24 Constructor. Create instances dynamically near the start of your
25 application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing
26 any document or view operations.
27
28 @param manager
29 The document manager object which manages this template.
30 @param descr
31 A short description of what the template is for. This string will
32 be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
33 @param filter
34 An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
35 @param dir
36 The default directory to use for file selectors.
37 @param ext
38 The default file extension (such as "txt").
39 @param docTypeName
40 A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for
41 gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.
42 @param viewTypeName
43 A name that should be unique for a given view.
44 @param docClassInfo
45 A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
46 the CLASSINFO() macro, e.g. CLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is
47 not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
48 override the CreateDocument() member to return a new document
49 instance on demand.
50 @param viewClassInfo
51 A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the
52 CLASSINFO() macro, e.g. CLASSINFO(MyViewClass). If this is not
53 supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
54 override the CreateView() member to return a new view instance on
55 demand.
56 @param flags
57 A bit list of the following:
58 - wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the
59 user in dialogs.
60 - wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to
61 the user in dialogs.
62 - wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.

67 @c Wx::ClassInfo objects or strings containing the name of the

69 @c Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new);
70 as an example:
71
72 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
73 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
74 flags): will construct document and view objects from the
75 class information.
76 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
77 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
78 flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
79 packages.
80 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,

82 in this case @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and
