+The module system is a very simple mechanism to allow applications (and parts of wxWidgets itself) to
+define initialization and cleanup functions that are automatically called on wxWidgets
startup and exit.
To define a new kind of module, derive a class from wxModule, override the OnInit and OnExit functions,
and add the DECLARE\_DYNAMIC\_CLASS and IMPLEMENT\_DYNAMIC\_CLASS to header and implementation files
-(which can be the same file). On initialization, wxWindows will find all classes derived from wxModule,
-create an instance of each, and call each OnInit function. On exit, wxWindows will call the OnExit
+(which can be the same file). On initialization, wxWidgets will find all classes derived from wxModule,
+create an instance of each, and call each OnInit function. On exit, wxWidgets will call the OnExit
function for each module instance.
Note that your module class does not have to be in a header file.
DECLARE_DYNAMIC_CLASS(wxDDEModule)
public:
wxDDEModule() {}
- bool OnInit() { wxDDEInitialize(); return TRUE; };
+ bool OnInit() { wxDDEInitialize(); return true; };
void OnExit() { wxDDECleanUp(); };
};

Destructor.

-
-\func{static void}{CleanupModules}{\void}
-
-Calls Exit for each module instance. Called by wxWindows on exit, so there is no
-need for an application to call it.
-
-\membersection{wxModule::Exit}\label{wxmoduleexit}
-
-\func{void}{Exit}{\void}
-
-Calls OnExit. This function is called by wxWindows and should not need to be called
-by an application.
-
-\membersection{wxModule::Init}\label{wxmoduleinit}
-
-\func{bool}{Init}{\void}
-
-Calls OnInit. This function is called by wxWindows and should not need to be called
-by an application.
-
-\membersection{wxModule::InitializeModules}\label{wxmoduleinitializemodules}
-
-\func{static bool}{InitializeModules}{\void}
-
-Calls Init for each module instance. Called by wxWindows on startup, so there is no
-need for an application to call it.
-
\membersection{wxModule::OnExit}\label{wxmoduleonexit}
\func{virtual void}{OnExit}{\void}
\func{virtual bool}{OnInit}{\void}
Provide this function with appropriate initialization for your module. If the function
-returns FALSE, wxWindows will exit immediately.

-\membersection{wxModule::RegisterModule}\label{wxmoduleregistermodule}
-
-\func{static void}{RegisterModule}{\param{wxModule*}{ module}}
-
-Registers this module with wxWindows. Called by wxWindows on startup, so there is no
-need for an application to call it.
-
-\membersection{wxModule::RegisterModules}\label{wxmoduleregistermodules}
-
-\func{static bool}{RegisterModules}{\void}
-
-Creates instances of and registers all modules. Called by wxWindows on startup, so there is no
-need for an application to call it.
+returns false, wxWidgets will exit immediately.
