92 /**
93 @class wxArtProvider
94
95 wxArtProvider class is used to customize the look of wxWidgets application.
96
97 When wxWidgets needs to display an icon or a bitmap (e.g. in the standard file
98 dialog), it does not use a hard-coded resource but asks wxArtProvider for it
99 instead. This way users can plug in their own wxArtProvider class and easily
100 replace standard art with their own version.
101
102 All that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its
103 wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap() and/or its wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle() methods
104 and register the provider with wxArtProvider::Push():
105
106 @code
107 class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider
108 {
109 protected:
110 wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id,
111 const wxArtClient& client,
112 const wxSize size)
113
114 // optionally override this one as well
115 wxIconBundle CreateIconBundle(const wxArtID& id,
116 const wxArtClient& client)
117 { ... }
118 };
119 ...
120 wxArtProvider::Push(new MyProvider);
121 @endcode
122
123 If you need bitmap images (of the same artwork) that should be displayed at
124 different sizes you should probably consider overriding wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle
125 and supplying icon bundles that contain different bitmap sizes.
126
127 There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your
128 code and use platform native icons as provided by wxArtProvider::GetBitmap or
129 wxArtProvider::GetIcon.
130
131 @section artprovider_identify Identifying art resources
132
133 Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that
134 is used when requesting a resource from it. The ID is represented by the ::wxArtID type
135 and can have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these
136 constants in the @ref page_samples_artprov):
137

195 </td></tr>
196 </table>
197
198 Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using
199 wxArtProvider::Push may be used.
200
201 @note
202 When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. @c "gtk-cdrom") may be used
203 as well:
204 @code
205 #ifdef __WXGTK__
206 wxBitmap bmp = wxArtProvider::GetBitmap("gtk-cdrom", wxART_MENU);
207 #endif
208 @endcode
209 For a list of the GTK+ stock items please refer to the
210 <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Stock-Items.html">GTK+ documentation
211 page</a>.
212 It is also possible to load icons from the current icon theme by specifying their name
213 (without extension and directory components).
214 Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org
215 <a href="http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec">Icon Themes specification</a>.
216 Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all icons, so wxArtProvider may
217 return ::wxNullBitmap or ::wxNullIcon.
218 The default theme is typically installed in @c /usr/share/icons/hicolor.
219
220
221 @section artprovider_clients Clients
222
223 The @e client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap() or GetIcon() function.
224 It is represented by wxClientID type and can have one of these values:
225
226 @li @c wxART_TOOLBAR
227 @li @c wxART_MENU
228 @li @c wxART_BUTTON
229 @li @c wxART_FRAME_ICON
230 @li @c wxART_CMN_DIALOG
231 @li @c wxART_HELP_BROWSER
232 @li @c wxART_MESSAGE_BOX
233 @li @c wxART_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the
234 categories above)
235
236 Client ID serve as a hint to wxArtProvider that is supposed to help it to
237 choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use
238 slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent
239 the same action (e.g. wxART_FILE_OPEN). Remember that this is really only a
240 hint for wxArtProvider -- it is common that wxArtProvider::GetBitmap returns
241 identical bitmap for different client values!
