12 The wxDocTemplate class is used to model the relationship between a
13 document class and a view class.
18 @see @ref overview_docview_wxdoctemplate, wxDocument, wxView
20 class wxDocTemplate
: public wxObject
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.
29 The document manager object which manages this template.
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.
34 An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
36 The default directory to use for file selectors.
38 The default file extension (such as "txt").
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.
43 A name that should be unique for a given view.
45 A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
46 the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(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
51 A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the
52 wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(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
57 A bit list of the following:
58 - wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the
60 - wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to
62 - wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.
66 In wxPerl @a docClassInfo and @a viewClassInfo can be either
67 @c Wx::ClassInfo objects or strings containing the name of the
68 perl packages which are to be used as @c Wx::Document and
69 @c Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new);
72 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
73 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
74 flags): will construct document and view objects from the
76 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
77 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
78 flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
80 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
81 docTypeName, viewTypeName):
82 in this case @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and
83 @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateView() must be overridden

96 virtual ~wxDocTemplate();
99 Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have
100 not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you
101 will need to override this function to return an appropriate document

105 wxDocument::OnCreate().
107 virtual wxDocument

110 Creates a new instance of the associated view class.
112 If you have not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template
113 constructor, you will need to override this function to return an
114 appropriate view instance.
116 If the new view initialization fails, it must call
117 wxDocument::RemoveView() for consistency with the default behaviour of

329 class wxDocManager
: public wxEvtHandler
333 Constructor. Create a document manager instance dynamically near the
334 start of your application before doing any document or view operations.
336 If @a initialize is @true, the Initialize() function will be called to
337 create a default history list object. If you derive from wxDocManager,
338 you may wish to call the base constructor with @false, and then call
339 Initialize() in your own constructor, to allow your own Initialize() or
340 OnCreateFileHistory functions to be called.
345 Indicates whether Initialize() should be called by this ctor.
347 wxDocManager(long flags
= 0, bool initialize
= true);
352 virtual ~wxDocManager();
355 Sets the current view.

* doc
, bool activate
= true);
360 Adds the document to the list of documents.
362 void AddDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
365 Adds a file to the file history list, if we have a pointer to an
366 appropriate file menu.
368 virtual void AddFileToHistory(const wxString
& filename
);
371 Adds the template to the document manager's template list.
373 void AssociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
376 Search for a particular document template.
380 // creating a document instance of the specified document type:
381 m_doc = (MyDoc*)docManager->FindTemplate(CLASSINFO(MyDoc))->
382 CreateDocument(wxEmptyString, wxDOC_SILENT);

390 Pointer to a wxDocTemplate, or @NULL if none found.
394 wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplate(const wxClassInfo
* classinfo
);
397 Closes the specified document.
399 If @a force is @true, the document is closed even if it has unsaved
403 The document to close, must be non-@NULL.
405 If @true, close the document even if wxDocument::Close() returns
408 @true if the document was closed or @false if closing it was
409 cancelled by user (only in @a force = @false case).
411 bool CloseDocument(wxDocument
*doc
, bool force
= false);
414 Closes all currently opened documents.
418 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
421 Creates a new document.
423 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
424 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
425 specified in the @a flags.
427 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
428 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
429 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
430 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
431 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
432 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
433 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
434 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
435 typically won't exist.
437 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
438 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
439 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
440 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
441 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
442 user), this function fails as well.
445 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
446 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
447 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
450 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
451 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
452 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
454 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
456 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
459 Creates an empty new document.
461 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
462 and without the file name.
464 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
467 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
468 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
469 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
471 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
474 Removes the template from the list of templates.
476 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
479 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
482 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
484 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
486 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
489 Loads the file history from a config object.
493 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
496 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
499 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
502 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
503 explicitly by the application.
507 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
510 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
511 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
512 enables the history list functionality.
514 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
515 the file history object.
517 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
520 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
521 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a

533 Returns the currently active view
535 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
538 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
540 wxList
& GetDocuments();
543 Returns a pointer to file history.
545 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
548 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
550 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
553 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
556 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
559 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
561 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
564 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
566 wxList
& GetTemplates();
569 Create the frame used for print preview.
571 This method can be overridden if you need to change the behaviour or
572 appearance of the preview window. By default, a standard wxPreviewFrame
577 @param preview The associated preview object.
578 @param parent The parent window for the frame.
579 @param title The suggested title for the print preview frame.
580 @return A new print preview frame, must not return @NULL.
582 virtual wxPreviewFrame
* CreatePreviewFrame(wxPrintPreviewBase
* preview
,
584 const wxString
& title
);
587 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
589 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
590 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
591 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
592 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
593 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
594 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
595 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
596 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
597 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
599 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
600 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
602 virtual bool Initialize();
605 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
606 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
607 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
608 something more appropriate.
610 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
613 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
614 history. Called from Initialize().
616 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
619 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
621 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
624 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
626 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
629 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
632 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
635 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
637 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
640 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
643 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
646 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
649 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
652 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
654 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
657 Removes the document from the list of documents.
659 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
662 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
663 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
664 the selected file's extension is returned.
666 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
667 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
669 This function is used in CreateDocument().
672 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
673 If you override this method in your document manager it must
674 return two values, eg:
677 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
681 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
682 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
683 long flags
, bool save
= false);
686 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
687 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
690 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
693 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
695 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
696 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
697 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
698 dialog. Default is @false.
701 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
704 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
709 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
710 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
711 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
712 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
713 and often there will only be one such.
716 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
719 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
721 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
722 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
723 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
724 dialog. Default is @false.
727 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
730 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates

731 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
734 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
735 Initially this is empty.
737 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
740 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
741 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
742 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
743 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
744 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
745 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
748 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
751 The currently active view.
753 wxView
* m_currentView
;
756 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
758 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
761 A list of all documents.
766 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
767 recently-visited files on the File menu.
769 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
772 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
777 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
779 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
782 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
783 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
793 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
794 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
795 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
796 and wxDocManager classes.
801 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
803 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
807 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
808 application-specific data.
813 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
818 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
819 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
820 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
821 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
822 and the framework will need to get the current view.
824 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
825 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
827 This function calls OnActivateView().
829 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
832 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
833 function should delete the window associated with the view.
835 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
838 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
840 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
843 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
846 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
849 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
850 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
851 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
852 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
854 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
857 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
858 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
860 wxString
GetViewName() const;
863 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
864 implementation does nothing.
866 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
867 wxView
* deactiveView
);
870 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
871 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
873 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
876 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
877 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
878 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
879 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
880 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
881 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
882 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
884 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
887 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
889 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
892 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
893 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
894 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
895 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
896 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
898 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
899 view will be deleted.
901 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
904 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
905 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
906 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
909 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
910 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
912 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
914 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
917 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
919 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
922 Called when the view should be updated.
925 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
926 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
929 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
930 application-specific information for making updating more
933 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView
* sender
, wxObject
* hint
= 0);
936 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
939 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
942 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
943 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
945 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
946 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
948 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
951 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
953 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);

1104 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1107 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
1108 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
1109 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
1110 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
1113 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
1115 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
1124 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent
& event
);
1132 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1134 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1135 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1137 A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
1138 associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
1139 special kind of documents called <em>child documents</em> which are virtual
1140 in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
1141 their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
1142 created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
1143 (usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
1144 saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
1145 This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
1146 closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
1147 convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
1148 main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
1149 documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
1150 parameters of the image opened in the main document.
1155 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1157 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1161 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1162 application-specific data.
1165 Specifying a non-@c NULL parent document here makes this document a
1166 special <em>child document</em>, see their description in the class
1167 documentation. Notice that this parameter exists but is ignored in
1168 wxWidgets versions prior to 2.9.1.
1170 wxDocument(wxDocument
* parent
= NULL
);
1173 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1175 virtual ~wxDocument();
1178 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1179 calls OnChangedViewList().
1181 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1184 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1187 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1188 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1189 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1190 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1191 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1193 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1197 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1200 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1201 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1202 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1204 virtual bool Close();
1207 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1208 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1209 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1210 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no
1213 virtual bool DeleteAllViews();
1216 Virtual method called from OnCloseDocument().
1218 This method may be overridden to perform any additional cleanup which
1219 might be needed when the document is closed.
1221 The return value of this method is currently ignored.
1223 The default version does nothing and simply returns @true.
1225 virtual bool DeleteContents();
1228 Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this
1231 @see wxCommandProcessor
1233 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* GetCommandProcessor() const;
1236 Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.
1238 virtual wxDocManager

1241 Gets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1242 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1244 wxString

1247 Return true if this document had been already saved.
1251 bool GetDocumentSaved() const;
1254 Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.
1256 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1259 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1260 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1261 with the first view.
1263 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1266 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1269 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1272 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1273 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1277 wxView
* GetFirstView() const;
1280 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1281 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1284 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1287 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1288 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1289 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1291 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1295 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1300 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1304 Returns true if this document is a child document corresponding to a
1305 part of the parent document and not a disk file as usual.
1307 This method can be used to check whether file-related operations make
1308 sense for this document as they only apply to top-level documents and
1313 bool IsChildDocument() const;
1316 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1317 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1318 maintains its own record of being modified.
1322 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1326 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1327 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1328 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1330 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1331 wxWidgets was configured.
1333 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1334 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1338 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1339 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1340 maintains its own record of being modified.
1344 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1347 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1348 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1349 (the last one has just been removed).
1351 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1354 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1356 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (which may be
1357 overridden to perform additional cleanup) and sets the modified flag to
1358 @false. You can override it to supply additional behaviour when the
1359 document is closed with Close().
1361 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1362 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1363 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1365 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1368 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1371 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1372 document to create an initial view.
1374 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1375 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1376 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1377 in this function if it can't be initialized.
1380 The associated file path.
1382 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1384 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1386 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1389 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1390 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1391 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1393 @see wxCommandProcessor
1395 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1398 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1399 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1400 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1402 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1405 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1406 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1407 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1408 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1409 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1410 the document's views are then updated.
1412 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1415 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1416 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1417 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1420 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1423 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1424 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1425 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1426 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1428 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1431 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1432 OnChangedViewList().
1434 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1437 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1438 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1440 virtual bool Save();
1443 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1446 virtual bool SaveAs();
1449 Discard changes and load last saved version.
1451 Prompts the user first, and then calls DoOpenDocument() to reload the
1454 virtual bool Revert();
1458 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1459 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1460 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1462 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1463 wxWidgets was configured.
1465 virtual ostream
& SaveObject(ostream
& stream
);
1466 virtual wxOutputStream
& SaveObject(wxOutputStream
& stream
);
1470 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1471 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1472 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1474 @see wxCommandProcessor
1476 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor
* processor
);
1479 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1480 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1482 void SetDocumentName(const wxString
& name
);
1485 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1486 be called by the framework.
1488 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1491 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1493 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1494 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1495 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1496 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1497 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1498 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1499 a new extension should be used for saving).
1501 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1503 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1506 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1508 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1509 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1511 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1514 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1519 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1522 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1523 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1526 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1529 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1530 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1531 optimize its update.
1533 virtual void UpdateAllViews(wxView
* sender
= NULL
, wxObject
* hint
= NULL
);
1537 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1538 contents to the specified file.
1540 Base class version creates a file-based stream and calls SaveObject().
1541 Override this if you need to do something else or prefer not to use
1542 SaveObject() at all.
