+The functions and macros defined in wxWindows are described here.
+
+\section{Version macros}\label{versionfunctions}
+
+The following constants are defined in wxWindows:
+
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item {\tt wxMAJOR\_VERSION} is the major version of wxWindows
+\item {\tt wxMINOR\_VERSION} is the minor version of wxWindows
+\item {\tt wxRELASE\_NUMBER} is the release number
+\end{itemize}
+
+For example, the values or these constants for wxWindows 2.1.15 are 2, 1 and
+15.
+
+Additionally, {\tt wxVERSION\_STRING} is a user-readable string containing
+the full wxWindows version and {\tt wxVERSION\_NUMBER} is a combination of the
+three version numbers above: for 2.1.15, it is 2115 and it is 2200 for
+wxWindows 2.2.

+<wx/version.h> or <wx/defs.h>
+
+\membersection{wxCHECK\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckversion}
+
+\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
+
+This is a macro which evaluates to true if the current wxWindows version is at
+least major.minor.release.
+
+For example, to test if the program is compiled with wxWindows 2.2 or higher,
+the following can be done:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString s;
+#if wxCHECK_VERSION(2, 2, 0)
+ if ( s.StartsWith("foo") )
+#else // replacement code for old version
+ if ( strncmp(s, "foo", 3) == 0 )
+#endif
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
\section{Thread functions}\label{threadfunctions}
This function must be called when any thread other than the main GUI thread
wants to get access to the GUI library. This function will block the execution
of the calling thread until the main thread (or any other thread holding the
-main GUI lock) leaves the GUI library and no other other thread will enter
-the GUI library until the calling thread calls \helpref{::wxMutexGuiLeave()}{wxmutexguileave}.

+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{output}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{errors}}
+
Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
The first form takes a command string, such as {\tt "emacs file.txt"}.
The second form takes an array of values: a command, any number of
arguments, terminated by NULL.
+The semantics of the third and fourth versions is different from the first two
+and is described in more details below.
+
If {\it sync} is FALSE (the default), flow of control immediately returns.
If TRUE, the current application waits until the other program has terminated.

If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous (note that callback

\helpref{wxProcess::OnTerminate}{wxprocessonterminate} will be called when
the process finishes.
+Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
+a process (always synchronously) and capture its output in the array
+{\it output}. The fourth version adds the possibility to additionally capture
+the messages from standard error output in the {\it errors} array.

+\section{Time functions}\label{timefunctions}
+
+The functions in this section deal with getting the current time and
+starting/stopping the global timers. Please note that the timer functions are
+deprecated because they work with one global timer only and
+\helpref{wxTimer}{wxtimer} and/or \helpref{wxStopWatch}{wxstopwatch} classes
+should be used instead. For retrieving the current time, you may also use
+\helpref{wxDateTime::Now}{wxdatetimenow} or
+\helpref{wxDateTime::UNow}{wxdatetimeunow} methods.
+
+\membersection{::wxGetElapsedTime}\label{wxgetelapsedtime}
+
+\func{long}{wxGetElapsedTime}{\param{bool}{ resetTimer = TRUE}}
+
+Gets the time in milliseconds since the last \helpref{::wxStartTimer}{wxstarttimer}.
+
+If {\it resetTimer} is TRUE (the default), the timer is reset to zero
+by this call.
+
+See also \helpref{wxTimer}{wxtimer}.
