\section{\class{wxDataObject}}\label{wxdataobject}

A wxDataObject represents data that can be copied to or from the clipboard, or
dragged and dropped.

There are several predefined data object classes, such as \helpref{wxFileDataObject}{wxfiledataobject}, 
\helpref{wxTextDataObject}{wxtextdataobject}, and \helpref{wxBitmapDataObject}{wxbitmapdataobject}.

You may also derive your own data object classes for user-defined types.

TODO: how do user-defined types work?
