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 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
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
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.

74 virtual ~wxDocTemplate();
77 Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have
78 not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you
79 will need to override this function to return an appropriate document
82 This function calls InitDocument() which in turns calls
83 wxDocument::OnCreate().
85 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
88 Creates a new instance of the associated view class.
90 If you have not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template
91 constructor, you will need to override this function to return an
92 appropriate view instance.
94 If the new view initialization fails, it must call
95 wxDocument::RemoveView() for consistency with the default behaviour of
98 virtual wxView

101 This function implements the default (very primitive) format detection
102 which checks if the extension is that of the template.
105 The path to be checked against the template.

175 If you override this method, notice that you must @em delete the @a doc
176 if its initialization fails for consistency with the default behaviour.
179 The document to initialize.
181 The associated file path.
183 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
185 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed

295 @see @ref overview_docview_wxdocmanager, wxDocument, wxView, wxDocTemplate,
298 class wxDocManager
: public wxEvtHandler
302 Constructor. Create a document manager instance dynamically near the
303 start of your application before doing any document or view operations.
305 If @a initialize is @true, the Initialize() function will be called to
306 create a default history list object. If you derive from wxDocManager,
307 you may wish to call the base constructor with @false, and then call
308 Initialize() in your own constructor, to allow your own Initialize() or
309 OnCreateFileHistory functions to be called.
314 Indicates whether Initialize() should be called by this ctor.
316 wxDocManager(long flags
= 0, bool initialize
= true);
321 virtual ~wxDocManager();
324 Sets the current view.
326 virtual void ActivateView(wxView
* doc
, bool activate
= true);
329 Adds the document to the list of documents.
331 void AddDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
334 Adds a file to the file history list, if we have a pointer to an
335 appropriate file menu.
337 virtual void AddFileToHistory(const wxString
& filename
);
340 Adds the template to the document manager's template list.
342 void AssociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
345 Closes all currently opened documents.
347 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
350 Creates a new document.
352 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
353 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
354 specified in the @a flags.
356 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
357 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
358 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
359 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
360 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
361 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
362 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
363 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
364 typically won't exist.
366 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
367 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
368 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
369 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
370 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
371 user), this function fails as well.
374 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
375 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
376 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
379 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
380 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
381 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
383 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
385 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
388 Creates an empty new document.
390 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
391 and without the file name.
393 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
396 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
397 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
398 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
400 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
403 Removes the template from the list of templates.
405 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
408 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
411 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
413 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
415 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
418 Loads the file history from a config object.
422 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
425 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
428 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
431 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
432 explicitly by the application.
436 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
439 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
440 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
441 enables the history list functionality.
443 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
444 the file history object.
446 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
449 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
450 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a
453 virtual wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplateForPath(const wxString
& path
);
456 Returns the document associated with the currently active view (if
459 wxDocument
* GetCurrentDocument() const;
462 Returns the currently active view
464 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
467 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
469 wxList
& GetDocuments();
472 Returns a pointer to file history.
474 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
477 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
479 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
482 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
485 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
488 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
490 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
493 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
495 wxList
& GetTemplates();
498 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
500 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
501 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
502 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
503 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
504 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
505 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
506 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
507 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
508 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
510 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
511 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
513 virtual bool Initialize();
516 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
517 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
518 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
519 something more appropriate.
521 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
524 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
525 history. Called from Initialize().
527 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
530 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
532 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
535 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
537 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
540 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
543 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
546 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
548 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
551 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
554 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
557 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
560 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
563 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
565 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
568 Removes the document from the list of documents.
570 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
573 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
574 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
575 the selected file's extension is returned.
577 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
578 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
580 This function is used in CreateDocument().
582 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
583 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
584 long flags
, bool save
= false);
587 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
588 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
591 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
594 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
596 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
597 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
598 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
599 dialog. Default is @false.
601 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
606 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
607 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
608 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
609 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
610 and often there will only be one such.
613 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
616 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
618 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
619 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
620 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
621 dialog. Default is @false.
623 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
624 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
627 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
628 Initially this is empty.
630 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
633 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
634 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
635 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
636 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
637 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
638 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
641 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
644 The currently active view.
646 wxView
* m_currentView
;
649 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
651 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
654 A list of all documents.
659 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
660 recently-visited files on the File menu.
662 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
665 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
670 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
672 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
675 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
676 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
686 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
687 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
688 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
689 and wxDocManager classes.
694 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
696 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
700 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
701 application-specific data.
706 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
711 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
712 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
713 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
714 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
715 and the framework will need to get the current view.
717 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
718 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
720 This function calls OnActivateView().
722 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
725 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
726 function should delete the window associated with the view.
728 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
731 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
733 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
736 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
739 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
742 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
743 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
744 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
745 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
747 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
750 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
751 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
753 wxString
GetViewName() const;
756 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
757 implementation does nothing.
759 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
760 wxView
* deactiveView
);
763 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
764 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
766 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
769 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
770 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
771 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
772 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
773 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
774 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
775 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
777 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
780 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
782 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
785 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
786 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
787 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
788 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
789 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
791 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
792 view will be deleted.
794 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
797 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
798 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
799 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
802 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
803 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
805 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
807 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
810 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
812 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
815 Called when the view should be updated.
818 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
819 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
822 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
823 application-specific information for making updating more
826 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView
* sender
, wxObject
* hint
= 0);
829 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
832 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
835 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
836 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
838 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
839 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
841 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
844 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
846 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);
849 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
850 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one
853 wxDocument
* m_viewDocument
;
856 Frame associated with the view, if any.
858 wxFrame

997 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1000 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
1001 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
1002 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
1003 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
1006 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
1008 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
1017 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent
& event
);
1025 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1026 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1027 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.

1034 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1038 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1039 application-specific data.

1044 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1046 virtual ~wxDocument();
1049 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1050 calls OnChangedViewList().
1052 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1055 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1058 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1059 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1060 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1061 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1062 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1064 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1068 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1071 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1072 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1073 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1075 virtual bool Close();
1078 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1079 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1080 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1081 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no

1118 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1119 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1120 with the first view.
1122 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1125 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1128 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1131 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1132 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1136 wxView

1139 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1140 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1143 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1146 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1147 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1148 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1150 virtual wxString

1154 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.

1164 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1165 maintains its own record of being modified.
1169 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1173 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1174 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1175 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.

1178 wxWidgets was configured.
1180 virtual istream

1185 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1186 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1187 maintains its own record of being modified.
1191 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1194 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1195 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1196 (the last one has just been removed).
1198 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1201 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1203 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (an empty
1204 implementation) and sets the modified flag to @false. You can override
1205 it to supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with
1208 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1209 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1210 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1212 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1215 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1218 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1219 document to create an initial view.
1221 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1222 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1223 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly

1236 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1237 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1238 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1240 @see wxCommandProcessor
1242 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1245 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1246 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1247 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1249 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1252 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1253 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1254 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1255 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1256 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1257 the document's views are then updated.
1259 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1262 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1263 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1264 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1267 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1270 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1271 changes should be changed. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1272 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1273 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1275 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1278 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1279 OnChangedViewList().
1281 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView

);
1284 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1285 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1287 virtual bool Save();
1290 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1293 virtual bool SaveAs();
1297 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1298 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1299 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.

= false);
1338 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
