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.

26
27Constructor.
28
29\membersection{wxPathList::AddEnvList}
30
31\func{void}{AddEnvList}{\param{const wxString\& }{env\_variable}}
32
33Finds the value of the given environment variable, and adds all paths
34to the path list. Useful for finding files in the PATH variable, for
35example.
36
37\membersection{wxPathList::Add}
38
39\func{void}{Add}{\param{const wxString\& }{path}}
40
41Adds the given directory to the path list, but does not
42check if the path was already on the list (use wxPathList::Member)
43for this).
44
45\membersection{wxPathList::EnsureFileAccessible}
46
47\func{void}{EnsureFileAccessible}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
48
49Given a full filename (with path), ensures that files in the same path
50can be accessed using the pathlist. It does this by stripping the
51filename and adding the path to the list if not already there.
52
53\membersection{wxPathList::FindAbsoluteValidPath}
54
55\func{wxString}{FindAbsoluteValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
56
57Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
58successive members of the path list. If the file exists, a temporary
59pointer to the absolute path is returned.
60
61\membersection{wxPathList::FindValidPath}
62
63\func{wxString}{FindValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
64
65Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
66successive members of the path list. If the file exists, a temporary
67pointer to the full path is returned. This path may be relative to the current
68working directory.
69
70\membersection{wxPathList::Member}
71
72\func{bool}{Member}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
73
74TRUE if the path is in the path list (ignoring case).
