8Classes derived from wxFileSystemHandler are used
9to access virtual file systems. Its public interface consists
10of two methods: \helpref{CanOpen}{wxfilesystemhandlercanopen}
11and \helpref{OpenFile}{wxfilesystemhandleropenfile}.
12It provides additional protected methods to simplify the process
13of opening the file: GetProtocol, GetLeftLocation, GetRightLocation,
14GetAnchor, GetMimeTypeFromExt.
15
16Please have a look at \helpref{overview}{fs} if you don't know how locations
17are constructed.
18
19Also consult \helpref{list of available handlers}{fs}.

21\wxheading{Notes}
22
23\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
24\item The handlers are shared by all instances of wxFileSystem.
25\item wxHTML library provides handlers for local files and HTTP or FTP protocol
26\item The {\it location} parameter passed to OpenFile or CanOpen methods
27is always an {\bf absolute} path. You don't need to check the FS's current path.
28\end{itemize}

47\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::wxFileSystemHandler}\label{wxfilesystemhandlerwxfilesystemhandler}
48
49\func{}{wxFileSystemHandler}{\void}
50
51Constructor.
52
53\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::CanOpen}\label{wxfilesystemhandlercanopen}
54
55\func{virtual bool}{CanOpen}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
56
57Returns TRUE if the handler is able to open this file. This function doesn't
58check whether the file exists or not, it only checks if it knows the protocol.
59Example:
60
61\begin{verbatim}
62bool MyHand::CanOpen(const wxString& location)
63{
64 return (GetProtocol(location) == "http");
65}
66\end{verbatim}
67
68Must be overridden in derived handlers.
69
70\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::GetAnchor}\label{wxfilesystemhandlergetanchor}
71
72\constfunc{wxString}{GetAnchor}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
73
74Returns the anchor if present in the location.
75See \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfilegetanchor} for details.
76
77Example: GetAnchor("index.htm\#chapter2") == "chapter2"
78
79{\bf Note:} the anchor is NOT part of the left location.
80
81\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::GetLeftLocation}\label{wxfilesystemhandlergetleftlocation}
82
83\constfunc{wxString}{GetLeftLocation}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
84
85Returns the left location string extracted from {\it location}.
86
87Example: GetLeftLocation("file:myzipfile.zip\#zip:index.htm") == "file:myzipfile.zip"
88
89\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::GetMimeTypeFromExt}\label{wxfilesystemhandlergetmimetypefromext}
90
91\func{wxString}{GetMimeTypeFromExt}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
92
93Returns the MIME type based on {\bf extension} of {\it location}. (While wxFSFile::GetMimeType
94returns real MIME type - either extension-based or queried from HTTP.)
95
96Example : GetMimeTypeFromExt("index.htm") == "text/html"
97
98\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::GetProtocol}\label{wxfilesystemhandlergetprotocol}
99
100\constfunc{wxString}{GetProtocol}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
101
102Returns the protocol string extracted from {\it location}.
103
104Example: GetProtocol("file:myzipfile.zip\#zip:index.htm") == "zip"
105
106\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::GetRightLocation}\label{wxfilesystemhandlergetrightlocation}
107
108\constfunc{wxString}{GetRightLocation}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
109
110Returns the right location string extracted from {\it location}.
111
112Example : GetRightLocation("file:myzipfile.zip\#zip:index.htm") == "index.htm"
113
114\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::FindFirst}\label{wxfilesystemhandlerfindfirst}
115
116\func{virtual wxString}{FindFirst}{\param{const wxString\& }{wildcard}, \param{int }{flags = 0}}
117
118Works like \helpref{wxFindFirstFile}{wxfindfirstfile}. Returns name of the first
119filename (withing filesystem's current path) that matches {\it wildcard}. {\it flags} may be one of
120wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
121
122This method is only called if \helpref{CanOpen}{wxfilesystemhandlercanopen} returns TRUE.
123
124\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::FindNext}\label{wxfilesystemhandlerfindnext}
125
126\func{virtual wxString}{FindNext}{\void}
127
128Returns next filename that matches parameters passed to \helpref{FindFirst}{wxfilesystemfindfirst}.
129
130This method is only called if \helpref{CanOpen}{wxfilesystemhandlercanopen} returns TRUE and FindFirst
131returned a non-empty string.
132
133\membersection{wxFileSystemHandler::OpenFile}\label{wxfilesystemhandleropenfile}
134
135\func{virtual wxFSFile*}{OpenFile}{\param{wxFileSystem\& }{fs}, \param{const wxString\& }{location}}
136
137Opens the file and returns wxFSFile pointer or NULL if failed.
138
139Must be overridden in derived handlers.
140
141\wxheading{Parameters}
142
143\docparam{fs}{Parent FS (the FS from that OpenFile was called). See ZIP handler
144for details of how to use it.}
145
146\docparam{location}{The {\bf absolute} location of file.}
