+\func{static wxString}{CanonicalizeName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxDynamicLibraryCategory}{ cat = wxDL\_LIBRARY}}
Returns the platform-specific full name for the library called \arg{name}. E.g.
it adds a {\tt ".dll"} extension under Windows and {\tt "lib"} prefix and

+\func{static wxString}{CanonicalizePluginName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPluginCategory}{ cat = wxDL\_PLUGIN\_GUI}}
This function does the same thing as
\helpref{CanonicalizeName}{wxdynamiclibrarycanonicalizename} but for wxWidgets
Detaches this object from its library handle, i.e. the object will not unload
the library any longer in its destructor but it is now the callers

+\constfunc{void *}{GetSymbolAorW}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
+
+This function is available only under Windows as it is only useful when
+dynamically loading symbols from standard Windows DLLs. Such functions have
+either \texttt{'A'} (in ANSI build) or \texttt{'W'} (in Unicode, or wide
+character build) suffix if they take string parameters. Using this function you
+can use just the base name of the function and the correct suffix is appende
+automatically depending on the current build. Otherwise, this method is
+identical to \helpref{GetSymbol}{wxdynamiclibrarygetsymbol}.
+
+
+\membersection{wxDynamicLibrary::GetProgramHandle}\label{wxdynamiclibrarygetprogramhandle}
+
+\func{static wxDllType}{GetProgramHandle}{\void}
+
+Return a valid handle for the main program itself or \texttt{NULL} if symbols
+from the main program can't be loaded on this platform.

\membersection{wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol}\label{wxdynamiclibraryhassymbol}
\constfunc{bool}{HasSymbol}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
This static method returns an \helpref{array}{wxarray} containing the details
of all modules loaded into the address space of the current project, the array
elements are object of \texttt{wxDynamicLibraryDetails} class. The array will
-be empty if an error occured.

\twocolitem{wxDL\_GLOBAL}{equivalent of RTLD\_GLOBAL under Unix, ignored elsewhere}
\twocolitem{wxDL\_VERBATIM}{don't try to append the appropriate extension to
the library name (this is done by default).}
+\twocolitem{wxDL\_DEFAULT}{default flags, same as wxDL\_NOW currently}
\end{twocollist}
Returns \true if the library was successfully loaded, \false otherwise.
