What is Set-/GetName() on wxWindow class used for? Topic is solved

[sparhawk]

I noticed that wxWindow has a SetName() and GetName() function https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_ ... 01dbaaf990. Does this have any intrinsic meaning, or can this freely be used? Since I have windows which have not titles, I would like to set the name to the "title" for such windows, so I can retrieve it later when I convert such a window into one that has a title.
For example; When I convert a tab from wxNotebook to a wxSplitter I want to remember the value of the tab, so when it is convert back again to a tab, I can set it again to it's original value.

From the documentation it appears that this name has no special meaning and also doesn't need to be unique.

Yes, you can freely use it for any purpose. AFAIK it's not used by wxWidgets internally.

I've used it on a few occasions to find a window using wxWindow::FindWindowByName() to avoid having to pass a pointer around.
