-\section{\class{wxList}}\label{wxlist}
-
-wxList classes provide linked list functionality for wxWindows, and for an
-application if it wishes. Depending on the form of constructor used, a list
-can be keyed on integer or string keys to provide a primitive look-up ability.
-See \helpref{wxHashTable}{wxhashtable}\rtfsp for a faster method of storage
-when random access is required.
-
-While wxList class in the previous versions of wxWindows only could contain
-elements of type wxObject and had essentially untyped interface (thus allowing
-you to put apples in the list and read back oranges from it), the new wxList
-classes family may contain elements of any type and has much more stricter type
-checking. Unfortunately, it also requires an additional line to be inserted in
-your program for each list class you use (which is the only solution short of
-using templates which is not done in wxWindows because of portability issues).
-
-The general idea is to have the base class wxListBase working with {\it void *}
-data but make all of its dangerous (because untyped) functions protected, so
-that they can only be used from derived classes which, in turn, expose a type
-safe interface. With this approach a new wxList-like class must be defined for
-each list type (i.e. list of ints, of wxStrings or of MyObjects). This is done
-with {\it WX\_DECLARE\_LIST} and {\it WX\_IMPLEMENT\_LIST} macros like this
-(notice the similarity with WX\_DECLARE\_OBJARRAY and WX\_IMPLEMENT\_OBJARRAY
-macros):

+\section{\class{wxList<T>}}\label{wxlist}
+
+The wxList<T> class provides linked list functionality. It has been written
+to be type safe and to provide the full API of the STL std::list container and
+should be used like it. The exception is that wxList<T> actually stores
+pointers and therefore its iterators return pointers and not references
+to the actual objets in the list (see example below) and {\it value\_type}
+is defined as {\it T*}.
+
+
+Unfortunately, the
+new wxList<T> class requires that you declare and define each wxList<T>
+class in your program. This is done with {\it WX\_DECLARE\_LIST} and
+{\it WX\_DEFINE\_LIST} macros (see example). We hope that we'll be able
+to provide a proper template class providing both the STL std::list
+and the old wxList API in the future.
+
+Please refer to the STL std::list documentation for further
+information on how to use the class. Below we documented both
+the supported STL and the legacy API that originated from the
+old wxList class and which can still be used alternatively for
+the the same class.
+
+Note that if you compile wxWidgets in STL mode (wxUSE\_STL defined as 1)
+then wxList<T> will actually derive from std::list and just add a legacy
+compatibility layer for the old wxList class.

// this part might be in a header or source (.cpp) file
class MyListElement

- // class (which derives from wxListBase)
- WX_DECLARE_LIST(MyListElement, MyList)

...
- // the only requirment for the rest is to be AFTER the full declaration of

// usually it will be found in the source file and not in the header

MyListElement element;

- list.Add(17); // error: incorrect type

For compatibility with previous versions wxList and wxStringList classes are
still defined, but their usage is deprecated and they will disappear in the
-future versions completely.
