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 \helpref{wxFileName::SplitPath}{wxfilenamesplitpath} global function
10to extract the filename from the path.

31Empty constructor.

34
35Constructs the object calling the \helpref{Add}{wxpathlistadd} function.

39
40\func{void}{AddEnvList}{\param{const wxString\& }{env\_variable}}
41
42Finds the value of the given environment variable, and adds all paths
43to the path list. Useful for finding files in the PATH variable, for
44example.

52
53The first form adds the given directory (the filename if present is removed)
54to the path list, if the path is not already in the list.
55
56The second form just calls the first form on all elements of the given array.

60
61\func{void}{EnsureFileAccessible}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
62
63Given a full filename (with path), ensures that files in the same path
64can be accessed using the pathlist. It does this by stripping the
65filename and adding the path to the list if not already there.

69
70\constfunc{wxString}{FindAbsoluteValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
71
72Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
73successive members of the path list. If the file wasn't found, an empty
74string is returned.

79\constfunc{wxString}{FindValidPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}
80
81Searches for a full path for an existing file by appending {\it file} to
82successive members of the path list. If the file wasn't found, an empty string
83is returned. This path may be relative to the current working directory.
