+\section{Dialog functions}\label{dialogfunctions}
+
+Below are a number of convenience functions for getting input from the
+user or displaying messages. Note that in these functions the last three
+parameters are optional. However, it is recommended to pass a parent frame
+parameter, or (in MS Windows or Motif) the wrong window frame may be brought to
+the front when the dialog box is popped up.
+
+
+\membersection{::wxAboutBox}\label{wxaboutbox}
+
+\func{void}{wxAboutBox}{\param{const wxAboutDialogInfo\& }{info}}
+
+This function shows the standard about dialog containing the information
+specified in \arg{info}. If the current platform has a native about dialog
+which is capable of showing all the fields in \arg{info}, the native dialog is
+used, otherwise the function falls back to the generic wxWidgets version of the
+dialog, i.e. does the same thing as \helpref{wxGenericAboutBox()}{wxgenericaboutbox}.
+
+Here is an example of how this function may be used:
+\begin{verbatim}
+void MyFrame::ShowSimpleAboutDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
+{
+ wxAboutDialogInfo info;
+ info.SetName(_("My Program"));
+ info.SetVersion(_("1.2.3 Beta"));
+ info.SetDescription(_("This program does something great."));
+ info.SetCopyright(_T("(C) 2007 Me <my@email.addre.ss>"));
+
+ wxAboutBox(info);
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Please see the \helpref{dialogs sample}{sampledialogs} for more examples of
+using this function and \helpref{wxAboutDialogInfo}{wxaboutdialoginfo} for the
+description of the information which can be shown in the about dialog.

+
+Pops up a directory selector dialog. The arguments have the same meaning as
+those of wxDirDialog::wxDirDialog(). The message is displayed at the top,
+and the default\_path, if specified, is set as the initial selection.
+
+The application must check for an empty return value (if the user pressed
+Cancel). For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+const wxString& dir = wxDirSelector("Choose a folder");
+if ( !dir.empty() )
+{

+ \param{const wxString\& }{wildcard = "*.*"}, \param{int }{flags = 0}, \param{wxWindow *}{parent = NULL},\\
+ \param{int}{ x = -1}, \param{int}{ y = -1}}
+
+Pops up a file selector box. In Windows, this is the common file selector
+dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with the same functionality.
+The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
+If path is empty, the current directory will be used. If filename is empty,
+no default filename will be supplied. The wildcard determines what files
+are displayed in the file selector, and file extension supplies a type
+extension for the required filename. Flags may be a combination of wxOPEN,
+wxSAVE, wxOVERWRITE\_PROMPT or wxFILE\_MUST\_EXIST. Note that wxMULTIPLE
+can only be used with \helpref{wxFileDialog}{wxfiledialog} and not here as this
+function only returns a single file name.
+
+Both the Unix and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a
+filename containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and
+clicking on Ok, will result in only those files matching the pattern being
+displayed.
+
+The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file
+with a description for each, such as:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The application must check for an empty return value (the user pressed
+Cancel). For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxString filename = wxFileSelector("Choose a file to open");
+if ( !filename.empty() )
+{
+ // work with the file
+ ...
+}
+//else: cancelled by user

+that it always uses the generic wxWidgets version of the dialog instead of the
+native one. This is mainly useful if you need to customize the dialog by e.g.

+\func{bool}{wxMakeMetafilePlaceable}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}, \param{int }{minX}, \param{int }{minY},
+ \param{int }{maxX}, \param{int }{maxY}, \param{float }{scale=1.0}}
+
+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:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ SetMapMode(dc, MM_ANISOTROPIC);
+ SetWindowOrg(dc, minX, minY);
+ SetWindowExt(dc, maxX - minX, maxY - minY);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This simulates the wxMM\_TEXT mapping mode, which wxWidgets assumes.
+
+Placeable metafiles may be imported by many Windows applications, and can be
+used in RTF (Rich Text Format) files.
+
+{\it scale} allows the specification of scale for the metafile.

+
+\func{int}{wxEnumClipboardFormats}{\param{int}{ dataFormat}}
+
+Enumerates the formats found in a list of available formats that belong
+to the clipboard. Each call to this function specifies a known
+available format; the function returns the format that appears next in
+the list.
+
+{\it dataFormat} specifies a known format. If this parameter is zero,
+the function returns the first format in the list.
+
+The return value specifies the next known clipboard data format if the
+function is successful. It is zero if the {\it dataFormat} parameter specifies
+the last format in the list of available formats, or if the clipboard
+is not open.
+
+Before it enumerates the formats function, an application must open the clipboard by using the
+wxOpenClipboard function.
+
+
+\membersection{::wxGetClipboardData}\label{wxgetclipboarddata}
+
+\func{wxObject *}{wxGetClipboardData}{\param{int}{ dataFormat}}

+
+
+\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
+the compiler supports it or nothing otherwise. Thus, it can be used even in the
+code which might have to be compiled with an old compiler without support for
+this language feature but still take advantage of it when it is available.
+
+
+\membersection{::wxGetKeyState}\label{wxgetkeystate}
+
+\func{bool}{wxGetKeyState}{\param{wxKeyCode }{key}}
+
+For normal keys, returns \true if the specified key is currently down.
+
+For togglable keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock), returns
+\true if the key is toggled such that its LED indicator is lit. There is
+currently no way to test whether togglable keys are up or down.
+
+Even though there are virtual key codes defined for mouse buttons, they
+cannot be used with this function currently.

+
+Gets a resource value from the resource database (for example, WIN.INI, or

+
+Under X, if an application class (wxApp::GetClassName) has been defined,

+
+The reason for passing the result in an argument is that it

+Open the \arg{url} in user's default browser. If \arg{flags} parameter contains
+\texttt{wxBROWSER\_NEW\_WINDOW} flag, a new window is opened for the URL
+(currently this is only supported under Windows).
+
+Returns \true if the application was successfully launched.

+\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.
+
+This function is available under Windows only.

+\membersection{::wxPostDelete}\label{wxpostdelete}
+
+\func{void}{wxPostDelete}{\param{wxObject *}{object}}
+
+Tells the system to delete the specified object when
+all other events have been processed. In some environments, it is
+necessary to use this instead of deleting a frame directly with the
+delete operator, because some GUIs will still send events to a deleted window.
+
+Now obsolete: use \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} instead.

+\membersection{::wxPostEvent}\label{wxpostevent}
+
+\func{void}{wxPostEvent}{\param{wxEvtHandler *}{dest}, \param{wxEvent\& }{event}}
+
+In a GUI application, this function posts {\it event} to the specified {\it dest}
+object using \helpref{wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent}{wxevthandleraddpendingevent}.
+Otherwise, it dispatches {\it event} immediately using
+\helpref{wxEvtHandler::ProcessEvent}{wxevthandlerprocessevent}.

+\func{void}{wxSetDisplayName}{\param{const wxString\& }{displayName}}
+
+Under X only, sets the current display name. This is the X host and display name such
+as ``colonsay:0.0", and the function indicates which display should be used for creating
+windows from this point on. Setting the display within an application allows multiple
+displays to be used.
+
+See also \helpref{wxGetDisplayName}{wxgetdisplayname}.

+\membersection{::wxStripMenuCodes}\label{wxstripmenucodes}
+
+\func{wxString}{wxStripMenuCodes}{\param{const wxString\& }{str}, \param{int }{flags = wxStrip\_All}}
+
+Strips any menu codes from \arg{str} and returns the result.
+
+By default, the functions strips both the mnemonics character (\texttt{'\&'})
+which is used to indicate a keyboard shortkey, and the accelerators, which are
+used only in the menu items and are separated from the main text by the
+\texttt{$\backslash$t} (TAB) character. By using \arg{flags} of
+\texttt{wxStrip\_Mnemonics} or \texttt{wxStrip\_Accel} to strip only the former
+or the latter part, respectively.
+
+Notice that in most cases
+\helpref{wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText}{wxmenuitemgetlabelfromtext} or
+\helpref{wxControl::GetLabelText}{wxcontrolgetlabeltext} can be used instead.

+\membersection{wxSTRINGIZE}\label{wxstringize}
+
+\func{}{wxSTRINGIZE}{\param{}{x}}
+
+Returns the string representation of the given symbol which can be either a
+literal or a macro (hence the advantage of using this macro instead of the
+standard preprocessor \texttt{\#} operator which doesn't work with macros).
+
+Notice that this macro always produces a \texttt{char} string, use
+\helpref{wxSTRINGIZE\_T}{wxstringizet} to build a wide string Unicode build.

+\membersection{wxSTRINGIZE\_T}\label{wxstringizet}
+
+\func{}{wxSTRINGIZE\_T}{\param{}{x}}
+
+Returns the string representation of the given symbol as either an ASCII or
+Unicode string, depending on the current build. This is the Unicode-friendly
+equivalent of \helpref{wxSTRINGIZE}{wxstringize}.
+
+
+\membersection{wxSUPPRESS\_GCC\_PRIVATE\_DTOR\_WARNING}\label{wxsuppressgccprivatedtorwarning}
+
+\func{}{wxSUPPRESS\_GCC\_PRIVATE\_DTOR\_WARNING}{\param{}{name}}
+
+GNU C++ compiler gives a warning for any class whose destructor is private
+unless it has a friend. This warning may sometimes be useful but it doesn't
+make sense for reference counted class which always delete themselves (hence
+destructor should be private) but don't necessarily have any friends, so this
+macro is provided to disable the warning in such case. The \arg{name} parameter
+should be the name of the class but is only used to construct a unique friend
+class name internally. Example of using the macro:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ class RefCounted
+ {
+ public:
+ RefCounted() { m_nRef = 1; }
+ void IncRef() { m_nRef++ ; }
+ void DecRef() { if ( !--m_nRef ) delete this; }
+
+ private:
+ ~RefCounted() { }
+
+ wxSUPPRESS_GCC_PRIVATE_DTOR(RefCounted)
+ };
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Notice that there should be no semicolon after this macro.
+
+
+\membersection{wxULL}\label{wxull}
+
+\func{wxLongLong\_t}{wxULL}{\param{}{number}}
+
+This macro is defined for the platforms with a native 64 bit integer type and
+allows to define unsigned 64 bit compile time constants:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ #ifdef wxLongLong_t
+ unsigned wxLongLong_t ll = wxULL(0x1234567890abcdef);
+ #endif

+\membersection{wxVaCopy}\label{wxvacopy}
+
+\func{void}{wxVaCopy}{\param{va\_list }{argptrDst}, \param{va\_list}{ argptrSrc}}
+
+This macro is the same as the standard C99 \texttt{va\_copy} for the compilers
+which support it or its replacement for those that don't. It must be used to
+preserve the value of a \texttt{va\_list} object if you need to use it after
+passing it to another function because it can be modified by the latter.
+
+As with \texttt{va\_start}, each call to \texttt{wxVaCopy} must have a matching
+\texttt{va\_end}.

+
+\func{bool}{wxWriteResource}{\param{const wxString\& }{section}, \param{const wxString\& }{entry},
+ \param{int }{value}, \param{const wxString\& }{file = NULL}}
+
+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.
+
+See also \helpref{wxGetResource}{wxgetresource}, \helpref{wxConfigBase}{wxconfigbase}.

+\func{}{\_\_WXFUNCTION\_\_}{\void}
+
+This macro expands to the name of the current function if the compiler supports
+any of \texttt{\_\_FUNCTION\_\_}, \texttt{\_\_func\_\_} or equivalent variables
+or macros or to \NULL if none of them is available.
+
+
+
+\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.
