module Wx

  # Creates and returns an object of the given class, if the class has been registered with the dynamic class system using DECLARE... and IMPLEMENT... macros.
  # @param className [String] 
  # @return [Wx::Object]
  def self.create_dynamic_object(className) end
  
  # This is the root class of many of the wxWidgets classes.
  # It declares a virtual destructor which ensures that destructors get called for all derived class objects where necessary.
  # {Wx::Object} 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 <b>new</b> and <b>delete</b>, which can help trace memory allocation and deallocation problems.
  # {Wx::Object} can be used to implement reference counted objects, such as {Wx::Pen}, {Wx::Bitmap} and others (see this list). See {Wx::RefCounter} and Reference Counting for more info about reference counting.
