This group defines all major function and macro groups.
Modules | |
| Application Initialization and Termination | |
| The functions in this section are used on application startup/shutdown and also to control the behaviour of the main event loop of the GUI programs. | |
| Atomic Operations | |
| When using multi-threaded applications, it is often required to access or modify memory which is shared between threads. | |
| Byte Order | |
| The endian-ness issues (that is the difference between big-endian and little-endian architectures) are important for the portable programs working with the external binary data (for example, data files or data coming from network) which is usually in some fixed, platform-independent format. | |
| Debugging macros | |
| Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming. | |
| Dialogs | |
| Below are a number of convenience functions for getting input from the user or displaying messages. | |
| Environment | |
| These functions allow access to get or change the values of environment variables in a portable way. | |
| Events | |
| Below are a number of functions/macros used with wxWidgets event-handling system. | |
| Files and Directories | |
| These functions provide a platform-independent API for common file and directory functionality. | |
| Graphics Device Interface (GDI) | |
| The following are functions and macros related to GDI (Graphics Device Interface) access. | |
| Locale-dependent functions | |
| Below are a number of functions/macros which accept as last parameter a specific wxXLocale instance. | |
| Logging | |
| These functions provide a variety of logging functions. | |
| Math | |
| The functions in this section are typically related with math operations and floating point numbers. | |
| Miscellaneous | |
| Group of miscellaneous functions and macros. | |
| Network, User and OS | |
| The functions in this section are used to retrieve information about the current computer and/or user characteristics. | |
| Process Control | |
| The functions in this section are used to launch or terminate the other processes. | |
| Runtime Type Information (RTTI) | |
| wxWidgets uses its own RTTI ("run-time type identification") system which predates the current standard C++ RTTI and so is kept for backwards compatibility reasons but also because it allows some things which the standard RTTI doesn't directly support (such as creating a class from its name). | |
| Strings | |
| Global string functions and macros. | |
| Threads | |
| The functions and macros here mainly exist to make it possible to write code which may be compiled in multi thread build (wxUSE_THREADS = 1) as well as in single thread configuration (wxUSE_THREADS = 0). | |
| Time | |
| The functions in this section deal with getting the current time and sleeping for the specified time interval. | |
| Versioning | |
| The following constants are defined in wxWidgets: | |
| Wrappers of CRT functions | |
| For documentation of these functions please refer to the documentation of the standard CRT functions (see e.g. http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/c/start). | |
