+
+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 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

+

+\membersection{::wxGetClipboardData}\label{wxgetclipboarddata}

+\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}

+
+
+\membersection{wxEXPLICIT}\label{wxexplicit}
+
+{\tt wxEXPLICIT} is a macro which expands to the C++ {\tt explicit} keyword if

+For normal keys, returns \true if the specified key is currently down.

+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
+.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
+test for that resource's existence, and it also allows
+the overloading of the function for different types.

+
+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}

+Tells the system to delete the specified object when

+preserve the value of a \texttt{va\_list} object if you need to use it after

+
+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{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ALWAYS}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}

+These macros will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little

+current platform.

+\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.

+\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}
+
+wxWidgets uses its own RTTI ("run-time type identification") system which
+predates the current standard C++ RTTI and so is kept for backwards
+compatibility 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 wxWidgets classes.
