Hi,
I could not find any practical usage for the default
Wx::RichTextBuffer->new(); constructor which I am fairly sure is really
only for use within wxRichTextCtrl.
As far as I can see from all the wxWidgets RichText code and the
wxWidgets docs, there isn't a practical 'user' use for
Wx::RichTextBuffer->new().
Note: it isn't quite as simple as just wrapping the method as generally
in the wxWidgets code other classes control wxRichTextBuffer destruction
- so we would need to track within Perl whether any wxRichTextBuffer
instances created using Wx::RichTextBuffer->new() need to be deleted by
Perl code, or have been assigned to some other class. We do this with
many other classes, but as it seems to me impractical to do anything
useful with Wx::RichTextBuffer->new(), I have not bothered wrapping it.
If you have a practical use that I've missed, I'll add it to the 'todo'
list.
Regards
Mark
