\section{\class{wxTextDataObject}}\label{wxtextdataobject}
wxTextDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObject for text data. It can be
used without change to paste data into the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}
or a \helpref{wxDropSource}{wxdropsource}. A user may wish to derive a new class
from this class for providing text on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption
when offering data in several formats, such as plain text and RTF.
In order to offer text data on-demand \helpref{GetSize}{wxtextdataobjectgetsize}
and \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata} will have to be overridden.

\membersection{wxTextDataObject::wxTextDataObject}\label{wxtextdataobjectwxtextdataobject}
\func{}{wxTextDataObject}{\void}
Default constructor. Call \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext} later
or override \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata} and
\helpref{GetSize}{wxtextdataobjectgetsize} for providing data on-demand.
\func{}{wxTextDataObject}{\param{const wxString\& }{strText}}
Constructor, passing text.
\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetSize}\label{wxtextdataobjectgetsize}
\constfunc{virtual size\_t}{GetSize}{\void}
Returns the data size. By default, returns the size of the text data
set in the constructor or using \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext}.
This can be overridden to provide text size data on-demand. It is recommended
to return the text length plus 1 for a trailing zero, but this is not
strictly required.
\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectgettext}
\constfunc{virtual wxString}{GetText}{\void}
Returns the text associated with the data object. You may wish to override
this method when offering data on-demand, but this is not required by
wxWindows' internals. Use this method to get data in text form from
the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}.
\membersection{wxTextDataObject::SetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectsettext}
\func{virtual void}{SetText}{\param{const wxString\& }{strText}}
Sets the text associated with the data object. This method is called
internally when retrieving data from the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}
and may be used to paste data to the clipboard directly (instead of
on-demand).
\membersection{wxTextDataObject::WriteData}\label{wxtextdataobjectwritedata}
\constfunc{virtual void}{WriteData}{\param{void}{*dest} }
Write the data owned by this class to {\it dest}. By default, this
calls \helpref{WriteString}{wxtextobjectwritestring} with the string
set in the constructor or using \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext}.
This can be overridden to provide text data on-demand; in this case
\helpref{WriteString}{wxtextobjectwritestring} must be called from
within the overriding WriteData() method.
\membersection{wxTextDataObject::WriteString}\label{wxtextdataobjectwritestring}
\constfunc{void}{WriteString}{\param{const wxString\& }{str}\param{void}{*dest} }
Writes the the string {\it str} to {\it dest}. This method must be called
from \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata}.
