No. This is a much-discussed topic that has (many times) ended with the conclusion that it is in
wxWidgets' best interests to avoid use of templates. Not all compilers can handle
templates adequately so it would dramatically reduce the number of compilers

wxWidgets dependent on another large library that may have to be downloaded and installed.
In addition, use of templates can lead to executable bloat, which is something

The standard C++ string class is not used, again because it is not available to all compilers,
and it is not necessarily a very efficient implementation. Also, we retain more flexibility

Because wxWidgets does not have a specific API for the <i>About</i> menu item or the <i>Help</i> menu, the Mac OS port uses some static variables to help the engine make the right decisions:
<ul>
<li>It assumes that the <i>About</i> menu item is part of a <i>Help</i> menu.
-<li>The title of the <i>Help</i> menu is stored in <code>wxApp::s_macHelpMenuTitleName</code>, it defaults to "&Help", but you can change it in your constructor to your specific menu title.

<li>The item Id of the <i>About</i> menu is stored in <code>wxApp::s_macAboutMenuItemID</code>, it defaults to <code>wxID_ABOUT</code>, but can be changed as well to suit your needs.
<li>The other items of the wxWidgets help menu are appended to the Mac OS <i>Help</i> menu and the translation of Ids is handled transparently for your application.
