41 class wxDocTemplate
: public wxObject
45 Constructor. Create instances dynamically near the start of your
46 application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing
47 any document or view operations.
50 The document manager object which manages this template.
52 A short description of what the template is for. This string will
53 be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
55 An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
57 The default directory to use for file selectors.
59 The default file extension (such as "txt").
61 A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for
62 gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.
64 A name that should be unique for a given view.
66 A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
67 the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is
68 not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
69 override the CreateDocument() member to return a new document
72 A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the
73 wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyViewClass). If this is not
74 supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
75 override the CreateView() member to return a new view instance on
78 A bit list of the following:
79 - wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the
81 - wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to
83 - wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.
87 In wxPerl @a docClassInfo and @a viewClassInfo can be either
88 @c Wx::ClassInfo objects or strings containing the name of the
89 perl packages which are to be used as @c Wx::Document and
90 @c Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new);
93 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
94 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
95 flags): will construct document and view objects from the
97 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
98 docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
99 flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
101 - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
102 docTypeName, viewTypeName):
103 in this case @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and

120 Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have
121 not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you
122 will need to override this function to return an appropriate document

354 Constructor. Create a document manager instance dynamically near the
355 start of your application before doing any document or view operations.
357 If @a initialize is @true, the Initialize() function will be called to
358 create a default history list object. If you derive from wxDocManager,
359 you may wish to call the base constructor with @false, and then call
360 Initialize() in your own constructor, to allow your own Initialize() or

418 Closes the specified document.
420 If @a force is @true, the document is closed even if it has unsaved
424 The document to close, must be non-@NULL.
426 If @true, close the document even if wxDocument::Close() returns
429 @true if the document was closed or @false if closing it was
430 cancelled by user (only in @a force = @false case).
432 bool CloseDocument(wxDocument
*doc
, bool force
= false);
435 Closes all currently opened documents.
439 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
442 Creates a new document.
444 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
445 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
446 specified in the @a flags.
448 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
449 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
450 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
451 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
452 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
453 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
454 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
455 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
456 typically won't exist.
458 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
459 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
460 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
461 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
462 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
463 user), this function fails as well.
466 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
467 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
468 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
471 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
472 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
473 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
475 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
477 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
480 Creates an empty new document.
482 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
483 and without the file name.
485 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
488 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
489 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
490 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
492 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc

= 0);
495 Removes the template from the list of templates.

510 Loads the file history from a config object.
514 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase

517 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
520 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
523 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
524 explicitly by the application.
528 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
531 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
532 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
533 enables the history list functionality.
535 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
536 the file history object.
538 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu

596 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
599 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
601 wxList
& GetTemplates();
604 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
606 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
607 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
608 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
609 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
610 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
611 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
612 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
613 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
614 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
616 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
617 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
619 virtual bool Initialize();
622 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
623 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
624 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
625 something more appropriate.
627 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
630 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
631 history. Called from Initialize().
633 virtual wxFileHistory

638 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent

641 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
643 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent

);
646 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
649 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
652 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
654 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
657 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
660 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
663 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
666 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
669 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
671 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
674 Removes the document from the list of documents.
676 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
679 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
680 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
681 the selected file's extension is returned.
683 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
684 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
686 This function is used in CreateDocument().
689 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
690 If you override this method in your document manager it must
691 return two values, eg:
694 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
698 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
699 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
700 long flags
, bool save
= false);
703 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
704 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
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
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
726 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
727 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
728 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
729 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
730 and often there will only be one such.
733 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
736 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
738 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
739 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
740 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
741 dialog. Default is @false.
744 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
747 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
748 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
751 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
752 Initially this is empty.
754 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
757 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
758 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
759 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
760 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
761 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
762 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
765 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
770 Called when a file selected from the MRU list doesn't exist any more.
772 The default behaviour is to remove the file from the MRU (most recently
773 used) files list and the corresponding menu and notify the user about
774 it but this method can be overridden to customize it.
776 For example, an application may want to just give an error about the
777 missing file @a filename but not remove it from the file history. Or it
778 could ask the user whether the file should be kept or removed.
780 Notice that this method is called only if the file selected by user
781 from the MRU files in the menu doesn't exist, but not if opening it
782 failed for any other reason because in the latter case the default
783 behaviour of removing the file from the MRU list is inappropriate.
784 If you still want to do it, you would need to do it by calling
785 RemoveFileFromHistory() explicitly in the part of the file opening code
791 The index of the file in the MRU list, it can be passed to
792 RemoveFileFromHistory() to remove this file from the list.
794 The full name of the file.
796 virtual void OnMRUFileNotExist(unsigned n
, const wxString
& filename
);
799 Create the frame used for print preview.
801 This method can be overridden if you need to change the behaviour or
802 appearance of the preview window. By default, a standard wxPreviewFrame
807 @param preview The associated preview object.
808 @param parent The parent window for the frame.
809 @param title The suggested title for the print preview frame.
810 @return A new print preview frame, must not return @NULL.
812 virtual wxPreviewFrame
* CreatePreviewFrame(wxPrintPreviewBase
* preview
,
814 const wxString
& title
);
817 The currently active view.
819 wxView
* m_currentView
;
822 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
824 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
827 A list of all documents.
832 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
833 recently-visited files on the File menu.
835 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
838 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
840 wxString m_lastDirectory
;
843 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
844 existing documents are closed.
846 By default, this is @c INT_MAX i.e. practically unlimited.
856 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
857 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
858 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
859 and wxDocManager classes.
864 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
866 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
870 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
871 application-specific data.
876 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
881 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
882 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
883 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
884 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
885 and the framework will need to get the current view.
887 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
888 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
890 This function calls OnActivateView().
892 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
895 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
896 function should delete the window associated with the view.
898 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
901 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
903 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
906 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
909 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
912 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
913 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
914 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
915 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
917 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
920 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
921 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
923 wxString
GetViewName() const;
926 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
927 implementation does nothing.
929 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
930 wxView
* deactiveView
);
933 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
934 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
936 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
939 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
940 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
941 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
942 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
943 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
944 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
945 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
947 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
950 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
952 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
955 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
956 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
957 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
958 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
959 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
961 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
962 view will be deleted.

967 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
968 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
969 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
972 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which

1005 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
1006 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.

1009 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
1011 void SetFrame(wxWindow

1014 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
1016 void SetViewName(const wxString

1019 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
1020 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one

1041 @class wxDocChildFrame
1043 The wxDocChildFrame class provides a default frame for displaying documents
1044 on separate windows. This class can only be used for SDI (not MDI) child
1047 The class is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets,
1048 and cooperates with the wxView, wxDocument, wxDocManager and wxDocTemplate
1051 Notice that this class handles ::wxEVT_ACTIVATE event and activates the
1052 child view on receiving it. Don't intercept this event unless you want to
1053 prevent from this happening.
1055 The same remark applies to ::wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW, as wxDocParentFrame the
1056 frame handles this event by trying to close the associated view.

1117 The wxDocParentFrame class provides a default top-level frame for
1118 applications using the document/view framework. This class can only be used
1119 for SDI (not MDI) parent frames.
1121 It cooperates with the wxView, wxDocument, wxDocManager and wxDocTemplate
1124 Notice that this class processes ::wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW event and tries to
1125 close all open views from its handler. If all the views can be closed, i.e.
1126 if none of them contains unsaved changes or the user decides to not save
1127 them, the window is destroyed. Don't intercept this event in your code
1128 unless you want to replace this logic.

1166 Returns the associated document manager object.
1168 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1176 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1178 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1179 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1181 A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
1182 associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
1183 special kind of documents called <em>child documents</em> which are virtual
1184 in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
1185 their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
1186 created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
1187 (usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
1188 saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
1189 This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
1190 closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
1191 convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
1192 main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
1193 documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
1194 parameters of the image opened in the main document.
1199 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1201 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1205 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1206 application-specific data.
1209 Specifying a non-@c NULL parent document here makes this document a
1210 special <em>child document</em>, see their description in the class
1211 documentation. Notice that this parameter exists but is ignored in
1212 wxWidgets versions prior to 2.9.1.
1214 wxDocument(wxDocument

= NULL
);
1217 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1219 virtual ~wxDocument();
1222 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1223 calls OnChangedViewList().
1225 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1228 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1231 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1232 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1233 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1234 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1235 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1237 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1241 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1244 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1245 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1246 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1248 virtual bool Close();
1251 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1252 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1253 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1254 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no
1257 virtual bool DeleteAllViews();
1260 Virtual method called from OnCloseDocument().
1262 This method may be overridden to perform any additional cleanup which
1263 might be needed when the document is closed.
1265 The return value of this method is currently ignored.
1267 The default version does nothing and simply returns @true.
1269 virtual bool DeleteContents();
1272 Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this
1275 @see wxCommandProcessor
1277 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* GetCommandProcessor() const;
1280 Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.
1282 virtual wxDocManager

1286 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1288 wxString

1291 Return true if this document had been already saved.
1295 bool GetDocumentSaved() const;
1298 Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.
1300 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1303 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1304 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1305 with the first view.
1307 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1310 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1313 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1316 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1317 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1321 wxView
* GetFirstView() const;
1324 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1325 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1328 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1331 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1332 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1333 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1335 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1338 Returns a vector of wxView pointers.
1342 wxViewVector
GetViewsVector() const;
1346 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1351 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1355 Returns true if this document is a child document corresponding to a
1356 part of the parent document and not a disk file as usual.
1358 This method can be used to check whether file-related operations make
1359 sense for this document as they only apply to top-level documents and
1364 bool IsChildDocument() const;
1367 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1368 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1369 maintains its own record of being modified.
1373 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1377 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1378 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1379 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1381 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1382 wxWidgets was configured.
1384 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1385 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1389 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1390 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1391 maintains its own record of being modified.
1395 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1398 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1399 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1400 (the last one has just been removed).
1402 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1405 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1407 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (which may be
1408 overridden to perform additional cleanup) and sets the modified flag to
1409 @false. You can override it to supply additional behaviour when the
1410 document is closed with Close().
1412 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1413 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1414 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1416 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1419 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1422 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1423 document to create an initial view.
1425 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1426 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1427 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1428 in this function if it can't be initialized.
1431 The associated file path.
1433 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1435 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1437 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1440 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1441 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1442 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1444 @see wxCommandProcessor
1446 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1449 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1450 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1451 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1453 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1456 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1457 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1458 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1459 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1460 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1461 the document's views are then updated.
1463 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1466 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1467 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1468 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1471 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1474 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1475 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1476 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1477 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1479 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1482 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1483 OnChangedViewList().
1485 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1488 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1489 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1491 virtual bool Save();
1494 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1497 virtual bool SaveAs();
1500 Discard changes and load last saved version.
1502 Prompts the user first, and then calls DoOpenDocument() to reload the
1505 virtual bool Revert();
1509 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1510 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1511 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1513 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1514 wxWidgets was configured.

1521 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1522 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1523 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1525 @see wxCommandProcessor
1527 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor

1530 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1531 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1533 void SetDocumentName(const wxString
& name
);
1536 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1537 be called by the framework.
1539 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1542 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1544 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1545 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1546 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1547 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1548 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1549 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1550 a new extension should be used for saving).
1552 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1554 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1557 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1559 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1560 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1562 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1565 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1570 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1573 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1574 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1577 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1580 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1581 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1582 optimize its update.

1588 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1589 contents to the specified file.
