10 @class wxDataFormat
11
12 A wxDataFormat is an encapsulation of a platform-specific format handle
13 which is used by the system for the clipboard and drag and drop operations.
14 The applications are usually only interested in, for example, pasting data
15 from the clipboard only if the data is in a format the program understands
16 and a data format is something which uniquely identifies this format.
17
18 On the system level, a data format is usually just a number (@c CLIPFORMAT
19 under Windows or @c Atom under X11, for example) and the standard formats
20 are, indeed, just numbers which can be implicitly converted to wxDataFormat.
21 The standard formats are:
22
23 @beginDefList
24 @itemdef{wxDF_INVALID,
25 An invalid format - used as default argument for functions taking
26 a wxDataFormat argument sometimes.}
27 @itemdef{wxDF_TEXT,
28 Text format (wxString).}
29 @itemdef{wxDF_BITMAP,
30 A bitmap (wxBitmap).}
31 @itemdef{wxDF_METAFILE,
32 A metafile (wxMetafile, Windows only).}
33 @itemdef{wxDF_FILENAME,
34 A list of filenames.}
35 @itemdef{wxDF_HTML,
36 An HTML string. This is currently only valid on Mac and MSW.}
37 @endDefList
38
39 As mentioned above, these standard formats may be passed to any function
40 taking wxDataFormat argument because wxDataFormat has an implicit
41 conversion from them (or, to be precise from the type
42 @c wxDataFormat::NativeFormat which is the type used by the underlying
43 platform for data formats).
44
45 Aside the standard formats, the application may also use custom formats
46 which are identified by their names (strings) and not numeric identifiers.
47 Although internally custom format must be created (or @e registered) first,
48 you shouldn't care about it because it is done automatically the first time
49 the wxDataFormat object corresponding to a given format name is created.
50 The only implication of this is that you should avoid having global
51 wxDataFormat objects with non-default constructor because their
52 constructors are executed before the program has time to perform all
53 necessary initialisations and so an attempt to do clipboard format
54 registration at this time will usually lead to a crash!

131 /**
132 @class wxDataObject
133
134 A wxDataObject represents data that can be copied to or from the clipboard,
135 or dragged and dropped. The important thing about wxDataObject is that this
136 is a 'smart' piece of data unlike 'dumb' data containers such as memory
137 buffers or files. Being 'smart' here means that the data object itself
138 should know what data formats it supports and how to render itself in each
139 of its supported formats.
140
141 A supported format, incidentally, is exactly the format in which the data
142 can be requested from a data object or from which the data object may be
143 set. In the general case, an object may support different formats on
144 'input' and 'output', i.e. it may be able to render itself in a given
145 format but not be created from data on this format or vice versa.
146 wxDataObject defines the wxDataObject::Direction enumeration type which
147 distinguishes between them.
148
149 See wxDataFormat documentation for more about formats.
150
151 Not surprisingly, being 'smart' comes at a price of added complexity. This
152 is reasonable for the situations when you really need to support multiple
153 formats, but may be annoying if you only want to do something simple like
154 cut and paste text.
155
156 To provide a solution for both cases, wxWidgets has two predefined classes
157 which derive from wxDataObject: wxDataObjectSimple and
158 wxDataObjectComposite. wxDataObjectSimple is the simplest wxDataObject
159 possible and only holds data in a single format (such as HTML or text) and
160 wxDataObjectComposite is the simplest way to implement a wxDataObject that
161 does support multiple formats because it achieves this by simply holding
162 several wxDataObjectSimple objects.
163
164 So, you have several solutions when you need a wxDataObject class (and you
165 need one as soon as you want to transfer data via the clipboard or drag and
166 drop):
167
168 -# Use one of the built-in classes.
169 - You may use wxTextDataObject, wxBitmapDataObject wxFileDataObject,
170 wxURLDataObject in the simplest cases when you only need to support
171 one format and your data is either text, bitmap or list of files.
172 -# Use wxDataObjectSimple
173 - Deriving from wxDataObjectSimple is the simplest solution for custom
174 data - you will only support one format and so probably won't be able
175 to communicate with other programs, but data transfer will work in
176 your program (or between different instances of it).
177 -# Use wxDataObjectComposite
178 - This is a simple but powerful solution which allows you to support
179 any number of formats (either standard or custom if you combine it
180 with the previous solution).
181 -# Use wxDataObject directly
182 - This is the solution for maximum flexibility and efficiency, but it
183 is also the most difficult to implement.
184
185 Please note that the easiest way to use drag and drop and the clipboard
186 with multiple formats is by using wxDataObjectComposite, but it is not the
187 most efficient one as each wxDataObjectSimple would contain the whole data
188 in its respective formats. Now imagine that you want to paste 200 pages of
189 text in your proprietary format, as well as Word, RTF, HTML, Unicode and
190 plain text to the clipboard and even today's computers are in trouble. For
191 this case, you will have to derive from wxDataObject directly and make it
192 enumerate its formats and provide the data in the requested format on
193 demand.
194
195 Note that neither the GTK+ data transfer mechanisms for clipboard and drag
196 and drop, nor OLE data transfer, @e copies any data until another application
197 actually requests the data. This is in contrast to the 'feel' offered to
198 the user of a program who would normally think that the data resides in the
199 clipboard after having pressed 'Copy' - in reality it is only declared to
200 be @e available.
201
202 You may also derive your own data object classes from wxCustomDataObject
203 for user-defined types. The format of user-defined data is given as a
204 mime-type string literal, such as "application/word" or "image/png". These
205 strings are used as they are under Unix (so far only GTK+) to identify a
206 format and are translated into their Windows equivalent under Win32 (using
207 the OLE IDataObject for data exchange to and from the clipboard and for
208 drag and drop). Note that the format string translation under Windows is
209 not yet finished.
210
211 Each class derived directly from wxDataObject must override and implement
212 all of its functions which are pure virtual in the base class. The data
213 objects which only render their data or only set it (i.e. work in only one
214 direction), should return 0 from GetFormatCount().

666 wxTextDataObject is a specialization of wxDataObjectSimple for text data.
667 It can be used without change to paste data into the wxClipboard or a
668 wxDropSource. A user may wish to derive a new class from this class for
669 providing text on-demand in order to minimize memory consumption when
670 offering data in several formats, such as plain text and RTF because by
671 default the text is stored in a string in this class, but it might as well
672 be generated when requested. For this, GetTextLength() and GetText() will
673 have to be overridden.

676 achieve any efficiency gain by overriding these functions because copying
677 wxStrings is already a very efficient operation (data is not actually
678 copied because wxStrings are reference counted).
