+This is helper template class primarily written to avoid memory 
+leaks because of missing calls to \helpref{wxObjectRefData::DecRef}{wxobjectrefdatadecref}.

 
 

-Despite the name this template can actually be used for any
-class implementing the reference counting interface and it
-does not use or depend on wxObject.
+Despite the name this template can actually be used as a
+smart pointer for any class implementing the reference
+counting interface which only consists of the two methods
+{\bf T::IncRef()} and {\bf T::DecRef()}.
+
+The difference to \helpref{wxSharedPtr}{wxsharedptr} is that
+wxObjectDataPtr relies on the reference counting to be in
+the class pointed to where as wxSharedPtr implements the
+reference counting itself.
