+
+General purpose message dialog. {\it style} may be a bit list of the
+following identifiers:
+
+\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
+\twocolitem{wxYES\_NO}{Puts Yes and No buttons on the message box. May be combined with
+wxCANCEL.}
+\twocolitem{wxCANCEL}{Puts a Cancel button on the message box. May be combined with
+wxYES\_NO or wxOK.}
+\twocolitem{wxOK}{Puts an Ok button on the message box. May be combined with wxCANCEL.}
+\twocolitem{wxCENTRE}{Centres the text.}
+\twocolitem{wxICON\_EXCLAMATION}{Displays an exclamation mark symbol.}
+\twocolitem{wxICON\_HAND}{Displays an error symbol.}
+\twocolitem{wxICON\_ERROR}{Displays an error symbol - the same as wxICON\_HAND.}
+\twocolitem{wxICON\_QUESTION}{Displays a question mark symbol.}
+\twocolitem{wxICON\_INFORMATION}{Displays an information symbol.}
+\end{twocollist}
+
+The return value is one of: wxYES, wxNO, wxCANCEL, wxOK.
+
+For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ ...
+ int answer = wxMessageBox("Quit program?", "Confirm",
+ wxYES_NO | wxCANCEL, main_frame);
+ if (answer == wxYES)
+ delete main_frame;
+ ...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+{\it message} may contain newline characters, in which case the
+message will be split into separate lines, to cater for large messages.
+
+Under Windows, the native MessageBox function is used unless wxCENTRE
+is specified in the style, in which case a generic function is used.
+This is because the native MessageBox function cannot centre text.
+The symbols are not shown when the generic function is used.

+
+Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using \helpref{wxMetafileDC}{wxmetafiledc})
+makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header containing the given
+bounding box. The bounding box may be obtained from a device context after drawing
+into it, using the functions wxDC::MinX, wxDC::MinY, wxDC::MaxX and wxDC::MaxY.
+
+In addition to adding the placeable metafile header, this function adds
+the equivalent of the following code to the start of the metafile data:

+
+Gets a resource value from the resource database (for example, WIN.INI, or
+.Xdefaults). If {\it file} is NULL, WIN.INI or .Xdefaults is used,
+otherwise the specified file is used.
+
+Under X, if an application class (wxApp::GetClassName) has been defined,
+it is appended to the string /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ to try to find
+an applications default file when merging all resource databases.
+
+The reason for passing the result in an argument is that it
+can be convenient to define a default value, which gets overridden
+if the value exists in the resource file. It saves a separate

+\membersection{::wxLoadUserResource}\label{wxloaduserresource}
+
+\func{wxString}{wxLoadUserResource}{\param{const wxString\& }{resourceName}, \param{const wxString\& }{resourceType=``TEXT"}}
+
+Loads a user-defined Windows resource as a string. If the resource is found, the function creates
+a new character array and copies the data into it. A pointer to this data is returned. If unsuccessful, NULL is returned.
+
+The resource must be defined in the {\tt .rc} file using the following syntax:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+myResource TEXT file.ext
+\end{verbatim}
+
+where {\tt file.ext} is a file that the resource compiler can find.
+
+One use of this is to store {\tt .wxr} files instead of including the data in the C++ file; some compilers
+cannot cope with the long strings in a {\tt .wxr} file. The resource data can then be parsed

+\func{bool}{wxWriteResource}{\param{const wxString\& }{section}, \param{const wxString\& }{entry},

+
+Writes a resource value into the resource database (for example, WIN.INI, or
+.Xdefaults). If {\it file} is NULL, WIN.INI or .Xdefaults is used,
+otherwise the specified file is used.
+
+Under X, the resource databases are cached until the internal function
+\rtfsp{\bf wxFlushResources} is called automatically on exit, when
+all updated resource databases are written to their files.
+
+Note that it is considered bad manners to write to the .Xdefaults
+file under Unix, although the WIN.INI file is fair game under Windows.

+\section{Byte order macros}\label{byteordermacros}
+
+The endian-ness issues (that is the difference between big-endian and
+little-endian architectures) are important for the portable programs working
+with the external binary data (for example, data files or data coming from
+network) which is usually in some fixed, platform-independent format. The
+macros are helpful for transforming the data to the correct format.

+\func{wxInt16}{wxINT16\_SWAP\_ALWAYS}{\param{wxInt16 }{value}}
+
+\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ALWAYS}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
+
+These macros will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
+endian to big endian or vice versa unconditionally, i.e. independently of the
+current platform.
+
+\membersection{wxINTXX\_SWAP\_ON\_BE}\label{intswaponbe}

+\func{wxInt16}{wxINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_BE}{\param{wxInt16 }{value}}
+
+\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_BE}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
+
+This macro will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
+endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a
+big-endian architecture (such as Sun work stations). If the program has
+been compiled on a little-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
+
+Use these macros to read data from and write data to a file that stores
+data in little-endian (for example Intel i386) format.
+
+\membersection{wxINTXX\_SWAP\_ON\_LE}\label{intswaponle}
+
+\func{wxInt32}{wxINT32\_SWAP\_ON\_LE}{\param{wxInt32 }{value}}

+\func{wxInt16}{wxINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_LE}{\param{wxInt16 }{value}}
+
+\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_LE}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
+
+This macro will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
+endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a
+little-endian architecture (such as Intel PCs). If the program has
+been compiled on a big-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
+
+Use these macros to read data from and write data to a file that stores
+data in big-endian format.
+
+\section{RTTI functions}\label{rttimacros}
+
+wxWindows uses its own RTTI ("run-time type identification") system which
+predates the current standard C++ RTTI and so is kept for backwards
+compatribility reasons but also because it allows some things which the
+standard RTTI doesn't directly support (such as creating a class from its
+name).
+
+The standard C++ RTTI can be used in the user code without any problems and in
+general you shouldn't need to use the functions and the macros in this section
+unless you are thinking of modifying or adding any wxWindows classes.

+files and loading user interface elements from resources.
+
+\normalbox{Please note that this use of the word `resource' is different from that used when talking
+about initialisation file resource reading and writing, using such functions

+
+See also \helpref{wxWindow::LoadFromResource}{wxwindowloadfromresource} for

+
+\membersection{::wxResourceAddIdentifier}\label{wxresourceaddidentifier}
+
+\func{bool}{wxResourceAddIdentifier}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{int }{value}}
+
+Used for associating a name with an integer identifier (equivalent to dynamically\rtfsp
+{\tt\#}defining a name to an integer). Unlikely to be used by an application except
+perhaps for implementing resource functionality for interpreted languages.
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceClear}\label{wxresourceclear}
+
+\func{void}{wxResourceClear}{\void}
+
+Clears the wxWindows resource table.
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceCreateBitmap}\label{wxresourcecreatebitmap}
+
+\func{wxBitmap *}{wxResourceCreateBitmap}{\param{const wxString\& }{resource}}
+
+Creates a new bitmap from a file, static data, or Windows resource, given a valid
+wxWindows bitmap resource identifier. For example, if the .WXR file contains
+the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+static const wxString\& project_resource = "bitmap(name = 'project_resource',\
+ bitmap = ['project', wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP_RESOURCE, 'WINDOWS'],\
+ bitmap = ['project.xpm', wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM, 'X']).";
+\end{verbatim}
+
+then this function can be called as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxBitmap *bitmap = wxResourceCreateBitmap("project_resource");
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceCreateIcon}\label{wxresourcecreateicon}
+
+\func{wxIcon *}{wxResourceCreateIcon}{\param{const wxString\& }{resource}}
+
+Creates a new icon from a file, static data, or Windows resource, given a valid
+wxWindows icon resource identifier. For example, if the .WXR file contains
+the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+static const wxString\& project_resource = "icon(name = 'project_resource',\
+ icon = ['project', wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO_RESOURCE, 'WINDOWS'],\
+ icon = ['project', wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM_DATA, 'X']).";
+\end{verbatim}
+
+then this function can be called as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxIcon *icon = wxResourceCreateIcon("project_resource");
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceCreateMenuBar}\label{wxresourcecreatemenubar}
+
+\func{wxMenuBar *}{wxResourceCreateMenuBar}{\param{const wxString\& }{resource}}
+
+Creates a new menu bar given a valid wxWindows menubar resource
+identifier. For example, if the .WXR file contains the following:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+static const wxString\& menuBar11 = "menu(name = 'menuBar11',\
+ menu = \
+ [\
+ ['&File', 1, '', \
+ ['&Open File', 2, 'Open a file'],\

+ ['E&xit', 4, 'Exit program']\
+ ],\
+ ['&Help', 5, '', \
+ ['&About', 6, 'About this program']\

+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceGetIdentifier}\label{wxresourcegetidentifier}
+
+\func{int}{wxResourceGetIdentifier}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
+
+Used for retrieving the integer value associated with an identifier.
+A zero value indicates that the identifier was not found.
+
+See \helpref{wxResourceAddIdentifier}{wxresourceaddidentifier}.
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceParseData}\label{wxresourcedata}
+
+\func{bool}{wxResourceParseData}{\param{const wxString\& }{resource}, \param{wxResourceTable *}{table = NULL}}
+
+Parses a string containing one or more wxWindows resource objects. If
+the resource objects are global static data that are included into the
+C++ program, then this function must be called for each variable
+containing the resource data, to make it known to wxWindows.
+
+{\it resource} should contain data in the following form:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+dialog(name = 'dialog1',
+ style = 'wxCAPTION | wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE',
+ title = 'Test dialog box',
+ x = 312, y = 234, width = 400, height = 300,

+ [11, 'wxSWISS', 'wxNORMAL', 'wxNORMAL', 0],
+ [11, 'wxSWISS', 'wxNORMAL', 'wxNORMAL', 0]]).
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This function will typically be used after including a {\tt .wxr} file into
+a C++ program as follows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+#include "dialog1.wxr"
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Each of the contained resources will declare a new C++ variable, and each
+of these variables should be passed to wxResourceParseData.
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceParseFile}\label{wxresourceparsefile}
+
+\func{bool}{wxResourceParseFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}, \param{wxResourceTable *}{table = NULL}}

+in C++-compatible syntax. Use this function to dynamically load
+wxWindows resource data.
+
+\membersection{::wxResourceParseString}\label{wxresourceparsestring}
+
+\func{bool}{wxResourceParseString}{\param{char *}{s}, \param{wxResourceTable *}{table = NULL}}
+
+Parses a string containing one or more wxWindows resource objects. If
+the resource objects are global static data that are included into the
+C++ program, then this function must be called for each variable
+containing the resource data, to make it known to wxWindows.
+
+{\it resource} should contain data with the following form:

+ [11, 'wxSWISS', 'wxNORMAL', 'wxNORMAL', 0],
+ [11, 'wxSWISS', 'wxNORMAL', 'wxNORMAL', 0]]).

+
+\func{bool}{wxResourceRegisterBitmapData}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{char **}{xpm\_data}}
+
+Makes {\tt\#}included XBM or XPM bitmap data known to the wxWindows resource system.
+This is required if other resources will use the bitmap data, since otherwise there
+is no connection between names used in resources, and the global bitmap data.

+
+Display a debugging message; under Windows, this will appear on the

+
+The syntax is identical to {\bf printf}: pass a format string and a

+
+{\bf Tip:} under Windows, if your application crashes before the

+\membersection{::wxLogFatalError}\label{wxlogfatalerror}
+
+\func{void}{wxLogFatalError}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{...}{}}

+\membersection{::wxLogMessage}\label{wxlogmessage}
+
+\func{void}{wxLogMessage}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{...}{}}
+
+\func{void}{wxVLogMessage}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{va\_list }{argPtr}}
+
+For all normal, informational messages. They also appear in a message box by
+default (but it can be changed). Notice that the standard behaviour is to not
+show informational messages if there are any errors later - the logic being
+that the later error messages make the informational messages preceding them

+Mostly used by wxWindows itself, but might be handy for logging errors after
+system call (API function) failure. It logs the specified message text as well
+as the last system error code ({\it errno} or {\it ::GetLastError()} depending
+on the platform) and the corresponding error message. The second form
+of this function takes the error code explicitly as the first argument.

+The right functions for debug output. They only do something in debug
+mode (when the preprocessor symbol \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_ is defined) and expand to
+nothing in release mode (otherwise).

+
+As {\bf wxLogDebug}, trace functions only do something in debug build and
+expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making
+it a separate function from it is that usually there are a lot of trace
+messages, so it might make sense to separate them from other debug messages.
+
+The trace messages also usually can be separated into different categories and
+the second and third versions of this function only log the message if the
+{\it mask} which it has is currently enabled in \helpref{wxLog}{wxlog}. This
+allows to selectively trace only some operations and not others by changing
+the value of the trace mask (possible during the run-time).
+
+For the second function (taking a string mask), the message is logged only if
+the mask has been previously enabled by the call to
+\helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask}. The predefined string trace masks
+used by wxWindows are:
+
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item wxTRACE\_MemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete)
+\item wxTRACE\_Messages: trace window messages/X callbacks
+\item wxTRACE\_ResAlloc: trace GDI resource allocation
+\item wxTRACE\_RefCount: trace various ref counting operations
+\item wxTRACE\_OleCalls: trace OLE method calls (Win32 only)
+\end{itemize}
