.SH NAME
wxObject \- 
  Root class for classes with run-time information
 
.SH DESCRIPTION

  


   This is the root class of all wxWidgets classes. It declares a virtual
   destructor which ensures that destructors get called for all derived class
   objects where necessary.
  
  


   wxObject is the hub of a dynamic object creation scheme, enabling a program
   to create instances of a class only knowing its string class name, and to
   query the class hierarchy.
  
  


   The class contains optional debugging versions of
   
    new
   
   and
   
    delete
   
   , which can help trace memory allocation and deallocation problems.
  
  


   wxObject can be used to implement reference counted objects, such as wxPen,
   wxBitmap and others.

.SS  wxObject ()

.SS  wxObject (const wxObject& other)

     


      Default and copy constructors.
     
    
   
  
.SS  wxObject ()

     


      Destructor. Performs dereferencing, for those objects that use reference
      counting.
     
    
   
  
   
  
.SS void Dump (ostream& stream)

     


      A virtual function that may be redefined by derived classes to allow
      dumping of memory states.
     
     


      This function is only defined in debug build and doesn't exist at all if
      __WXDEBUG__
      is not defined.
     
    
   
  
.SS wxClassInfo * GetClassInfo ()

     


      This virtual function is redefined for every class that requires run-time
      type information, when using DECLARE_CLASS macros.
     
    
   
  
.SS wxObjectRefData* GetRefData ()

   
  
.SS bool IsKindOf (wxClassInfo *info)

     


      Determines whether this class is a subclass of (or the same class as) the
      given class.
     
    
   
  
.SS void Ref (const wxObject& clone)

   
  
.SS void SetRefData (wxObjectRefData* data)

   
  
.SS void UnRef ()

   
  
.SS void * new (size_t sizeconst wxString& filename = NULLint lineNum = 0)

     


      The
      
       new
      
      operator is defined for debugging versions of the library only, when the
      identifier __WXDEBUG__ is defined. It takes over memory allocation,
      allowing wxDebugContext operations.
     
    
   
  
.SS void delete (void buf)

     


      The
      
       delete
      
      operator is defined for debugging versions of the library only, when the
      identifier __WXDEBUG__ is defined. It takes over memory deallocation,
      allowing wxDebugContext operations.
