Is there a tutorial anywhere on using wxConfig? Or some example code?
I can't find anything on the wiki or in the demo (unless I'm blind).
Is it a good class to use for managing app configuration information?

John, I had the same question recently. Below are the helpful
responses I received from Robin and others. (Moral of the story: in
addition to the wiki, search the archives of the mail list also).

int Type_Boolean =
2 int
Type_Float = 4
int Type_Integer =
3 int
Type_String = 1
int Type_Unknown = 0

The Problem? In my test program below, regardless of 's entry_type, 1 is returned:
