127 @class AutoCaptureMechanism
128
129 AutoCaptureMechanism provides an easy-to-use and adjustable facility to take the screenshots
130 for all controls fully automaticly and correctly. It also provides an advanced feature to
131 union screenshots of different states/modes of a control.
132
133 @section tag_filename_convention Screenshot File Name Convention
134
135 All screenshots are generated as PNG files. For a control named wxName, its screenshot file
136 name would be "name.png", e.g. "button.png" for wxButton. This is the protocol with the
137 doxygen document of wxWidgets.
138
139 By default, screenshots are generated under the subdirectory "screenshots" of current working
140 directory. During updating or adding new screenshots, first make sure screenshots are generated
141 correctly, and then copy them to the following subdirectory of docs/doxygen/images:
142
143 "wxmsw" for MS Windows, "wxgtk" for Linux and "wxmac" for Mac OS.
144
145 @section tag_gui_assumption The Assumption of GUI
146
147 Unfortunately, this class have an assumption about the structure of GUI:
148 It must have the follwoing top-down structure:
149
150 wxNotebook->wxPanel->wxSizer->wxControl
151
152 That means, in the wxNotebook associated with this class, controls that needs to be
153 taken screenshots are placed on different panels(for grouping) and layed out by wxSizers.
154
155 @section tag_tutorial Tutorial
156
157 In the contruction, you should associate a wxNotebook with this class, in that wxNotebook,
158 controls that needs to be captured are placed on different panels(for grouping).
159
160 When you register controls, you should do it in order: Register the controls on the first
161 panel(using RegisterControl()), and then register a page turn(using RegisterPageTurn()),
162 so this class can turn a page of the wxNotebook to present the second page. And then
163 you register the controls on the second panel, then a page turn, and so on.
164
165 When you are done, simply call CaptureAll(), then screenshots of all controls will be
166 automaticly generated.
167
168 @section tag_autoadjust Make Use of Auto Adjustments
169
170 First take a look at the document of RegisterControl(), enum AdjustFlags and
171 GlobalAdjustFlags.
172
173 And then, ScreenshotFrame::OnCaptureAllControls() is a good example of making use of
174 auto adjustment. Taking a look at it will get you started.
175
176 @section tag_developer_note Notes for Developers
177
178 @subsection tag_cnc CaptureAll() and Capture()
179
180 The implementation of Auto Adjustments is in CaptureAll() and Capture(), the code is
181 short, quite readable and well commented, please read the codes before any modification.
182
183 If you need the class to do something sepcial for you, consider introducing a new flag
184 and implement it in them. For an operation performed on multiple controls, implemente
185 its logic in CaptureAll(), otherwise in the private member Capture().
186
187 @subsection tag_yield_issue wxYield Issues
188
189 Not quite a good habit, but this class made a lot of use of wxYield()/wxYieldIfNeeded().
190 They are used to ensure the update of GUI(e.g. the page turn of wxNotebook) is done
191 before any further screenshot-taking, or to do the timing(in Delay()). Without their use,
192 there would be subtle bugs.
193
194 I've read documents about wxYield() and understand the down side of it before using it.
195 But I didn't find a better approach to do those things, and I used them carefully. So
196 please DO NOT remove any of these wxYield()s unless you're sure that it won't cause problems
197 on all of MS Windows XP/Vista, Linux(Ubuntu/Fedora), Mac OS Tiger/Leopard. And please
198 help me to find a better approach, thank you :)
