 \section{\class{wxDynamicLibrary}}\label{wxdynamiclibrary}
 
 wxDynamicLibrary is a class representing dynamically loadable library
-(Windows DLL, shared library under Unix etc.). It is implemented as a wrapper
-to \helpref{wxDllLoader}{wxdllloader}.
+(Windows DLL, shared library under Unix etc.). Just create an object of
+this class to load a library and don't worry about unloading it -- it will be
+done in the objects destructor automatically.

+
+The second version is only used if you need to keep the library in memory
+during a longer period of time than the scope of the wxDynamicLibrary object.
+In this case you may call \helpref{Detach}{wxdynamiclibrarydetach} and store
+the handle somewhere and call this static method later to unload it.
