Detailed Description

wxGenericValidator performs data transfer (but not validation or filtering) for many type of controls.

wxGenericValidator supports:

It checks the type of the window and uses an appropriate type for it. For example, wxButton and wxTextCtrl transfer data to and from a wxString variable; wxListBox uses a wxArrayInt; wxCheckBox uses a boolean.
