3wxTextDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObject for text data. It can be
4used without change to paste data into the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}
5or a \helpref{wxDropSource}{wxdropsource}. A user may wish to derive a new class
6from this class for providing text on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption
7when offering data in several formats, such as plain text and RTF.
8
9In order to offer text data on-demand \helpref{GetSize}{wxtextdataobjectgetsize}
10and \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata} will have to be overridden.

27
28\func{}{wxTextDataObject}{\void}
29
30Default constructor. Call \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext} later
31or override \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata} and
32\helpref{GetSize}{wxtextdataobjectgetsize} for providing data on-demand.
33
34\func{}{wxTextDataObject}{\param{const wxString\& }{strText}}
35
36Constructor, passing text.
37
38\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetSize}\label{wxtextdataobjectgetsize}
39
40\constfunc{virtual size\_t}{GetSize}{\void}
41
42Returns the data size. By default, returns the size of the text data
43set in the constructor or using \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext}.
44This can be overridden to provide text size data on-demand. It is recommended
45to return the text length plus 1 for a trailing zero, but this is not
46strictly required.
47
48\membersection{wxTextDataObject::GetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectgettext}
49
50\constfunc{virtual wxString}{GetText}{\void}
51
52Returns the text associated with the data object. You may wish to override
53this method when offering data on-demand, but this is not required by
54wxWindows' internals. Use this method to get data in text form from
55the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}.
56
57\membersection{wxTextDataObject::SetText}\label{wxtextdataobjectsettext}
58
59\func{virtual void}{SetText}{\param{const wxString\& }{strText}}
60
61Sets the text associated with the data object. This method is called
62internally when retrieving data from the \helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard}
63and may be used to paste data to the clipboard directly (instead of
64on-demand).
65
66\membersection{wxTextDataObject::WriteData}\label{wxtextdataobjectwritedata}
67
68\constfunc{virtual void}{WriteData}{\param{void}{*dest} }
69
70Write the data owned by this class to {\it dest}. By default, this
71calls \helpref{WriteString}{wxtextdataobjectwritestring} with the string
72set in the constructor or using \helpref{SetText}{wxtextdataobjectsettext}.
73This can be overridden to provide text data on-demand; in this case
74\helpref{WriteString}{wxtextdataobjectwritestring} must be called from
75within the overriding WriteData() method.
76
77\membersection{wxTextDataObject::WriteString}\label{wxtextdataobjectwritestring}
78
79\constfunc{void}{WriteString}{\param{const wxString\& }{str}\param{void}{*dest} }
80
81Writes the the string {\it str} to {\it dest}. This method must be called
82from \helpref{WriteData}{wxtextdataobjectwritedata}.
