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
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 Search for a particular document template.
371 // creating a document instance of the specified document type:
372 m_doc = (MyDoc*)docManager->FindTemplate(CLASSINFO(MyDoc))->
373 CreateDocument(wxEmptyString, wxDOC_SILENT);
377 Class info of a document class for which a wxDocTemplate had been
381 Pointer to a wxDocTemplate, or @NULL if none found.
385 wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplate(const wxClassInfo
* classinfo
);
388 Closes the specified document.
390 If @a force is @true, the document is closed even if it has unsaved
394 The document to close, must be non-@NULL.
396 If @true, close the document even if wxDocument::Close() returns
399 @true if the document was closed or @false if closing it was
400 cancelled by user (only in @a force = @false case).
402 bool CloseDocument(wxDocument
*doc
, bool force
= false);
405 Closes all currently opened documents.
409 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
412 Creates a new document.
414 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
415 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
416 specified in the @a flags.
418 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
419 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
420 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
421 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
422 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
423 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
424 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
425 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
426 typically won't exist.
428 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
429 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
430 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
431 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
432 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
433 user), this function fails as well.
436 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
437 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
438 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
441 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
442 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
443 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
445 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
447 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
450 Creates an empty new document.
452 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
453 and without the file name.
455 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
458 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
459 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
460 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
462 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
465 Removes the template from the list of templates.
467 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
470 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
473 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
475 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
477 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
480 Loads the file history from a config object.
484 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
487 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
490 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
493 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
494 explicitly by the application.
498 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
501 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
502 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
503 enables the history list functionality.
505 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
506 the file history object.
508 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
511 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
512 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a
515 virtual wxDocTemplate

518 Returns the document associated with the currently active view (if
521 wxDocument

524 Returns the currently active view
526 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
529 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
531 wxList
& GetDocuments();
534 Returns a pointer to file history.
536 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
539 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
541 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
544 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
547 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
550 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
552 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
555 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
557 wxList
& GetTemplates();
560 Create the frame used for print preview.
562 This method can be overridden if you need to change the behaviour or
563 appearance of the preview window. By default, a standard wxPreviewFrame
568 @param preview The associated preview object.
569 @param parent The parent window for the frame.
570 @param title The suggested title for the print preview frame.
571 @return A new print preview frame, must not return @NULL.
573 virtual wxPreviewFrame
* CreatePreviewFrame(wxPrintPreviewBase
* preview
,
575 const wxString
& title
);
578 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
580 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
581 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
582 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
583 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
584 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
585 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
586 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
587 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
588 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
590 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
591 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
593 virtual bool Initialize();
596 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
597 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
598 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
599 something more appropriate.
601 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
604 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
605 history. Called from Initialize().
607 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
610 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
612 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
615 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
617 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
620 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
623 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
626 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
628 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
631 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
634 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
637 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
640 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
643 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
645 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
648 Removes the document from the list of documents.
650 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
653 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
654 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
655 the selected file's extension is returned.
657 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
658 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
660 This function is used in CreateDocument().
663 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
664 If you override this method in your document manager it must
665 return two values, eg:
668 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
672 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
673 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
674 long flags
, bool save
= false);
677 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
678 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
681 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
684 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
686 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
687 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
688 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
689 dialog. Default is @false.
692 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
695 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
700 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
701 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
702 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
703 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
704 and often there will only be one such.
707 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
710 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
712 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
713 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
714 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
715 dialog. Default is @false.
718 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
721 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
722 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
725 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
726 Initially this is empty.
728 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
731 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
732 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
733 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
734 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
735 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
736 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
739 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
742 The currently active view.
744 wxView
* m_currentView
;
747 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
749 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
752 A list of all documents.
757 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
758 recently-visited files on the File menu.
760 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
763 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
768 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
770 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
773 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
774 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
784 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
785 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
786 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
787 and wxDocManager classes.
792 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
794 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
798 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
799 application-specific data.
804 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
809 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
810 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
811 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
812 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
813 and the framework will need to get the current view.
815 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
816 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
818 This function calls OnActivateView().
820 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
823 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
824 function should delete the window associated with the view.
826 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
829 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
831 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
834 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
837 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
840 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
841 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
842 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
843 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
845 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
848 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
849 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
851 wxString
GetViewName() const;
854 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
855 implementation does nothing.
857 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
858 wxView
* deactiveView
);
861 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
862 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
864 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
867 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
868 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
869 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
870 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
871 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
872 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
873 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
875 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
878 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
880 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
883 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
884 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
885 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
886 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
887 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
889 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
890 view will be deleted.
892 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
895 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
896 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
897 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
900 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
901 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
903 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
905 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
908 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
910 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
913 Called when the view should be updated.
916 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
917 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
920 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
921 application-specific information for making updating more
924 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView
* sender
, wxObject
* hint
= 0);
927 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
930 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
933 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
934 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
936 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
937 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
939 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
942 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
944 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);
947 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
948 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one
951 wxDocument
* m_viewDocument
;
954 Frame associated with the view, if any.
956 wxFrame
* m_viewFrame

1098 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
1099 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
1100 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
1101 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
1104 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
1106 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
1115 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent

1123 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1124 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1125 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.

1136 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1137 application-specific data.

1142 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1144 virtual ~wxDocument();
1147 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1148 calls OnChangedViewList().
1150 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1153 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1156 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1157 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1158 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1159 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1160 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1162 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1166 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1169 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1170 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1171 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1173 virtual bool Close();
1176 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1177 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1178 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1179 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no
1182 virtual bool DeleteAllViews();
1185 Virtual method called from OnCloseDocument().
1187 This method may be overridden to perform any additional cleanup which
1188 might be needed when the document is closed.
1190 The return value of this method is currently ignored.
1192 The default version does nothing and simply returns @true.

1197 Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this
1200 @see wxCommandProcessor
1202 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* GetCommandProcessor() const;
1205 Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.

1220 bool GetDocumentSaved() const;
1223 Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.
1225 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1228 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1229 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1230 with the first view.
1232 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1235 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1238 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1241 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1242 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1246 wxView
* GetFirstView() const;
1249 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1250 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1253 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1256 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1257 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1258 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1260 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1264 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1269 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1273 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1274 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1275 maintains its own record of being modified.
1279 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1283 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1284 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1285 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1287 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1288 wxWidgets was configured.
1290 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1291 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1295 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1296 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1297 maintains its own record of being modified.
1301 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1304 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1305 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1306 (the last one has just been removed).
1308 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1311 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1313 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (which may be
1314 overridden to perform additional cleanup) and sets the modified flag to
1315 @false. You can override it to supply additional behaviour when the
1316 document is closed with Close().
1318 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1319 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1320 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1322 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1325 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1328 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1329 document to create an initial view.
1331 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1332 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1333 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1334 in this function if it can't be initialized.
1337 The associated file path.
1339 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1341 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1343 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1346 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1347 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1348 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1350 @see wxCommandProcessor
1352 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1355 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1356 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1357 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1359 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1362 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1363 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1364 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1365 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1366 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1367 the document's views are then updated.
1369 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1372 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1373 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1374 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1377 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1380 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1381 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1382 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1383 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1385 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1388 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1389 OnChangedViewList().
1391 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1394 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1395 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1397 virtual bool Save();
1400 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1403 virtual bool SaveAs();
1406 Discard changes and load last saved version.
1408 Prompts the user first, and then calls DoOpenDocument() to reload the
1411 virtual bool Revert();
1415 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1416 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1417 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1419 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1420 wxWidgets was configured.

1423 virtual wxOutputStream
& SaveObject(wxOutputStream

1427 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1428 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1429 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1431 @see wxCommandProcessor
1433 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor
* processor
);
1436 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1437 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1439 void SetDocumentName(const wxString
& name
);
1442 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1443 be called by the framework.
1445 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1448 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1450 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1451 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1452 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1453 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1454 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1455 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1456 a new extension should be used for saving).
1458 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1460 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1463 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1465 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1466 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1468 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1471 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1476 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1479 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1480 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1483 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1486 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1487 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1488 optimize its update.
1490 virtual void UpdateAllViews(wxView
* sender
= NULL
, wxObject
* hint
= NULL
);
1494 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1495 contents to the specified file.
1497 Base class version creates a file-based stream and calls SaveObject().
1498 Override this if you need to do something else or prefer not to use
1499 SaveObject() at all.

1504 This method is called by OnOpenDocument() to really load the document
1505 contents from the specified file.
