52 "A wx.DataFormat is an encapsulation of a platform-specific format
53 handle which is used by the system for the clipboard and drag and drop
54 operations. The applications are usually only interested in, for
55 example, pasting data from the clipboard only if the data is in a
56 format the program understands. A data format is is used to uniquely
57 identify this format.",
59 On the system level, a data format is usually just a number, (which
60 may be the CLIPFORMAT under Windows or Atom under X11, for example.)
62 The standard format IDs are:
64 ================ =====================================
65 wx.DF_INVALID An invalid format
66 wx.DF_TEXT Text format
67 wx.DF_BITMAP A bitmap (wx.Bitmap)
68 wx.DF_METAFILE A metafile (wx.Metafile, Windows only)
69 wx.DF_FILENAME A list of filenames
70 wx.DF_HTML An HTML string. This is only valid on
71 Windows and non-unicode builds
72 ================ =====================================
74 Aside the standard formats, the application may also use custom
75 formats which are identified by their names (strings) and not numeric
76 identifiers. Although internally custom format must be created (or
77 registered) first, you shouldn\'t care about it because it is done
78 automatically the first time the wxDataFormat object corresponding to
79 a given format name is created.

136 "A wx.DataObject represents data that can be copied to or from the
137 clipboard, or dragged and dropped. The important thing about
138 wx.DataObject is that this is a 'smart' piece of data unlike usual
139 'dumb' data containers such as memory buffers or files. Being 'smart'
140 here means that the data object itself should know what data formats
141 it supports and how to render itself in each of supported formats.
143 **NOTE**: This class is an abstract base class and can not be used
144 directly from Python. If you need a custom type of data object then
145 you should instead derive from `wx.PyDataObjectSimple` or use
146 `wx.CustomDataObject`.
148 Not surprisingly, being 'smart' comes at a price of added
149 complexity. This is reasonable for the situations when you really need
150 to support multiple formats, but may be annoying if you only want to
151 do something simple like cut and paste text.
153 To provide a solution for both cases, wxWidgets has two predefined
154 classes which derive from wx.DataObject: `wx.DataObjectSimple` and
155 `wx.DataObjectComposite`. `wx.DataObjectSimple` is the simplest
156 wx.DataObject possible and only holds data in a single format (such as
157 text or bitmap) and `wx.DataObjectComposite` is the simplest way to
158 implement a wx.DataObject which supports multiple simultaneous formats
159 because it achievs this by simply holding several
160 `wx.DataObjectSimple` objects.
162 Please note that the easiest way to use drag and drop and the
163 clipboard with multiple formats is by using `wx.DataObjectComposite`,
164 but it is not the most efficient one as each `wx.DataObjectSimple`
165 would contain the whole data in its respective formats. Now imagine
166 that you want to paste 200 pages of text in your proprietary format,
167 as well as Word, RTF, HTML, Unicode and plain text to the clipboard
168 and even today's computers are in trouble. For this case, you will
169 have to derive from wx.DataObject directly and make it enumerate its
170 formats and provide the data in the requested format on
171 demand. (**TODO**: This is currently not possible from Python. Make
174 Note that the platform transfer mechanisms for the clipboard and drag
175 and drop, do not copy any data out of the source application until
176 another application actually requests the data. This is in contrast to
177 the 'feel' offered to the user of a program who would normally think
178 that the data resides in the clipboard after having pressed 'Copy' -
179 in reality it is only declared to be available.
183 // There are several predefined data object classes derived from
184 // wxDataObjectSimple: wxFileDataObject, wxTextDataObject and
185 // wxBitmapDataObject which can be used without change.
