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
104 @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateView() must be overridden

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

133 If you have not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template
134 constructor, you will need to override this function to return an
135 appropriate view instance.

350 class wxDocManager
: public wxEvtHandler
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
361 OnCreateFileHistory functions to be called.
366 Indicates whether Initialize() should be called by this ctor.

411 Pointer to a wxDocTemplate, or @NULL if none found.
415 wxDocTemplate

419 Search for the document corresponding to the given file.
424 Pointer to a wxDocument, or @NULL if none found.

& path
) const;
431 Closes the specified document.
433 If @a force is @true, the document is closed even if it has unsaved
437 The document to close, must be non-@NULL.
439 If @true, close the document even if wxDocument::Close() returns
442 @true if the document was closed or @false if closing it was
443 cancelled by user (only in @a force = @false case).
445 bool CloseDocument(wxDocument
*doc
, bool force
= false);
448 Closes all currently opened documents.
452 bool CloseDocuments(bool force
= true);
455 Creates a new document.
457 This function can either create a document corresponding to a new
458 file or to an already existing one depending on whether @c wxDOC_NEW is
459 specified in the @a flags.
461 By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to
462 open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is
463 empty. Specifying @c wxDOC_SILENT flag suppresses any prompts and means
464 that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered
465 document template handling the extension of this file, otherwise a
466 warning message is logged and the function returns @NULL. Notice that
467 @c wxDOC_SILENT can be combined with @c wxDOC_NEW, however in this case
468 the @a path must still be specified, even if the file with this path
469 typically won't exist.
471 Finally notice that if this document manager was configured to allow
472 only a limited number of simultaneously opened documents using
473 SetMaxDocsOpen(), this function will try to close the oldest existing
474 document if this number was reached before creating a new document.
475 And if closing the old document fails (e.g. because it was vetoed by
476 user), this function fails as well.
479 Path to a file or an empty string. If the path is empty, the user
480 will be asked to select it (thus, this is incompatible with the use
481 of @c wxDOC_SILENT). The file should exist unless @a flags includes
484 By default, none. May include @c wxDOC_NEW to indicate that the new
485 document corresponds to a new file and not an existing one and
486 @c wxDOC_SILENT to suppress any dialogs asking the user about the
488 @return a new document object or @NULL on failure.
490 virtual wxDocument
* CreateDocument(const wxString
& path
, long flags
= 0);
493 Creates an empty new document.
495 This is equivalent to calling CreateDocument() with @c wxDOC_NEW flags
496 and without the file name.
498 wxDocument
*CreateNewDocument();
501 Creates a new view for the given document. If more than one view is
502 allowed for the document (by virtue of multiple templates mentioning
503 the same document type), a choice of view is presented to the user.
505 virtual wxView
* CreateView(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
= 0);
508 Removes the template from the list of templates.
510 void DisassociateTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* temp
);
513 Appends the files in the history list to all menus managed by the file
516 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu();
518 Appends the files in the history list to the given @a menu only.
520 virtual void FileHistoryAddFilesToMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
523 Loads the file history from a config object.
527 virtual void FileHistoryLoad(const wxConfigBase
& config
);
530 Removes the given menu from the list of menus managed by the file
533 virtual void FileHistoryRemoveMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
536 Saves the file history into a config object. This must be called
537 explicitly by the application.
541 virtual void FileHistorySave(wxConfigBase
& resourceFile
);
544 Use this menu for appending recently-visited document filenames, for
545 convenient access. Calling this function with a valid menu pointer
546 enables the history list functionality.
548 @note You can add multiple menus using this function, to be managed by
549 the file history object.
551 virtual void FileHistoryUseMenu(wxMenu
* menu
);
554 Given a path, try to find template that matches the extension. This is
555 only an approximate method of finding a template for creating a
558 virtual wxDocTemplate
* FindTemplateForPath(const wxString
& path
);
561 Returns the view to apply a user command to.
563 This method tries to find the view that the user wants to interact
564 with. It returns the same view as GetCurrentDocument() if there is any
565 currently active view but falls back to the first view of the first
566 document if there is no active view.
570 wxView
* GetAnyUsableView() const;
573 Returns the document associated with the currently active view (if
576 wxDocument
* GetCurrentDocument() const;
579 Returns the currently active view.
581 This method can return @NULL if no view is currently active.
583 @see GetAnyUsableView()
585 virtual wxView
* GetCurrentView() const;
588 Returns a vector of wxDocument pointers.
592 wxDocVector
GetDocumentsVector() const;
595 Returns a vector of wxDocTemplate pointers.
599 wxDocTemplateVector
GetTemplatesVector() const;
602 Returns a reference to the list of documents.
604 wxList
& GetDocuments();
607 Returns a pointer to file history.
609 virtual wxFileHistory
* GetFileHistory() const;
612 Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.
614 virtual size_t GetHistoryFilesCount() const;
617 Returns the directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
620 wxString
GetLastDirectory() const;
623 Returns the number of documents that can be open simultaneously.
625 int GetMaxDocsOpen() const;
628 Returns a reference to the list of associated templates.
630 wxList
& GetTemplates();
633 Initializes data; currently just calls OnCreateFileHistory().
635 Some data cannot always be initialized in the constructor because the
636 programmer must be given the opportunity to override functionality. If
637 OnCreateFileHistory() was called from the constructor, an overridden
638 virtual OnCreateFileHistory() would not be called due to C++'s
639 'interesting' constructor semantics. In fact Initialize() @e is called
640 from the wxDocManager constructor, but this can be vetoed by passing
641 @false to the second argument, allowing the derived class's constructor
642 to call Initialize(), possibly calling a different
643 OnCreateFileHistory() from the default.
645 The bottom line: if you're not deriving from Initialize(), forget it
646 and construct wxDocManager with no arguments.
648 virtual bool Initialize();
651 Return a string containing a suitable default name for a new document.
652 By default this is implemented by appending an integer counter to the
653 string @b unnamed but can be overridden in the derived classes to do
654 something more appropriate.
656 virtual wxString
MakeNewDocumentName();
659 A hook to allow a derived class to create a different type of file
660 history. Called from Initialize().
662 virtual wxFileHistory
* OnCreateFileHistory();
665 Closes and deletes the currently active document.
667 void OnFileClose(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
670 Closes and deletes all the currently opened documents.
672 void OnFileCloseAll(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
675 Creates a document from a list of templates (if more than one
678 void OnFileNew(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
681 Creates a new document and reads in the selected file.
683 void OnFileOpen(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
686 Reverts the current document by calling wxDocument::Revert() for the
689 void OnFileRevert(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
692 Saves the current document by calling wxDocument::Save() for the
695 void OnFileSave(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
698 Calls wxDocument::SaveAs() for the current document.
700 void OnFileSaveAs(wxCommandEvent
& event
);
703 Removes the document from the list of documents.
705 void RemoveDocument(wxDocument
* doc
);
708 Under Windows, pops up a file selector with a list of filters
709 corresponding to document templates. The wxDocTemplate corresponding to
710 the selected file's extension is returned.
712 On other platforms, if there is more than one document template a
713 choice list is popped up, followed by a file selector.
715 This function is used in CreateDocument().
718 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
719 If you override this method in your document manager it must
720 return two values, eg:
723 (doctemplate, path) = My::DocManager->SelectDocumentPath(...);
727 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentPath(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
728 int noTemplates
, wxString
& path
,
729 long flags
, bool save
= false);
732 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
733 one template). This function is used in CreateDocument().
736 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
739 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
741 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
742 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
743 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
744 dialog. Default is @false.
747 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
750 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectDocumentType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
755 Returns a document template by asking the user (if there is more than
756 one template), displaying a list of valid views. This function is used
757 in CreateView(). The dialog normally will not appear because the array
758 of templates only contains those relevant to the document in question,
759 and often there will only be one such.
762 Pointer to an array of templates from which to choose a desired
765 Number of templates being pointed to by the templates pointer.
767 If more than one template is passed into templates, then this
768 parameter indicates whether the list of templates that the user
769 will have to choose from is sorted or not when shown the choice box
770 dialog. Default is @false.
773 In wxPerl @a templates is a reference to a list of templates.
776 virtual wxDocTemplate
* SelectViewType(wxDocTemplate
** templates
,
777 int noTemplates
, bool sort
= false);
780 Sets the directory to be displayed to the user when opening a file.
781 Initially this is empty.
783 void SetLastDirectory(const wxString
& dir
);
786 Sets the maximum number of documents that can be open at a time. By
787 default, this is @c INT_MAX, i.e. the number of documents is unlimited.
788 If you set it to 1, existing documents will be saved and deleted when
789 the user tries to open or create a new one (similar to the behaviour of
790 Windows Write, for example). Allowing multiple documents gives
791 behaviour more akin to MS Word and other Multiple Document Interface
794 void SetMaxDocsOpen(int n
);
799 Called when a file selected from the MRU list doesn't exist any more.
801 The default behaviour is to remove the file from the MRU (most recently
802 used) files list and the corresponding menu and notify the user about
803 it but this method can be overridden to customize it.
805 For example, an application may want to just give an error about the
806 missing file @a filename but not remove it from the file history. Or it
807 could ask the user whether the file should be kept or removed.
809 Notice that this method is called only if the file selected by user
810 from the MRU files in the menu doesn't exist, but not if opening it
811 failed for any other reason because in the latter case the default
812 behaviour of removing the file from the MRU list is inappropriate.
813 If you still want to do it, you would need to do it by calling
814 RemoveFileFromHistory() explicitly in the part of the file opening code
820 The index of the file in the MRU list, it can be passed to
821 RemoveFileFromHistory() to remove this file from the list.
823 The full name of the file.
825 virtual void OnMRUFileNotExist(unsigned n
, const wxString
& filename
);
828 Create the frame used for print preview.
830 This method can be overridden if you need to change the behaviour or
831 appearance of the preview window. By default, a standard wxPreviewFrame
836 @param preview The associated preview object.
837 @param parent The parent window for the frame.
838 @param title The suggested title for the print preview frame.
839 @return A new print preview frame, must not return @NULL.
841 virtual wxPreviewFrame
* CreatePreviewFrame(wxPrintPreviewBase
* preview
,
843 const wxString
& title
);
846 The currently active view.
848 wxView
* m_currentView
;
851 Stores the integer to be used for the next default document name.
853 int m_defaultDocumentNameCounter
;
856 A list of all documents.
861 A pointer to an instance of wxFileHistory, which manages the history of
862 recently-visited files on the File menu.
864 wxFileHistory
* m_fileHistory
;
867 The directory last selected by the user when opening a file.
869 wxString m_lastDirectory
;
872 Stores the maximum number of documents that can be opened before
873 existing documents are closed.
875 By default, this is @c INT_MAX i.e. practically unlimited.
885 The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
886 an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework
887 supported by wxWidgets, and cooperates with the wxDocument, wxDocTemplate
888 and wxDocManager classes.
893 @see @ref overview_docview_wxview, wxDocument, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
895 class wxView
: public wxEvtHandler
899 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
900 application-specific data.
905 Destructor. Removes itself from the document's list of views.
910 Call this from your view frame's wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member
911 to tell the framework which view is currently active. If your windowing
912 system doesn't call wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate(), you may need to call
913 this function from any place where you know the view must be active,
914 and the framework will need to get the current view.
916 The prepackaged view frame wxDocChildFrame calls Activate() from its
917 wxDocChildFrame::OnActivate() member.
919 This function calls OnActivateView().
921 virtual void Activate(bool activate
);
924 Closes the view by calling OnClose(). If @a deleteWindow is @true, this
925 function should delete the window associated with the view.
927 virtual bool Close(bool deleteWindow
= true);
930 Gets a pointer to the document associated with the view.
932 wxDocument
* GetDocument() const;
935 Returns a pointer to the document manager instance associated with this
938 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
941 Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
942 "frame" is not a wxFrame at all in the generic MDI implementation which
943 uses notebook pages instead of frames and this is why this method
944 returns a wxWindow and not a wxFrame.
946 wxWindow
* GetFrame() const;
949 Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the wxDocTemplate
950 constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
952 wxString
GetViewName() const;
955 Called when a view is activated by means of Activate(). The default
956 implementation does nothing.
958 virtual void OnActivateView(bool activate
, wxView
* activeView
,
959 wxView
* deactiveView
);
962 Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation
963 constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
965 virtual void OnChangeFilename();
968 Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
969 wxDocument::Close() to close the associated document. Does not delete
970 the view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
971 this function, @e if a call to wxDocument::Close() succeeded. For
972 example, if your views all share the same window, you need to

974 @a deleteWindow is @true, delete the frame associated with the view.
976 virtual bool OnClose(bool deleteWindow
);
979 Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed.
981 virtual void OnClosingDocument();
984 wxDocManager or wxDocument creates a wxView via a wxDocTemplate. Just
985 after the wxDocTemplate creates the wxView, it calls OnCreate(). The
986 wxView can create a wxDocChildFrame (or derived class) in its
987 wxView::OnCreate() member function. This wxDocChildFrame provides user
988 interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
990 By default, simply returns @true. If the function returns @false, the
991 view will be deleted.
993 virtual bool OnCreate(wxDocument
* doc
, long flags
);
996 If the printing framework is enabled in the library, this function
997 returns a wxPrintout object for the purposes of printing. It should
998 create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
1001 By default, this function returns an instance of wxDocPrintout, which
1002 prints and previews one page by calling OnDraw().
1004 Override to return an instance of a class other than wxDocPrintout.
1006 virtual wxPrintout
* OnCreatePrintout();
1009 Override this function to render the view on the given device context.
1011 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC

1014 Called when the view should be updated.
1017 A pointer to the wxView that sent the update request, or @NULL if
1018 no single view requested the update (for instance, when the
1019 document is opened).
1021 This is unused currently, but may in future contain
1022 application-specific information for making updating more
1025 virtual void OnUpdate(wxView

= 0);
1028 Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the
1031 virtual void SetDocument(wxDocument
* doc

1034 Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
1035 this if possible, to tell the view about the frame.
1037 See GetFrame() for the explanation about the mismatch between the
1038 "Frame" in the method name and the type of its parameter.
1040 void SetFrame(wxWindow
* frame
);
1043 Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
1045 void SetViewName(const wxString
& name
);
1048 The document associated with this view. There may be more than one view
1049 per document, but there can never be more than one document for one
1052 wxDocument

1070 @class wxDocChildFrame
1072 The wxDocChildFrame class provides a default frame for displaying documents
1073 on separate windows. This class can only be used for SDI (not MDI) child
1076 The class is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets,
1077 and cooperates with the wxView, wxDocument, wxDocManager and wxDocTemplate
1080 Notice that this class handles ::wxEVT_ACTIVATE event and activates the
1081 child view on receiving it. Don't intercept this event unless you want to
1082 prevent from this happening.
1084 The same remark applies to ::wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW, as wxDocParentFrame the
1085 frame handles this event by trying to close the associated view.

1146 The wxDocParentFrame class provides a default top-level frame for
1147 applications using the document/view framework. This class can only be used
1148 for SDI (not MDI) parent frames.
1150 It cooperates with the wxView, wxDocument, wxDocManager and wxDocTemplate
1153 Notice that this class processes ::wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW event and tries to
1154 close all open views from its handler. If all the views can be closed, i.e.
1155 if none of them contains unsaved changes or the user decides to not save
1156 them, the window is destroyed. Don't intercept this event in your code
1157 unless you want to replace this logic.

1195 Returns the associated document manager object.
1197 wxDocManager
* GetDocumentManager() const;
1205 The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
1207 It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
1208 cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
1210 A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
1211 associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
1212 special kind of documents called <em>child documents</em> which are virtual
1213 in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
1214 their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
1215 created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
1216 (usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
1217 saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
1218 This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
1219 closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
1220 convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
1221 main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
1222 documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
1223 parameters of the image opened in the main document.
1228 @see @ref overview_docview, wxView, wxDocTemplate, wxDocManager
1230 class wxDocument
: public wxEvtHandler
1234 Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize
1235 application-specific data.
1238 Specifying a non-@c NULL parent document here makes this document a
1239 special <em>child document</em>, see their description in the class
1240 documentation. Notice that this parameter exists but is ignored in
1241 wxWidgets versions prior to 2.9.1.
1243 wxDocument(wxDocument
* parent
= NULL
);
1246 Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.
1248 virtual ~wxDocument();
1251 If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and
1252 calls OnChangedViewList().
1254 virtual bool AddView(wxView
* view
);
1257 Returns true if the document hasn't been modified since the last time
1260 Notice that this function returns @false if the document had been never
1261 saved at all, so it may be also used to test whether it makes sense to
1262 save the document: if it returns @true, there is nothing to save but if
1263 @false is returned, it can be saved, even if it might be not modified
1264 (this can be used to create an empty document file by the user).
1266 @see IsModified(), GetDocumentSaved()
1270 bool AlreadySaved() const;
1273 Activate the first view of the document if any.
1275 This function simply calls the Raise() method of the frame of the first
1276 view. You may need to override the Raise() method to get the desired
1277 effect if you are not using a standard wxFrame for your view. For
1278 instance, if your document is inside its own notebook tab you could
1279 implement Raise() like this:
1282 void MyNotebookPage::Raise()
1284 wxNotebook* notebook = wxStaticCast(GetParent(), wxNotebook);
1285 notebook->SetSelection(notebook->FindPage(this));
1293 void Activate() const;
1296 Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified() and then (if this
1297 returned @true) OnCloseDocument(). This does not normally delete the
1298 document object, use DeleteAllViews() to do this implicitly.
1300 virtual bool Close();
1303 Calls wxView::Close() and deletes each view. Deleting the final view
1304 will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView
1305 destructor calls RemoveView(). This in turns calls OnChangedViewList(),
1306 whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no
1309 virtual bool DeleteAllViews();
1312 Virtual method called from OnCloseDocument().
1314 This method may be overridden to perform any additional cleanup which
1315 might be needed when the document is closed.
1317 The return value of this method is currently ignored.
1319 The default version does nothing and simply returns @true.
1321 virtual bool DeleteContents();
1324 Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this
1327 @see wxCommandProcessor
1329 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* GetCommandProcessor() const;
1332 Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.
1334 virtual wxDocManager

1337 Gets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1338 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1340 wxString
GetDocumentName() const;
1343 Return true if this document had been already saved.
1347 bool GetDocumentSaved() const;
1350 Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.
1352 virtual wxDocTemplate
* GetDocumentTemplate() const;
1355 Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for
1356 document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated
1357 with the first view.
1359 virtual wxWindow
* GetDocumentWindow() const;
1362 Gets the filename associated with this document, or "" if none is
1365 wxString
GetFilename() const;
1368 A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in
1369 many cases a document will only have a single view.
1373 wxView
* GetFirstView() const;
1376 Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1377 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1380 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1383 Return the document name suitable to be shown to the user. The default
1384 implementation uses the document title, if any, of the name part of the
1385 document filename if it was set or, otherwise, the string @b unnamed.
1387 virtual wxString
GetUserReadableName() const;
1390 Returns a vector of wxView pointers.
1394 wxViewVector
GetViewsVector() const;
1398 Returns the list whose elements are the views on the document.
1403 const wxList
& GetViews() const;
1407 Returns true if this document is a child document corresponding to a
1408 part of the parent document and not a disk file as usual.
1410 This method can be used to check whether file-related operations make
1411 sense for this document as they only apply to top-level documents and
1416 bool IsChildDocument() const;
1419 Returns @true if the document has been modified since the last save,
1420 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1421 maintains its own record of being modified.
1425 virtual bool IsModified() const;
1429 Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject() before
1430 streaming your own data. LoadObject() is called by the framework
1431 automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.
1433 @note This version of LoadObject() may not exist depending on how
1434 wxWidgets was configured.
1436 virtual istream
& LoadObject(istream
& stream
);
1437 virtual wxInputStream
& LoadObject(wxInputStream
& stream
);
1441 Call with @true to mark the document as modified since the last save,
1442 @false otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view
1443 maintains its own record of being modified.
1447 virtual void Modify(bool modify
);
1450 Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The
1451 default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist
1452 (the last one has just been removed).
1454 virtual void OnChangedViewList();
1457 This virtual function is called when the document is being closed.
1459 The default implementation calls DeleteContents() (which may be
1460 overridden to perform additional cleanup) and sets the modified flag to
1461 @false. You can override it to supply additional behaviour when the
1462 document is closed with Close().
1464 Notice that previous wxWidgets versions used to call this function also
1465 from OnNewDocument(), rather counter-intuitively. This is no longer the
1466 case since wxWidgets 2.9.0.
1468 virtual bool OnCloseDocument();
1471 Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to
1474 The default implementation uses the template associated with the
1475 document to create an initial view.
1477 For compatibility reasons, this method may either delete the document
1478 itself if its initialization fails or not do it in which case it is
1479 deleted by caller. It is recommended to delete the document explicitly
1480 in this function if it can't be initialized.
1483 The associated file path.
1485 Flags passed to CreateDocument().
1487 @true if the initialization was successful or @false if it failed.
1489 virtual bool OnCreate(const wxString
& path
, long flags
);
1492 Override this function if you want a different (or no) command
1493 processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it
1494 returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.
1496 @see wxCommandProcessor
1498 virtual wxCommandProcessor
* OnCreateCommandProcessor();
1501 The default implementation calls OnSaveModified() and DeleteContents(),
1502 makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the
1503 filename (in fact, the title) has changed.
1505 virtual bool OnNewDocument();
1508 Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not
1509 be empty), and calls LoadObject(). If LoadObject() returns @true, the
1510 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1511 displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has
1512 changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of
1513 the document's views are then updated.
1515 virtual bool OnOpenDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1518 Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not
1519 be empty), and calls SaveObject(). If SaveObject() returns @true, the
1520 document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is
1523 virtual bool OnSaveDocument(const wxString
& filename
);
1526 If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the
1527 changes should be saved. If the user replies Yes, the Save() function
1528 is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function
1529 succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.
1531 virtual bool OnSaveModified();
1534 Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls
1535 OnChangedViewList().
1537 virtual bool RemoveView(wxView
* view
);
1540 Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument() if there is an
1541 associated filename, or SaveAs() if there is no filename.
1543 virtual bool Save();
1546 Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls
1549 virtual bool SaveAs();
1552 Discard changes and load last saved version.
1554 Prompts the user first, and then calls DoOpenDocument() to reload the
1557 virtual bool Revert();
1561 Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject() before
1562 streaming your own data. SaveObject() is called by the framework
1563 automatically when the document contents need to be saved.
1565 @note This version of SaveObject() may not exist depending on how
1566 wxWidgets was configured.

1573 Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document
1574 will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call
1575 this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor() instead.
1577 @see wxCommandProcessor
1579 virtual void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor
* processor
);
1582 Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for
1583 @ref m_documentTypeName.
1585 void SetDocumentName(const wxString
& name
);
1588 Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only
1589 be called by the framework.
1591 virtual void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate
* templ
);
1594 Sets if this document has been already saved or not.
1596 Normally there is no need to call this function as the document-view
1597 framework does it itself as the documents are loaded from and saved to
1598 the files. However it may be useful in some particular cases, for
1599 example it may be called with @false argument to prevent the user
1600 from saving the just opened document into the same file if this
1601 shouldn't be done for some reason (e.g. file format version changes and
1602 a new extension should be used for saving).
1604 @see GetDocumentSaved(), AlreadySaved()
1606 void SetDocumentSaved(bool saved
= true);
1609 Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.
1611 Calls OnChangeFilename() which in turn calls wxView::OnChangeFilename() for
1612 all views if @a notifyViews is @true.
1614 void SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
, bool notifyViews
= false);
1617 If @a notifyViews is @true, wxView::OnChangeFilename() is called for
1622 virtual void OnChangeFilename(bool notifyViews
);
1625 Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an
1626 associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework
1629 void SetTitle(const wxString
& title
);
1632 Updates all views. If @a sender is non-@NULL, does not update this
1633 view. @a hint represents optional information to allow a view to
1634 optimize its update.
1636 virtual void UpdateAllViews(wxView
* sender
= NULL
, wxObject
* hint
= NULL
);
1640 This method is called by OnSaveDocument() to really save the document
1641 contents to the specified file.
