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 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.
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
104 This function calls InitDocument() which in turns calls
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

320 class wxDocManager
: public wxEvtHandler
324 Constructor. Create a document manager instance dynamically near the
325 start of your application before doing any document or view operations.
327 If @a initialize is @true, the Initialize() function will be called to
328 create a default history list object. If you derive from wxDocManager,
329 you may wish to call the base constructor with @false, and then call
330 Initialize() in your own constructor, to allow your own Initialize() or
331 OnCreateFileHistory functions to be called.
336 Indicates whether Initialize() should be called by this ctor.
338 wxDocManager(long flags
= 0, bool initialize
= true);
343 virtual ~wxDocManager();
346 Sets the current view.
348 virtual void ActivateView(wxView
* doc
, bool activate
= true);
351 Adds the document to the list of documents.
353 void AddDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
356 Adds a file to the file history list, if we have a pointer to an
357 appropriate file menu.
359 virtual void AddFileToHistory(const wxString
& filename
);
362 Adds the template to the document manager's template list.
364 void AssociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
367 Closes all currently opened documents.
369 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
372 Creates a new document.
374 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
375 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
376 specified in the @a flags.
378 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
379 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
380 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
381 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
382 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
383 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
384 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
385 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
386 typically won't exist.
388 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
389 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
390 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
391 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
392 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
393 user), this function fails as well.
396 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
397 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
398 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
401 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
402 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
403 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
405 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
407 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
410 Creates an empty new document.
412 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
413 and without the file name.
415 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
418 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
419 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
420 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
422 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
425 Removes the template from the list of templates.
427 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
430 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
433 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
435 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
437 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
440 Loads the file history from a config object.
444 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
447 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
450 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
453 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
454 explicitly by the application.
458 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
461 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
462 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
463 enables the history list functionality.
465 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
466 the file history object.
468 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
471 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
472 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a
475 virtual wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplateForPath(const wxString
& path
);
478 Returns the document associated with the currently active view (if
481 wxDocument
* GetCurrentDocument() const;
484 Returns the currently active view
486 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
489 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
491 wxList
& GetDocuments();
494 Returns a pointer to file history.
496 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
499 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
501 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
504 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
507 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
510 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
512 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
515 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
517 wxList
& GetTemplates();
520 Create the frame used for print preview.
522 This method can be overridden if you need to change the behaviour or
523 appearance of the preview window. By default, a standard wxPreviewFrame
528 @param preview The associated preview object.
529 @param parent The parent window for the frame.
530 @param title The suggested title for the print preview frame.
531 @return A new print preview frame, must not return @NULL.
533 virtual wxPreviewFrame
* CreatePreviewFrame(wxPrintPreviewBase
* preview
,
535 const wxString
& title
);
538 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
540 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
541 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
542 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
543 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
544 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
545 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
546 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
547 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
548 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
550 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
551 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
553 virtual bool Initialize();
556 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
557 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
558 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
559 something more appropriate.
561 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
564 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
565 history. Called from Initialize().
567 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
570 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
572 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
575 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
577 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
580 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
583 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
586 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
588 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
591 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
594 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
597 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
600 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
603 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
605 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
608 Removes the document from the list of documents.
610 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
613 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
614 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
615 the selected file's extension is returned.
617 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
618 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
620 This function is used in CreateDocument().
623 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
624 If you override this method in your document manager it must
625 return two values, eg:
628 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
632 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
633 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
634 long flags
, bool save
= false);
637 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
638 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
641 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
644 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
646 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
647 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
648 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
649 dialog. Default is @false.
652 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
655 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
660 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
661 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
662 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
663 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
664 and often there will only be one such.
667 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
670 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
672 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
673 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
674 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
675 dialog. Default is @false.
678 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
681 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate

682 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
685 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
686 Initially this is empty.
688 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
691 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
692 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
693 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
694 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
695 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
696 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
699 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
702 The currently active view.
704 wxView
* m_currentView
;
707 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
709 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
712 A list of all documents.
717 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
718 recently-visited files on the File menu.
720 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
723 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
728 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
730 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
733 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
734 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
744 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
745 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
746 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
747 and wxDocManager classes.
752 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
754 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
758 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
759 application-specific data.
764 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
769 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
770 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
771 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
772 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
773 and the framework will need to get the current view.
775 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
776 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
778 This function calls OnActivateView().
780 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
783 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
784 function should delete the window associated with the view.
786 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
789 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
791 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
794 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
797 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
800 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
801 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
802 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
803 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
805 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
808 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
809 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
811 wxString
GetViewName() const;
814 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
815 implementation does nothing.
817 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
818 wxView
* deactiveView
);
821 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
822 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
824 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
827 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
828 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
829 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
830 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
831 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
832 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
833 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
835 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
838 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
840 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
843 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
844 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
845 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
846 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
847 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
849 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
850 view will be deleted.
852 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
855 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
856 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
857 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
860 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
861 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
863 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
865 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
868 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
870 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
873 Called when the view should be updated.
876 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
877 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the

881 application-specific information for making updating more
884 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView

887 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
890 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc

893 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
894 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
896 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
897 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
899 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
902 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
904 void SetViewName(const wxString

1010 The wxDocParentFrame class provides a default top-level frame for
1011 applications using the document/view framework. This class can only be used
1012 for SDI (not MDI) parent frames.
1014 It cooperates with the wxView, wxDocument, wxDocManager and wxDocTemplate

1053 Returns the associated document manager object.
1055 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1058 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
1059 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
1060 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
1061 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
1064 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
1066 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
1075 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent
& event
);
1083 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1084 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1085 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1090 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1092 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1096 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1097 application-specific data.

1102 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1104 virtual ~wxDocument();
1107 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1108 calls OnChangedViewList().
1110 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1113 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1116 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1117 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1118 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1119 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1120 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1122 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1126 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1129 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1130 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1131 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1133 virtual bool Close();
1136 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1137 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1138 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1139 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no

1173 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1176 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1177 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1178 with the first view.
1180 virtual wxWindow

1183 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1186 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1189 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1190 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1194 wxView

1197 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1198 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1201 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1204 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1205 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1206 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1208 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1212 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1217 const wxList

1221 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1222 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1223 maintains its own record of being modified.
1227 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1231 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1232 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1233 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1235 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1236 wxWidgets was configured.
1238 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1239 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream

1243 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1244 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1245 maintains its own record of being modified.
1249 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1252 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1253 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1254 (the last one has just been removed).
1256 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1259 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1261 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (an empty
1262 implementation) and sets the modified flag to @false. You can override
1263 it to supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with
1266 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1267 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1268 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1270 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1273 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1276 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1277 document to create an initial view.
1279 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1280 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1281 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1282 in this function if it can't be initialized.

1287 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1289 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1291 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1294 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1295 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1296 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1298 @see wxCommandProcessor
1300 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1303 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1304 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1305 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1307 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1310 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1311 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1312 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1313 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1314 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1315 the document's views are then updated.
1317 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1320 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1321 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1322 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1325 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1328 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1329 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1330 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1331 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1333 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1336 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1337 OnChangedViewList().
1339 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1342 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1343 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1345 virtual bool Save();
1348 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1351 virtual bool SaveAs();
1354 Discard changes and load last saved version.
1356 Prompts the user first, and then calls DoOpenDocument() to reload the
1359 virtual bool Revert();
1363 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1364 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1365 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.

1375 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1376 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1377 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1379 @see wxCommandProcessor
1381 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor

1384 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1385 @ref m_documentTypeName.

);
1390 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1391 be called by the framework.
1393 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1396 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1398 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1399 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1400 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1401 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1402 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1403 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1404 a new extension should be used for saving).
1406 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1408 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1411 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1413 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1414 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1416 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1419 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1424 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1427 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1428 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1431 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1434 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1435 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1436 optimize its update.

1442 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1443 contents to the specified file.

1506 @class wxFileHistory
1508 The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of
1509 most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
1511 wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be
1512 required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on
1513 each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.
