+ \param{const wxString\& }{globalFilename = wxEmptyString},
+ \param{long}{ style = 0},
+ \param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvAuto()}}
+
+This is the default and only constructor of the wxConfigBase class, and
+derived classes.
+
+\wxheading{Parameters}
+
+\docparam{appName}{The application name. If this is empty, the class will
+normally use \helpref{wxApp::GetAppName}{wxappgetappname} to set it. The
+application name is used in the registry key on Windows, and can be used to
+deduce the local filename parameter if that is missing.}
+
+\docparam{vendorName}{The vendor name. If this is empty, it is assumed that
+no vendor name is wanted, if this is optional for the current config class.
+The vendor name is appended to the application name for wxRegConfig.}
+
+\docparam{localFilename}{Some config classes require a local filename. If this
+is not present, but required, the application name will be used instead.}
+
+\docparam{globalFilename}{Some config classes require a global filename. If
+this is not present, but required, the application name will be used instead.}
+
+\docparam{style}{Can be one of wxCONFIG\_USE\_LOCAL\_FILE and
+wxCONFIG\_USE\_GLOBAL\_FILE. The style interpretation depends on the config
+class and is ignored by some implementations. For wxFileConfig, these styles
+determine whether a local or global config file is created or used: if
+wxCONFIG\_USE\_GLOBAL\_FILE is used, then settings are read from the global
+config file and if wxCONFIG\_USE\_LOCAL\_FILE is used, settings are read from
+and written to local config file (if they are both set, global file is read
+first, then local file, overwriting global settings). If the
+flag is present but the parameter is empty, the parameter will be set to a
+default. If the parameter is present but the style flag not, the relevant flag
+will be added to the style. For wxRegConfig, thie GLOBAL flag refers to HKLM
+key while LOCAL one is for the usual HKCU one.
+
+For wxFileConfig you can also add wxCONFIG\_USE\_RELATIVE\_PATH by logically
+or'ing it to either of the \_FILE options to tell wxFileConfig to use relative
+instead of absolute paths.
+
+On non-VMS Unix systems, the default local configuration file is \tt{~/.appname}.
+However, this path may be also used as user data directory
+(see \helpref{wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir}{wxstandardpathsgetuserdatadir}) if
+the application has several data files. In this case wxCONFIG\_USE\_SUBDIR
+flag, which changes the default local configuration file to \tt{~/.appname/appname}
+should be used. Notice that this flag is ignored if \textit{localFilename} is
+provided. \newsince{2.8.2}
+
+For wxFileConfig, you can also add wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS which
+will turn off character escaping for the values of entries stored in the config
+file: for example a {\it foo} key with some backslash characters will be stored
+as {\tt foo=C:$\backslash$mydir} instead of the usual storage of {\tt
+foo=C:$\backslash\backslash$mydir}.
+
+The wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS style can be helpful if your config
+file must be read or written to by a non-wxWidgets program (which might not
+understand the escape characters). Note, however, that if
+wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS style is used, it is is now
+your application's responsibility to ensure that there is no newline or
+other illegal characters in a value, before writing that value to the file.}
+
+\docparam{conv}{This parameter is only used by wxFileConfig when compiled
+in Unicode mode. It specifies the encoding in which the configuration file
+is written.}
+
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+By default, environment variable expansion is on and recording defaults is
+off.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::\destruct{wxConfigBase}}\label{wxconfigbasedtor}
+
+\func{}{\destruct{wxConfigBase}}{\void}
+
+Empty but ensures that dtor of all derived classes is virtual.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::Create}\label{wxconfigbasecreate}
+
+\func{static wxConfigBase *}{Create}{\void}
+
+Create a new config object: this function will create the "best"
+implementation of wxConfig available for the current platform, see comments
+near the definition of wxCONFIG\_WIN32\_NATIVE for details. It returns the
+created object and also sets it as the current one.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::DontCreateOnDemand}\label{wxconfigbasedontcreateondemand}
+
+\func{void}{DontCreateOnDemand}{\void}
+
+Calling this function will prevent {\it Get()} from automatically creating a
+new config object if the current one is NULL. It might be useful to call it
+near the program end to prevent "accidental" creation of a new config object.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::DeleteAll}\label{wxconfigbasedeleteall}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteAll}{\void}
+
+Delete the whole underlying object (disk file, registry key, ...). Primarly
+for use by uninstallation routine.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::DeleteEntry}\label{wxconfigbasedeleteentry}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteEntry}{\param{const wxString\& }{ key}, \param{bool}{ bDeleteGroupIfEmpty = true}}
+
+Deletes the specified entry and the group it belongs to if it was the last key
+in it and the second parameter is true.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::DeleteGroup}\label{wxconfigbasedeletegroup}
+
+\func{bool}{DeleteGroup}{\param{const wxString\& }{ key}}
+
+Delete the group (with all subgroups). If the current path is under the group
+being deleted it is changed to its deepest still existing component. E.g. if
+the current path is \texttt{/A/B/C/D} and the group \texttt{C} is deleted the
+path becomes \texttt{/A/B}.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::Exists}\label{wxconfigbaseexists}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{Exists}{\param{wxString\& }{strName}}
+
+returns \true if either a group or an entry with a given name exists
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::Flush}\label{wxconfigbaseflush}
+
+\func{bool}{Flush}{\param{bool }{bCurrentOnly = false}}
+
+permanently writes all changes (otherwise, they're only written from object's
+destructor)
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::Get}\label{wxconfigbaseget}
+
+\func{static wxConfigBase *}{Get}{\param{bool }{CreateOnDemand = true}}
+
+Get the current config object. If there is no current object and
+{\it CreateOnDemand} is true, creates one
+(using {\it Create}) unless DontCreateOnDemand was called previously.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetAppName}\label{wxconfigbasegetappname}
+
+\constfunc{wxString}{GetAppName}{\void}
+
+Returns the application name.
+
+
+\membersection{wxConfigBase::GetEntryType}\label{wxconfigbasegetentrytype}
+
+\constfunc{enum wxConfigBase::EntryType}{GetEntryType}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
+
+Returns the type of the given entry or {\it Unknown} if the entry doesn't
+exist. This function should be used to decide which version of Read() should
+be used because some of wxConfig implementations will complain about type
+mismatch otherwise: e.g., an attempt to read a string value from an integer
+key with wxRegConfig will fail.
+
+The result is an element of enum EntryType:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ enum EntryType
+ {
+ Type_Unknown,
+ Type_String,
+ Type_Boolean,
+ Type_Integer,
+ Type_Float
+ };
+\end{verbatim}
