23 /**
24 Constructor. Create instances dynamically near the start of your
25 application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing
26 any document or view operations.
27
28 @param manager
29 The document manager object which manages this template.
30 @param descr
31 A short description of what the template is for. This string will
32 be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
33 @param filter
34 An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
35 @param dir
36 The default directory to use for file selectors.
37 @param ext
38 The default file extension (such as "txt").
39 @param docTypeName
40 A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for
41 gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.
42 @param viewTypeName
43 A name that should be unique for a given view.
44 @param docClassInfo
45 A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
46 the 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
49 instance on demand.
50 @param viewClassInfo
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
55 demand.
56 @param flags
57 A bit list of the following:
58 - wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the
59 user in dialogs.
60 - wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to
61 the user in dialogs.
62 - wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.

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);
70 as an example:
71
72 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
73 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
74 flags): will construct document and view objects from the
75 class information.
76 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
77 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
78 flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
79 packages.
80 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
81 docTypeName, viewTypeName):
82 in this case @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and

448 @c wxDOC_NEW.

1144 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1145
1146 A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
1147 associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
1148 special kind of documents called <em>child documents</em> which are virtual
1149 in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
1150 their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
1151 created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
1152 (usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
1153 saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
1154 This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
1155 closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
1156 convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
1157 main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
1158 documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
1159 parameters of the image opened in the main document.
