}{WX\_DECLARE\_OBJARRAY}{\param{}{T}, \param{}{name}}
+\func{}{WX\_DECLARE\_EXPORTED\_OBJARRAY}{\param{}{T}, \param{}{name}}
+
This macro declares a new object array class named {\it name} and containing
-the elements of type {\it T}. Example:
+the elements of type {\it T}. The second form is used when compiling DLL
+under Windows and array needs to be visible outside the DLL.
+
+Example:
\begin{verbatim}
class MyClass;

+\membersection{WX\_APPEND\_ARRAY}\label{wxappendarray}
+
+\func{void}{WX\_APPEND\_ARRAY}{\param{wxArray\& }{array}, \param{wxArray\& }{other}}
+
+This macro may be used to append all elements of the {\it other} array to the
+{\it array}. The two arrays must be of the same type.

\func{void}{WX\_CLEAR\_ARRAY}{\param{wxArray\& }{array}}
ownership of the original item. Once again, it only makes sense for wxObjArrays
because the other array types never take ownership of their elements.
+You may also use \helpref{WX\_APPEND\_ARRAY}{wxappendarray} macro to append all
+elements of one array to another one.

Removes the element from the array, but, unlike,
-
\helpref{Remove()}{wxarrayremove} doesn't delete it. The function returns the
pointer to the removed element.
in the sorted array is used for wxSortedArray (this is why searchFromEnd
parameter doesn't make sense for it).
+{\bf NB:} even for wxObjArray classes, the operator==() of the elements in the
+array is {\bf not} used by this function. It searches exactly the given
+element in the array and so will only succeed if this element had been
+previously added to the array, but fail even if another, identical, element is
+in the array.

\func{\void}{Remove}{\param{T }{item}}
-Removes the element from the array either by index or by value. When an element
-is removed from wxObjArray it is deleted by the array - use
+Removes the element from the array either by value: the first item of the
+array equal to {\it item} is removed, an assert failure will result from an
+attempt to remove an item which doesn't exist in the array.
+
+When an element is removed from wxObjArray it is deleted by the array - use
\helpref{Detach()}{wxobjarraydetach} if you don't want this to happen. On the
other hand, when an object is removed from a wxArray nothing happens - you
should delete the it manually if required:

elements of a wxArray (supposed to contain pointers).
