## Detailed Description

### template<typename T>
class wxWindowPtr< T >

A reference-counted smart pointer for holding wxWindow instances.

This specialization of wxSharedPtr<T> is useful for holding wxWindow-derived objects. Unlike wxSharedPtr<T> or `std::shared_ptr<>`, it doesn't use the delete operator to destroy the value when reference count drops to zero, but calls wxWindow::Destroy() to safely destroy the window.

The template parameter T must be wxWindow or a class derived from it.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T >

wxWindowPtr< T >::wxWindowPtr | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

template<typename T >

wxWindowPtr< T >::wxWindowPtr | ( | T * | ptr | ) |
| explicit

Constructor.

Creates shared pointer from the raw pointer ptr and takes ownership of it.

template<typename T >
template<typename Deleter >

wxWindowPtr< T >::wxWindowPtr | ( | T * | ptr,
|  | Deleter | d
| ) |  |
| explicit

Constructor.

Creates shared pointer from the raw pointer ptr and deleter d and takes ownership of it.

Parameters

  ptr | The raw pointer.
  d | Deleter - a functor that is called instead of delete to free the ptr raw pointer when its reference count drops to zero.

template<typename T >

wxWindowPtr< T >::wxWindowPtr | ( | const wxWindowPtr< T > & | tocopy | ) |

Copy constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

wxWindowPtr<T>& wxWindowPtr< T >::operator= | ( | T * | ptr | ) |

Assignment operator.

Releases any previously held pointer and creates a reference to ptr.

template<typename T >

wxWindowPtr<T>& wxWindowPtr< T >::operator= | ( | const wxWindowPtr< T > & | tocopy | ) |

Assignment operator.

Releases any previously held pointer and creates a reference to the same object as topcopy.

template<typename T >

void wxWindowPtr< T >::reset | ( | T * | ptr = `NULL` | ) |

Reset pointer to ptr.

If the reference count of the previously owned pointer was 1 it will be deleted.
