\section{Thread functions}\label{threadfunctions}
+The functions and macros here mainly exist to make it writing the code which
+may be compiled in multi thread build ({\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} $= 1$) as well as
+in single thread configuration ({\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} $= 0$).
+
+For example, a static variable must be protected against simultaneous access by
+multiple threads in the former configuration but in the latter the extra
+overhead of using the critical section is not needed. To solve this problem,
+the \helpref{wxCRITICAL\_SECTION}{wxcriticalsectionmacro} macro may be used
+to create and use the critical section only when needed.

+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}\label{wxcritsectdeclare}
+
+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{\param{}{cs}}
+
+This macro declares a (static) critical section object named {\it cs} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE\_MEMBER}\label{wxcritsectdeclaremember}
+
+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{\param{}{cs}}
+
+This macro declares a critical section object named {\it cs} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$. As it doesn't
+include the {\tt static} keyword (unlike
+\helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{wxcritsectdeclare}), it can be used to declare
+a class or struct member which explains its name.
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}\label{wxcritsectlocker}
+
+\func{}{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}{\param{}{name}, \param{}{cs}}
+
+This macro creates a \helpref{critical section lock}{wxcriticalsectionlocker}
+object named {\it name} and associated with the critical section {\it cs} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
+\membersection{wxCRITICAL\_SECTION}\label{wxcriticalsectionmacro}
+
+\func{}{wxCRITICAL\_SECTION}{\param{}{name}}
+
+This macro combines \helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_DECLARE}{wxcritsectdeclare} and
+\helpref{wxCRIT\_SECT\_LOCKER}{wxcritsectlocker}: it creates a static critical
+section object and also the lock object associated with it. Because of this, it
+can be only used inside a function, not at global scope. For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int IncCount()
+{
+ static int s_counter = 0;
+
+ wxCRITICAL_SECTION(counter);
+
+ return ++s_counter;
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+(note that we suppose that the function is called the first time from the main
+thread so that the critical section object is initialized correctly by the time
+other threads start calling it, if this is not the case this approach can
+{\bf not} be used and the critical section must be made a global instead).
+
+
+\membersection{wxENTER\_CRIT\_SECT}\label{wxentercritsect}
+
+\func{}{wxENTER\_CRIT\_SECT}{\param{wxCriticalSection\& }{cs}}
+
+This macro is equivalent to \helpref{cs.Enter()}{wxcriticalsectionenter} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
+\membersection{::wxIsMainThread}\label{wxismainthread}
+
+\func{bool}{wxIsMainThread}{\void}
+
+Returns {\tt true} if this thread is the main one. Always returns {\tt true} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $0$.
+
+
+\membersection{wxLEAVE\_CRIT\_SECT}\label{wxleavecritsect}
+
+\func{}{wxLEAVE\_CRIT\_SECT}{\param{wxCriticalSection\& }{cs}}
+
+This macro is equivalent to \helpref{cs.Leave()}{wxcriticalsectionleave} if
+{\tt wxUSE\_THREADS} is $1$ and does nothing if it is $0$.
+
+
\membersection{::wxMutexGuiEnter}\label{wxmutexguienter}
\func{void}{wxMutexGuiEnter}{\void}
Returns {\tt true} if the pointer is either {\tt NULL} or points to an empty
string, {\tt false} otherwise.
+\membersection{::wxStrcmp}\label{wxstrcmp}
+
+\func{int}{wxStrcmp}{\param{const char *}{p1}, \param{const char *}{p2}}
+
+Returns a negative value, 0, or positive value if {\it p1} is less than, equal
+to or greater than {\it p2}. The comparison is case-sensitive.
+
+This function complements the standard C function {\it stricmp()} which performs
+case-insensitive comparison.
+
\membersection{::wxStricmp}\label{wxstricmp}

\section{Dialog functions}\label{dialogfunctions}
Below are a number of convenience functions for getting input from the
\membersection{::wxMessageBox}\label{wxmessagebox}
-\func{int}{wxMessageBox}{\param{const wxString\& }{message}, \param{const wxString\& }{caption = ``Message"}, \param{int}{ style = wxOK \pipe wxCENTRE},\\

\param{wxWindow *}{parent = NULL}, \param{int}{ x = -1}, \param{int}{ y = -1}}
General purpose message dialog. {\it style} may be a bit list of the
\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.}
int answer = wxMessageBox("Quit program?", "Confirm",
wxYES_NO | wxCANCEL, main_frame);
if (answer == wxYES)
- delete main_frame;
+ main_frame->Close();
...
\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.

\section{Miscellaneous functions}\label{miscellany}
+\membersection{wxDYNLIB\_FUNCTION}\label{wxdynlibfunction}
+
+\func{}{wxDYNLIB\_FUNCTION}{\param{}{type}, \param{}{name}, \param{}{dynlib}}
+
+When loading a function from a DLL you always have to cast the returned
+\tt{void *} pointer to the correct type and, even more annoyingly, you have to
+repeat this type twice if you want to declare and define a function pointer all
+in one line
+
+This macro makes this slightly less painful by allowing you to specify the
+type only once, as the first parameter, and creating a variable of this type
+named after the function but with {\tt pfn} prefix and initialized with the
+function \arg{name} from the \helpref{wxDynamicLibrary}{wxdynamiclibrary}
+\arg{dynlib}.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{type}{the type of the function}
+
+\docparam{name}{the name of the function to load, not a string (without quotes,
+it is quoted automatically by the macro)}
+
+\docparam{dynlib}{the library to load the function from}
+
+
\membersection{wxEXPLICIT}\label{wxexplicit}
{\tt wxEXPLICIT} is a macro which expands to the C++ {\tt explicit} keyword if
<wx/debug.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxIsDebuggerRunning}\label{wxisdebuggerrunning}
+
+\func{bool}{wxIsDebuggerRunning}{\void}
+
+Returns {\tt true} if the program is running under debugger, {\tt false}
+otherwise.
+
+Please note that this function is currently only implemented for Mac builds
+using CodeWarrior and always returns {\tt false} elsewhere.
