the compiler is not GNU C++ at all, returns $0$.
+\membersection{wxCHECK\_SUNCC\_VERSION}\label{wxchecksunccversion}
+
+\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_SUNCC\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor}}
+
+Returns $1$ if the compiler being used to compile the code is Sun CC Pro
+compiler and its version is at least \texttt{major.minor}. Otherwise returns
+$0$.
+
+
\membersection{wxCHECK\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckversion}
\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
\membersection{wxCHECK\_W32API\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckw32apiversion}
-\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_GCC\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
+\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_W32API\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
Returns $1$ if the version of w32api headers used is major.minor.release or
greater. Otherwise, and also if we are not compiling with mingw32/cygwin under
Notice that parameters \arg{argc} and \arg{argv} may be modified by this
function.
+An additional overload of wxEntryStart() is provided under MSW only: it is
+meant to be called with the parameters passed to \texttt{WinMain()}.
+
+\func{bool}{wxEntryStart}{\param{HINSTANCE }{hInstance}, \param{HINSTANCE }{hPrevInstance = \NULL}, \param{char *}{pCmdLine = \NULL}, \param{int }{nCmdShow = \texttt{SW\_SHOWNORMAL}}}
+
+(notice that under Windows CE platform, and only there, the type of
+\arg{pCmdLine} is \texttt{wchar\_t *}, otherwise it is \texttt{char *}, even in
+Unicode build).

kill this process as well as all of its children (except those which have
started their own session).
+The {\tt wxEXEC\_NOEVENTS} flag prevents processing of any events from taking
+place while the child process is running. It should be only used for very
+short-lived processes as otherwise the application windows risk becoming
+unresponsive from the users point of view. As this flag only makes sense with
+{\tt wxEXEC\_SYNC}, {\tt wxEXEC\_BLOCK} equal to the sum of both of these flags
+is provided as a convenience.
+
Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
a process (always synchronously, the contents of \arg{flags} is or'd with
\texttt{wxEXEC\_SYNC}) and capture its output in the array \arg{output}. The
\membersection{::wxFindFirstFile}\label{wxfindfirstfile}
-\func{wxString}{wxFindFirstFile}{\param{const char *}{spec}, \param{int}{ flags = 0}}
+\func{wxString}{wxFindFirstFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{spec}, \param{int}{ flags = 0}}
This function does directory searching; returns the first file
that matches the path {\it spec}, or the empty string. Use \helpref{wxFindNextFile}{wxfindnextfile} to
\func{bool}{wxCopyFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{file1}, \param{const wxString\& }{file2}, \param{bool }{overwrite = true}}
Copies {\it file1} to {\it file2}, returning true if successful. If
-{\it overwrite} parameter is true (default), the destination file is overwritten
-if it exists, but if {\it overwrite} is false, the functions fails in this
+{\it overwrite} parameter is \true (default), the destination file is overwritten
+if it exists, but if {\it overwrite} is \false, the functions fails in this
case.
+This function supports resources forks under Mac OS.

\membersection{::wxSplitPath}\label{wxsplitfunction}
-\func{void}{wxSplitPath}{\param{const char *}{ fullname}, \param{wxString *}{ path}, \param{wxString *}{ name}, \param{wxString *}{ ext}}
+\func{void}{wxSplitPath}{\param{const wxString\&}{ fullname}, \param{wxString *}{ path}, \param{wxString *}{ name}, \param{wxString *}{ ext}}
{\bf NB:} This function is obsolete, please use
\helpref{wxFileName::SplitPath}{wxfilenamesplitpath} instead.
\section{String functions}\label{stringfunctions}
-
-\membersection{::copystring}\label{copystring}
-
-\func{char *}{copystring}{\param{const char *}{s}}
-
-Makes a copy of the string {\it s} using the C++ new operator, so it can be
-deleted with the {\it delete} operator.
-
-This function is deprecated, use \helpref{wxString}{wxstring} class instead.
-
-
\membersection{::wxGetTranslation}\label{wxgettranslation}
\func{const wxString\& }{wxGetTranslation}{\param{const wxString\& }{str},
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
+extension for the required filename. Flags may be a combination of wxFD\_OPEN,
+wxFD\_SAVE, wxFD\_OVERWRITE\_PROMPT or wxFD\_FILE\_MUST\_EXIST. Note that wxFD\_MULTIPLE
can only be used with \helpref{wxFileDialog}{wxfiledialog} and not here as this
function only returns a single file name.
+\membersection{wxDEPRECATED}\label{wxdeprecated}
+
+This macro can be used around a function declaration to generate warnings
+indicating that this function is deprecated (i.e. obsolete and planned to be
+removed in the future) when it is used. Only Visual C++ 7 and higher and g++
+compilers currently support this functionality.
+
+Example of use:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ // old function, use wxString version instead
+ wxDEPRECATED( void wxGetSomething(char *buf, size_t len) );
+
+ // ...
+ wxString wxGetSomething();
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\membersection{wxDEPRECATED\_BUT\_USED\_INTERNALLY}\label{wxdeprecatedbutusedinternally}
+
+This is a special version of \helpref{wxDEPRECATED}{wxdeprecated} macro which
+only does something when the deprecated function is used from the code outside
+wxWidgets itself but doesn't generate warnings when it is used from wxWidgets.
+It is used with the virtual functions which are called by the library itself --
+even if such function is deprecated the library still has to call it to ensure
+that the existing code overriding it continues to work, but the use of this
+macro ensures that a deprecation warning will be generated if this function is
+used from the user code or, in case of Visual C++, even when it is simply
+overridden.
+
+
\membersection{wxEXPLICIT}\label{wxexplicit}
{\tt wxEXPLICIT} is a macro which expands to the C++ {\tt explicit} keyword if
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).
+(currently this is only supported under Windows). The \arg{url} may also be a
+local file path (with or without \texttt{file://} prefix), if it doesn't
+correspond to an existing file and the URL has no scheme \texttt{http://} is
+prepended to it by default.
Returns \true if the application was successfully launched.
\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}.
