\section{\class{wxAboutDialogInfo}}\label{wxaboutdialoginfo}

wxAboutDialogInfo contains information shown in the standard \textit{About}
dialog displayed by the \helpref{wxAboutBox()}{wxaboutbox} function.

This class contains the general information about the program, such as its
name, version, copyright and so on, as well as lists of the program developers,
documentation writers, artists and translators. The simple properties from the
former group are represented as a string with the exception of the program icon
and the program web site, while the lists from the latter group are stored as 
\helpref{wxArrayString}{wxarraystring} and can be either set entirely at once
using \helpref{SetDevelopers}{wxaboutdialoginfosetdevelopers} and similar
functions or built one by one using \helpref{AddDeveloper}{wxaboutdialoginfoadddeveloper} 
etc.

Please also notice that while all the main platforms have the native
implementation of the about dialog, they are often more limited than the
generic version provided by wxWidgets and so the generic version is used if
wxAboutDialogInfo has any fields not supported by the native version. Currently
GTK+ version supports all the possible fields natively but MSW and Mac versions
don't support URLs, licence text nor custom icons in the about dialog and if
either of those is used, \helpref{wxAboutBox()}{wxaboutbox} will automatically
use the generic version so you should avoid specifying these fields to achieve
more native look and feel.

\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::wxAboutDialogInfo}\label{wxaboutdialoginfowxaboutdialoginfo}

\func{}{wxAboutDialogInfo}{\void}

Default constructor leaves all fields are initially uninitialized, in general
you should call at least \helpref{SetVersion}{wxaboutdialoginfosetversion}, 
\helpref{SetCopyright}{wxaboutdialoginfosetcopyright} and 
\helpref{SetDescription}{wxaboutdialoginfosetdescription}.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::AddArtist}\label{wxaboutdialoginfoaddartist}

\func{void}{AddArtist}{\param{const wxString\& }{artist}}

Adds an artist name to be shown in the program credits.

\helpref{SetArtists}{wxaboutdialoginfosetartists}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::AddDeveloper}\label{wxaboutdialoginfoadddeveloper}

\func{void}{AddDeveloper}{\param{const wxString\& }{developer}}

Adds a developer name to be shown in the program credits.

\helpref{SetDevelopers}{wxaboutdialoginfosetdevelopers}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::AddDocWriter}\label{wxaboutdialoginfoadddocwriter}

\func{void}{AddDocWriter}{\param{const wxString\& }{docwriter}}

Adds a documentation writer name to be shown in the program credits.

\helpref{SetDocWriters}{wxaboutdialoginfosetdocwriters}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::AddTranslator}\label{wxaboutdialoginfoaddtranslator}

\func{void}{AddTranslator}{\param{const wxString\& }{translator}}

Adds a translator name to be shown in the program credits. Notice that if no
translator names are specified explicitely, \helpref{wxAboutBox()}{wxaboutbox} 
will try to use the translation of the string \texttt{translator-credits} from
the currently used message catalog -- this can be used to show just the name of
the translator of the program in the current language.

\helpref{SetTranslators}{wxaboutdialoginfosettranslators}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetArtists}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetartists}

\func{void}{SetArtists}{\param{const wxArrayString\& }{artists}}

Sets the the list of artists to be shown in the program credits.

\helpref{AddArtist}{wxaboutdialoginfoaddartist}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetCopyright}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetcopyright}

\func{void}{SetCopyright}{\param{const wxString\& }{copyright}}

Set the short string containing the program copyright information. Notice that
any occurrences of \texttt{"(C)"} in \arg{copyright} will be replaced by the
copyright symbol (circled C) automatically, which means that you can avoid
using this symbol in the program source code which can be problematic,


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetDescription}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetdescription}

\func{void}{SetDescription}{\param{const wxString\& }{desc}}

Set brief, but possibly multiline, description of the program.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetDevelopers}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetdevelopers}

\func{void}{SetDevelopers}{\param{const wxArrayString\& }{developers}}

Set the list of developers of the program.

\helpref{AddDeveloper}{wxaboutdialoginfoadddeveloper}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetDocWriters}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetdocwriters}

\func{void}{SetDocWriters}{\param{const wxArrayString\& }{docwriters}}

Set the list of documentation writers.

\helpref{AddDocWriter}{wxaboutdialoginfoadddocwriter}


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetIcon}\label{wxaboutdialoginfoseticon}

\func{void}{SetIcon}{\param{const wxIcon\& }{icon}}

Set the icon to be shown in the dialog. By default the icon of the main frame
will be shown if the native about dialog supports custom icons. If it doesn't
but a valid icon is specified using this method, the generic about dialog is
used instead so you should avoid calling this function for maximally native
look and feel.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetLicence}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetlicence}

\func{void}{SetLicence}{\param{const wxString\& }{licence}}

Set the long, multiline string containing the text of the program licence.

Only GTK+ version supports showing the licence text in the native about dialog
currently so the generic version will be used under all the other platforms if
this method is called. To preserve the native look and feel it is advised that
you do not call this method but provide a separate menu item in the 
\texttt{"Help"} menu for displaying the text of your program licence.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetLicense}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetlicense}

\func{void}{SetLicense}{\param{const wxString\& }{licence}}

This is the same as \helpref{SetLicence}{wxaboutdialoginfosetlicence}.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetName}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetname}

\func{void}{SetName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}

Set the name of the program. If this method is not called, the string returned
by \helpref{wxApp::GetAppName()}{wxappgetappname} will be shown in the dialog.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetTranslators}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosettranslators}

\func{void}{SetTranslators}{\param{const wxArrayString\& }{translators}}

Set the list of translators. Please see 
\helpref{AddTranslator}{wxaboutdialoginfoaddtranslator} for additional
discussion.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetVersion}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetversion}

\func{void}{SetVersion}{\param{const wxString\& }{version}}

Set the version of the program. The version is in free format, i.e. not
necessarily in the \texttt{x.y.z} form but it shouldn't contain the "version"
word.


\membersection{wxAboutDialogInfo::SetWebSite}\label{wxaboutdialoginfosetwebsite}

\func{void}{SetWebSite}{\param{const wxString\& }{url}, \param{const wxString\& }{desc = wxEmptyString}}

Set the web site for the program and its description (which defaults to URL
itself if empty).

Please notice that only GTK+ version currently supports showing the link in the
native about dialog so if this method is called, the generic version will be
used under all the other platforms.
