\section{\class{wxDocument}}\label{wxdocument}

The document class can be used to model an application's file-based
data. It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWindows,
and cooperates with the \helpref{wxView}{wxview}, \helpref{wxDocTemplate}{wxdoctemplate}\rtfsp
and \helpref{wxDocManager}{wxdocmanager} classes.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_commandProcessor}

\member{wxCommandProcessor*}{m\_commandProcessor}

A pointer to the command processor associated with this document.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentFile}

\member{wxString}{m\_documentFile}

Filename associated with this document (``" if none).

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentModified}

\member{bool}{m\_documentModified}

TRUE if the document has been modified, FALSE otherwise.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentTemplate}

\member{wxDocTemplate *}{m\_documentTemplate}

A pointer to the template from which this document was created.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentTitle}

\member{wxString}{m\_documentTitle}

Document title. The document title is used for an associated
frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from
the filename.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentTypeName}\label{documenttypename}

\member{wxString}{m\_documentTypeName}

The document type name given to the wxDocTemplate constructor, copied to this
variable when the document is created. If several document templates are
created that use the same document type, this variable is used in wxDocManager::CreateView
to collate a list of alternative view types that can be used on this kind of
document. Do not change the value of this variable.

\membersection{wxDocument::m\_documentViews}

\member{wxList}{m\_documentViews}

List of wxView instances associated with this document.

\membersection{wxDocument::wxDocument}

\func{}{wxDocument}{\void}

Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize application-specific
data.

\membersection{wxDocument::\destruct{wxDocument}}

\func{}{\destruct{wxDocument}}{\void}

Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.

\membersection{wxDocument::AddView}

\func{virtual bool}{AddView}{\param{wxView *}{view}}

If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and calls OnChangedViewList.

\membersection{wxDocument::Close}

\func{virtual bool}{Close}{\void}

Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified and then (if this returned TRUE) OnCloseDocument.
This does not normally delete the document object: use DeleteAllViews to do this implicitly.

\membersection{wxDocument::DeleteAllViews}

\func{virtual bool}{DeleteAllViews}{\void}

Calls wxView::Close and deletes each view. Deleting the final view will implicitly
delete the document itself, because the wxView destructor calls RemoveView. This
in turns calls wxDocument::OnChangedViewList, whose default implemention is to
save and delete the document if no views exist.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetCommandProcessor}

\constfunc{wxCommandProcessor*}{GetCommandProcessor}{\void}

Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this document.

See \helpref{wxCommandProcessor}{wxcommandprocessor}.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetDocumentTemplate}

\constfunc{wxDocTemplate*}{GetDocumentTemplate}{\void}

Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetDocumentManager}

\constfunc{wxDocManager*}{GetDocumentManager}{\void}

Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetDocumentName}

\constfunc{wxString}{GetDocumentName}{\void}

Gets the document type name for this document. See the comment for \helpref{documentTypeName}{documenttypename}.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetDocumentWindow}

\constfunc{wxWindow*}{GetDocumentWindow}{\void}

Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for document-related
dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated with the first view.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetFilename}

\constfunc{wxString}{GetFilename}{\void}

Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
associated.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetFirstView}\label{wxdocumentgetfirstview}

\constfunc{wxView *}{GetFirstView}{\void}

A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because
in many cases a document will only have a single view.

See also: \helpref{GetViews}{wxdocumentgetviews}

\membersection{wxDocument::GetPrintableName}

\constfunc{virtual void}{GetPrintableName}{\param{wxString\& }{name}}

Copies a suitable document name into the supplied {\it name} buffer. The default
function uses the title, or if there is no title, uses the filename; or if no
filename, the string {\bf unnamed}. 

\membersection{wxDocument::GetTitle}

\constfunc{wxString}{GetTitle}{\void}

Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an associated
frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from
the filename.

\membersection{wxDocument::GetViews}\label{wxdocumentgetviews}

\constfunc{wxList \&}{GetViews}{\void}

Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.

See also: \helpref{GetFirstView}{wxdocumentgetfirstview}

\membersection{wxDocument::IsModified}\label{wxdocumentismodified}

\constfunc{virtual bool}{IsModified}{\void}

Returns TRUE if the document has been modified since the last save, FALSE otherwise.
You may need to override this if your document view maintains its own
record of being modified (for example if using wxTextWindow to view and edit the document).

See also \helpref{Modify}{wxdocumentmodify}.

\membersection{wxDocument::LoadObject}

\func{virtual istream\&}{LoadObject}{\param{istream\& }{stream}}

\func{virtual wxInputStream\&}{LoadObject}{\param{wxInputStream\& }{stream}}

Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject before
streaming your own data. LoadObject is called by the framework
automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.

Note that only one of these forms exists, depending on how wxWindows
was configured.

\membersection{wxDocument::Modify}\label{wxdocumentmodify}

\func{virtual void}{Modify}{\param{bool}{ modify}}

Call with TRUE to mark the document as modified since the last save, FALSE otherwise.
You may need to override this if your document view maintains its own
record of being modified (for example if using wxTextWindow to view and edit the document).

See also \helpref{IsModified}{wxdocumentismodified}.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnChangedViewList}

\func{virtual void}{OnChangedViewList}{\void}

Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The default
implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist (the last
one has just been removed).

\membersection{wxDocument::OnCloseDocument}

\func{virtual bool}{OnCloseDocument}{\void}

The default implementation calls DeleteContents (an empty implementation)
sets the modified flag to FALSE. Override this to
supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with Close.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnCreate}

\func{virtual bool}{OnCreate}{\param{const wxString\& }{path}, \param{long}{ flags}}

Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance
to initialize itself. The default implementation uses the
template associated with the document to create an initial view.
If this function returns FALSE, the document is deleted.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnCreateCommandProcessor}

\func{virtual wxCommandProcessor*}{OnCreateCommandProcessor}{\void}

Override this function if you want a different (or no) command processor
to be created when the document is created. By default, it returns
an instance of wxCommandProcessor.

See \helpref{wxCommandProcessor}{wxcommandprocessor}.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnNewDocument}

\func{virtual bool}{OnNewDocument}{\void}

The default implementation calls OnSaveModified and DeleteContents, makes a default title for the
document, and notifies the views that the filename (in fact, the title) has changed.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnOpenDocument}

\func{virtual bool}{OnOpenDocument}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}

Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not be empty),
and calls LoadObject. If LoadObject returns TRUE, the document is set to
unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is displayed. The document's
views are notified that the filename has changed, to give windows an opportunity
to update their titles. All of the document's views are then updated.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnSaveDocument}

\func{virtual bool}{OnSaveDocument}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}

Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not be empty),
and calls SaveObject. If SaveObject returns TRUE, the document is set to
unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is displayed.

\membersection{wxDocument::OnSaveModified}

\func{virtual bool}{OnSaveModified}{\void}

If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the changes should
be changed. If the user replies Yes, the Save function is called. If No, the
document is marked as unmodified and the function succeeds. If Cancel, the
function fails.

\membersection{wxDocument::RemoveView}

\func{virtual bool}{RemoveView}{\param{wxView* }{view}}

Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls OnChangedViewList.

\membersection{wxDocument::Save}

\func{virtual bool}{Save}{\void}

Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument if there is an associated filename,
or SaveAs if there is no filename.

\membersection{wxDocument::SaveAs}

\func{virtual bool}{SaveAs}{\void}

Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls OnSaveDocument.

\membersection{wxDocument::SaveObject}

\func{virtual ostream\&}{SaveObject}{\param{ostream\& }{stream}}

\func{virtual wxOutputStream\&}{SaveObject}{\param{wxOutputStream\& }{stream}}

Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject before
streaming your own data. SaveObject is called by the framework
automatically when the document contents need to be saved.

Note that only one of these forms exists, depending on how wxWindows
was configured.

\membersection{wxDocument::SetCommandProcessor}

\func{virtual void}{SetCommandProcessor}{\param{wxCommandProcessor *}{processor}}

Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document will then be responsible
for its deletion. Normally you should not call this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor
instead.

See \helpref{wxCommandProcessor}{wxcommandprocessor}.

\membersection{wxDocument::SetDocumentName}

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

Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for \helpref{documentTypeName}{documenttypename}.

\membersection{wxDocument::SetDocumentTemplate}

\func{void}{SetDocumentTemplate}{\param{wxDocTemplate* }{templ}}

Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only be called by the
framework.

\membersection{wxDocument::SetFilename}

\func{void}{SetFilename}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}, \param{bool}{ notifyViews = FALSE}}

Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.

If {\it notifyViews} is TRUE, wxView::OnChangeFilename is called for all views.

\membersection{wxDocument::SetTitle}

\func{void}{SetTitle}{\param{const wxString\& }{title}}

Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an associated
frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from
the filename.

\membersection{wxDocument::UpdateAllViews}\label{wxdocumentupdateallviews}

\func{void}{UpdateAllViews}{\param{wxView* }{sender = NULL}, \param{wxObject*}{ hint = NULL}}

Updates all views. If {\it sender} is non-NULL, does not update this view.

{\it hint} represents optional information to allow a view to optimize its update.
