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
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags

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

317 @see @ref overview_docview_wxdocmanager, wxDocument, wxView, wxDocTemplate,
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 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
522 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
523 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
524 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
525 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
526 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
527 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
528 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
529 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
530 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
532 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
533 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
535 virtual bool Initialize();
538 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
539 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
540 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
541 something more appropriate.
543 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
546 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
547 history. Called from Initialize().
549 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
552 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
554 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
557 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
559 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
562 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
565 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
568 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
570 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
573 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
576 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
579 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
582 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
585 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
587 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
590 Removes the document from the list of documents.
592 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
595 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
596 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
597 the selected file's extension is returned.
599 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
600 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
602 This function is used in CreateDocument().
605 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
606 If you override this method in your document manager it must
607 return two values, eg:
610 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
614 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
615 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
616 long flags
, bool save
= false);
619 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
620 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
623 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
626 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
628 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
629 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
630 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
631 dialog. Default is @false.
634 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
637 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
642 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
643 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
644 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
645 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
646 and often there will only be one such.
649 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
652 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
654 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
655 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
656 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
657 dialog. Default is @false.
660 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
663 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
664 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
667 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
668 Initially this is empty.
670 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
673 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
674 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
675 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
676 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
677 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
678 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
681 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
684 The currently active view.
686 wxView
* m_currentView
;
689 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
691 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
694 A list of all documents.
699 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
700 recently-visited files on the File menu.
702 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
705 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
710 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
712 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
715 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
716 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
726 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
727 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
728 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
729 and wxDocManager classes.
734 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
736 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
740 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
741 application-specific data.
746 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
751 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
752 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
753 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
754 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
755 and the framework will need to get the current view.
757 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
758 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
760 This function calls OnActivateView().
762 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
765 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
766 function should delete the window associated with the view.
768 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
771 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
773 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
776 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
779 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
782 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
783 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
784 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
785 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
787 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
790 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
791 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
793 wxString
GetViewName() const;
796 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
797 implementation does nothing.
799 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
800 wxView
* deactiveView
);
803 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
804 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
806 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
809 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
810 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
811 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
812 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
813 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
814 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
815 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
817 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
820 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
822 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
825 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
826 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
827 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
828 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
829 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
831 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
832 view will be deleted.
834 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
837 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
838 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
839 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
842 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
843 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
845 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
847 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
850 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
852 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
855 Called when the view should be updated.
858 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
859 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
862 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
863 application-specific information for making updating more
866 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView
* sender
, wxObject
* hint
= 0);
869 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
872 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
875 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
876 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
878 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
879 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
881 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
884 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
886 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);
889 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
890 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one
893 wxDocument

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

1037 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1040 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
1041 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
1042 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
1043 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
1046 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
1048 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
1057 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent
& event
);
1065 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1066 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1067 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1072 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1074 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1078 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1079 application-specific data.

1084 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1086 virtual ~wxDocument();
1089 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1090 calls OnChangedViewList().
1092 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1095 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1098 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1099 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1100 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1101 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1102 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1104 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1108 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1111 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1112 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1113 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1115 virtual bool Close();
1118 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1119 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1120 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1121 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no

1155 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1158 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1159 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1160 with the first view.
1162 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1165 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1168 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1171 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1172 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1176 wxView

1179 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1180 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1183 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1186 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1187 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1188 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1190 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1194 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1199 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1203 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1204 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1205 maintains its own record of being modified.
1209 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1213 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1214 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1215 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1217 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1218 wxWidgets was configured.
1220 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1221 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1225 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1226 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1227 maintains its own record of being modified.
1231 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1234 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1235 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1236 (the last one has just been removed).
1238 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1241 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1243 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (an empty
1244 implementation) and sets the modified flag to @false. You can override
1245 it to supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with
1248 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1249 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1250 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1252 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1255 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1258 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1259 document to create an initial view.
1261 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1262 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1263 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1264 in this function if it can't be initialized.
1267 The associated file path.
1269 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1271 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1273 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1276 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1277 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1278 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1280 @see wxCommandProcessor
1282 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1285 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1286 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1287 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1289 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1292 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1293 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1294 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1295 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1296 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1297 the document's views are then updated.
1299 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1302 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1303 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1304 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1307 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1310 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1311 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1312 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1313 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1315 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1318 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1319 OnChangedViewList().
1321 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1324 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1325 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1327 virtual bool Save();
1330 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1333 virtual bool SaveAs();
1337 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1338 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1339 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1341 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1342 wxWidgets was configured.

1349 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1350 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1351 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1353 @see wxCommandProcessor
1355 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor

);
1358 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1359 @ref m_documentTypeName.

1364 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1365 be called by the framework.
1367 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1370 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1372 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1373 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1374 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1375 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1376 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1377 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1378 a new extension should be used for saving).
1380 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1382 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1385 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1387 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1388 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1390 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1393 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1398 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1401 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1402 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1405 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1408 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1409 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1410 optimize its update.

1416 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1417 contents to the specified file.

1480 @class wxFileHistory
1482 The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of
1483 most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
1485 wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be
1486 required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on
1487 each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.
