.. _wx.ClientDataContainer:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.ClientDataContainer**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class is a mixin that provides storage and management of "client data". 
         

This data can either be of type  - in which case the data `container`  does not take care of freeing the data again or it is of type `ClientData`       or its derivatives. In that case the container will free the memory itself later. Note that you `must`  not assign both  data and data derived from the `ClientData`       class to a container. 








         



.. note:: 

   This functionality is currently duplicated in :ref:`wx.EvtHandler`  in order to avoid having more than one vtable in that class hierarchy.  







.. seealso:: :ref:`wx.SharedClientDataContainer`, :ref:`wx.EvtHandler`, `ClientData`
