replace standard art with their own version. All

There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your code and use
platform native icons as provided by \helpref{wxArtProvider::GetBitmap}{wxartprovidergetbitmap} or
\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetIcon}{wxartprovidergeticon} (NB: this is not yet really

have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these

This is {\bf not} part of wxArtProvider's public API, use
\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetBitmap}{wxartprovidergetbitmap} or
+\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetIconBundle}{wxartprovidergeticonbundle} or
\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetIcon}{wxartprovidergeticon}
to query wxArtProvider for a resource.

+\func{wxIconBundle}{CreateIconBundle}{\param{const wxArtID\& }{id}, \param{const wxArtClient\& }{client}}
+
+This method is similar to \helpref{CreateBitmap}{wxartprovidercreatebitmap} but
+can be used when a bitmap (or an icon) exists in several sizes.
