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.

74 virtual ~wxDocTemplate();
77 Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have
78 not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you
79 will need to override this function to return an appropriate document
82 This function calls InitDocument() which in turns calls
83 wxDocument::OnCreate().
85 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
88 Creates a new instance of the associated view class. If you have not
89 supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you will
90 need to override this function to return an appropriate view instance.

* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
95 This function implements the default (very primitive) format detection
96 which checks if the extension is that of the template.

274 @see @ref overview_docview_wxdocmanager, wxDocument, wxView, wxDocTemplate,
277 class wxDocManager
: public wxEvtHandler
281 Constructor. Create a document manager instance dynamically near the
282 start of your application before doing any document or view operations.
284 If @a initialize is @true, the Initialize() function will be called to
285 create a default history list object. If you derive from wxDocManager,
286 you may wish to call the base constructor with @false, and then call
287 Initialize() in your own constructor, to allow your own Initialize() or
288 OnCreateFileHistory functions to be called.
293 Indicates whether Initialize() should be called by this ctor.
295 wxDocManager(long flags
= 0, bool initialize
= true);
300 virtual ~wxDocManager();
303 Sets the current view.
305 virtual void ActivateView(wxView
* doc
, bool activate
= true);
308 Adds the document to the list of documents.
310 void AddDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
313 Adds a file to the file history list, if we have a pointer to an
314 appropriate file menu.
316 virtual void AddFileToHistory(const wxString
& filename
);
319 Adds the template to the document manager's template list.
321 void AssociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
324 Closes all currently opened documents.
326 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
329 Creates a new document.
331 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
332 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
333 specified in the @a flags.
335 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
336 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
337 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
338 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
339 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
340 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
341 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
342 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
343 typically won't exist.
345 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
346 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
347 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
348 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
349 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
350 user), this function fails as well.
353 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
354 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
355 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
358 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
359 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
360 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
362 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
364 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
367 Creates an empty new document.
369 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
370 and without the file name.
372 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
375 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
376 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
377 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
379 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
382 Removes the template from the list of templates.
384 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
387 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
390 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
392 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
394 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
397 Loads the file history from a config object.
401 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
404 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
407 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
410 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
411 explicitly by the application.
415 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
418 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
419 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
420 enables the history list functionality.
422 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
423 the file history object.
425 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
428 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
429 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a
432 virtual wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplateForPath(const wxString
& path
);
435 Returns the document associated with the currently active view (if
438 wxDocument
* GetCurrentDocument() const;
441 Returns the currently active view
443 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
446 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
448 wxList
& GetDocuments();
451 Returns a pointer to file history.
453 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
456 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
458 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
461 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
464 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
467 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
469 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
472 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
474 wxList
& GetTemplates();
477 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
479 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
480 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
481 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
482 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
483 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
484 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
485 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
486 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
487 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
489 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
490 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
492 virtual bool Initialize();
495 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
496 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
497 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
498 something more appropriate.
500 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
503 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
504 history. Called from Initialize().
506 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
509 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
511 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
514 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
516 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
519 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
522 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
525 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
527 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
530 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
533 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
536 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
539 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
542 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
544 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
547 Removes the document from the list of documents.
549 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
552 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
553 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
554 the selected file's extension is returned.
556 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
557 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
559 This function is used in CreateDocument().
561 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
562 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
563 long flags
, bool save
= false);
566 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
567 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
570 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
573 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
575 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
576 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
577 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
578 dialog. Default is @false.
580 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
585 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
586 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
587 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
588 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
589 and often there will only be one such.
592 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
595 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
597 If more than one template is passed in in templates, then this
598 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
599 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
600 dialog. Default is @false.
602 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
603 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
606 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
607 Initially this is empty.
609 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
612 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
613 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
614 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
615 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
616 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
617 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
620 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
623 The currently active view.
625 wxView
* m_currentView
;
628 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
630 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
633 A list of all documents.
638 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
639 recently-visited files on the File menu.
641 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
644 Stores the flags passed to the constructor.
649 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
651 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
654 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
655 existing documents are closed. By default, this is 10,000.
665 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
666 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
667 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
668 and wxDocManager classes.
673 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
675 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
679 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
680 application-specific data.
685 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
690 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
691 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
692 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
693 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
694 and the framework will need to get the current view.
696 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
697 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
699 This function calls OnActivateView().
701 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
704 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
705 function should delete the window associated with the view.
707 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
710 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
712 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
715 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
718 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
721 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
722 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
723 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
724 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
726 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
729 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
730 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
732 wxString
GetViewName() const;
735 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
736 implementation does nothing.
738 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
739 wxView
* deactiveView
);
742 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
743 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
745 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
748 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
749 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
750 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
751 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
752 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to
753 disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
754 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
756 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
759 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
761 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
764 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
765 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
766 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
767 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
768 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
770 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
771 view will be deleted.
773 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
776 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
777 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
778 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
781 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
782 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
784 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
786 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
789 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
791 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
* dc
) = 0;
794 Called when the view should be updated.
797 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
798 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
801 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
802 application-specific information for making updating more
805 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView
* sender
, wxObject
* hint
= 0);
808 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
811 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
814 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
815 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
817 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
818 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
820 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
823 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
825 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);
828 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
829 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one
832 wxDocument
* m_viewDocument
;
835 Frame associated with the view, if any.
837 wxFrame
* m_viewFrame
;
840 The view type name given to the wxDocTemplate constructor, copied to
841 this variable when the view is created. Not currently used by the
844 wxString m_viewTypeName

971 const wxString
& name
= wxFrameNameStr
);
974 Returns the associated document manager object.
976 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
979 Deletes all views and documents. If no user input cancelled the
980 operation, the frame will be destroyed and the application will exit.
981 Since understanding how document/view clean-up takes place can be
982 difficult, the implementation of this function is shown below:
985 void wxDocParentFrame::OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent& event)
987 if (m_docManager->Clear(!event.CanVeto()))
996 void OnCloseWindow(wxCloseEvent
& event
);
1004 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1005 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1006 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1011 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1013 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1017 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1018 application-specific data.
1020 wxDocument(wxDocument
* parent
= 0);
1023 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1025 virtual ~wxDocument();
1028 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1029 calls OnChangedViewList().
1031 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1034 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1037 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1038 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1039 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1040 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1041 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1043 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1047 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1050 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1051 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1052 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1054 virtual bool Close();
1057 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1058 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1059 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1060 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no
1063 virtual bool DeleteAllViews();
1066 Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this
1069 @see wxCommandProcessor
1071 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* GetCommandProcessor() const;
1074 Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.
1076 virtual wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1079 Gets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1080 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1082 wxString
GetDocumentName() const;
1085 Return true if this document had been already saved.
1089 bool GetDocumentSaved() const;
1092 Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.
1094 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1097 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1098 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1099 with the first view.
1101 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1104 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1107 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1110 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1111 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1115 wxView
* GetFirstView() const;
1118 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1119 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1122 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1125 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1126 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1127 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1129 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1133 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1138 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1142 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1143 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1144 maintains its own record of being modified.
1148 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1152 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1153 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1154 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1156 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1157 wxWidgets was configured.
1159 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1160 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1164 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1165 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1166 maintains its own record of being modified.
1170 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1173 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1174 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1175 (the last one has just been removed).
1177 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1180 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1182 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (an empty
1183 implementation) and sets the modified flag to @false. You can override
1184 it to supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with
1187 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1188 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1189 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1191 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1194 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1195 initialize itself. The default implementation uses the template
1196 associated with the document to create an initial view. If this
1197 function returns @false, the document is deleted.
1199 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1202 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1203 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1204 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1206 @see wxCommandProcessor
1208 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1211 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1212 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1213 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1215 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1218 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1219 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1220 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1221 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1222 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1223 the document's views are then updated.
1225 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1228 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1229 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1230 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1233 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1236 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1237 changes should be changed. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1238 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1239 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1241 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1244 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1245 OnChangedViewList().
1247 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1250 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1251 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1253 virtual bool Save();
1256 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1259 virtual bool SaveAs();
1263 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1264 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1265 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1267 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1268 wxWidgets was configured.
1270 virtual ostream
& SaveObject(ostream
& stream
);
1271 virtual wxOutputStream
& SaveObject(wxOutputStream
& stream
);
1275 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1276 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1277 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1279 @see wxCommandProcessor
1281 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor
* processor
);
1284 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1285 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1287 void SetDocumentName(const wxString
& name
);
1290 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1291 be called by the framework.
1293 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1296 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1298 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1299 all views if @a notifyViews is @true,
1301 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1304 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1309 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1312 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1313 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1316 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1319 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1320 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1321 optimize its update.
1323 virtual void UpdateAllViews(wxView
* sender
= NULL
, wxObject
* hint
= NULL
);
1327 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1328 contents to the specified file.
1330 Base class version creates a file-based stream and calls SaveObject().
1331 Override this if you need to do something else or prefer not to use
1332 SaveObject() at all.

& file
);
1337 This method is called by OnOpenDocument() to really load the document
1338 contents from the specified file.
1340 Base class version creates a file-based stream and calls LoadObject().
1341 Override this if you need to do something else or prefer not to use

1367 Document title. The document title is used for an associated frame (if
1368 any), and is usually constructed by the framework from the filename.
1370 wxString m_documentTitle
;
1373 The document type name given to the wxDocTemplate constructor, copied
1374 to this variable when the document is created. If several document
1375 templates are created that use the same document type, this variable is
1376 used in wxDocManager::CreateView() to collate a list of alternative
1377 view types that can be used on this kind of document. Do not change the
1378 value of this variable.
1380 wxString m_documentTypeName
;
1383 List of wxView instances associated with this document.
1385 wxList m_documentViews

1391 @class wxFileHistory
1393 The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of
1394 most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
1396 wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be
1397 required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on
1398 each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.
1403 @see @ref overview_docview, wxDocManager
1405 class wxFileHistory

1409 Constructor. Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and
1412 @a idBase defaults to wxID_FILE1 and represents the id given to the
1413 first history menu item. Since menu items can't share the same ID you
1414 should change @a idBase (to one of your own defined IDs) when using
1415 more than one wxFileHistory in your application.
