Description
===========

This is the root class of all wxWidgets classes. It declares a virtual destructor which ensures that destructors get called 
for all derived class objects where necessary.

`wx.Object` is the hub of a dynamic object creation scheme, enabling a program to create instances of a class only knowing its 
string class name, and to query the class hierarchy.

`wx.Object` can be used to implement reference counted objects, such as `wx.Pen <wx.Pen.html>`_, `wx.Bitmap <wx.Bitmap.html>`_ and others.

Methods
^^^^^^^


.. method:: __init__()

   `No docstrings available for this method.` 

--------

.. method:: Destroy()

   Deletes the C++ object this Python object is a proxy for.
   
--------

.. method:: GetClassName()

   Returns the class name of the C++ class using wx.RTTI.
   
   |   
   
   **Returns:**

   `string` 

--------

.. method:: IsSameAs(obj)

   Returns ``True`` if this object has the same data pointer as `obj`. 
   
   This function only does a **shallow** comparison, i.e. it doesn't compare the objects pointed to by the data pointers of these objects.

   **Parameters:**

   * `obj` (`wx.Object <wx.Object.html>`_) 

   |  

   **Returns:**

   `bool` 

.. note:: Notice that ``True`` is returned if the data pointers are ``None`` in both objects.
