Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute

parameter must contain the singular form of the string to be converted and
is used as the key for the search in the catalog. The \arg{strPlural} parameter
is the plural form (in English). The parameter \arg{n} is used to determine the
plural form. If no message catalog is found \arg{str} is returned if `n == 1',
otherwise \arg{strPlural}.

Used inside a class declaration to make the class known to wxWidgets RTTI
system and also declare that the objects of this class should be dynamically
creatable from run-time type information. Notice that this implies that the

Returns \true on success.
