3The path list is a convenient way of storing a number of directories, and
4when presented with a filename without a directory, searching for an existing file
5in those directories. Storing the filename only in an application's files and
6using a locally-defined list of directories makes the application and its files more
7portable.
8
9Use the {\it wxFileNameFromPath} global function to extract the filename
10from the path.

28
29\func{}{wxPathList}{\void}
30
31Constructor.
32
33\membersection{wxPathList::AddEnvList}
34
35\func{void}{AddEnvList}{\param{const wxString\& }{env\_variable}}
36
37Finds the value of the given environment variable, and adds all paths
38to the path list. Useful for finding files in the PATH variable, for
39example.
40
41\membersection{wxPathList::Add}
42
43\func{void}{Add}{\param{const wxString\& }{path}}
44
45Adds the given directory to the path list, but does not
46check if the path was already on the list (use wxPathList::Member)
47for this).
48
49\membersection{wxPathList::EnsureFileAccessible}
50
51\func{void}{EnsureFileAccessible}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
52
53Given a full filename (with path), ensures that files in the same path
54can be accessed using the pathlist. It does this by stripping the
55filename and adding the path to the list if not already there.
56
57\membersection{wxPathList::FindAbsoluteValidPath}
58
59\func{wxString}{FindAbsoluteValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
60
61Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
62successive members of the path list. If the file exists, a temporary
63pointer to the absolute path is returned.
64
65\membersection{wxPathList::FindValidPath}
66
67\func{wxString}{FindValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
68
69Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
70successive members of the path list. If the file exists, a temporary
71pointer to the full path is returned. This path may be relative to the current
72working directory.
73
74\membersection{wxPathList::Member}
75
76\func{bool}{Member}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
77
78TRUE if the path is in the path list (ignoring case).
