to change the file data you should use \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} class instead.
wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes.
+When working with directory names (i.e. without filename and extension)
+make sure not to misuse the file name part of this class with the last
+directory. Instead initialize the wxFileName instance like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxFileName dirname( wxT("C:\mydir"), wxEmptyString );
+MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The same can be done using the static method \helpref{wxFileName::DirName}{wxfilenamedirname}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxFileName dirname = wxFileName::DirName( wxT("C:\mydir") );
+MyMethod( dirname.GetPath() );
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Accordingly, methods dealing with directories or directory names
+like \helpref{IsDirReadable}{wxfilenameisdirreadable} use
+\helpref{GetPath}{wxfilenamegetpath} whereas methods dealing
+with file names like \helpref{IsFileReadable}{wxfilenameisfilereadable}
+use \helpref{GetFullPath}{wxfilenamegetfullpath}.
+
+If it is not known wether a string contains a directory name or
+a complete file name (such as when interpreting user input) you need to use
+the static function \helpref{wxFileName::DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists}
+(or its identical variants \helpref{wxDir::Exists}{wxdirexists} and
+\helpref{wxDirExists}{functionwxdirexists}) and construct the wxFileName
+instance accordingly. This will only work if the directory actually exists,
+of course:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxString user_input;
+// get input from user
+
+wxFileName fname;
+if (wxDirExists(user_input))
+ fname.AssignDir( user_input );
+else
+ fname.Assign( user_input );
+\end{verbatim}
+

\membersection{File name construction}\label{filenameconstruction}
-TODO.
+You can initialize a wxFileName instance using one of the following functions:
+
+\helpref{wxFileName constructors}{wxfilenamewxfilename}\\
+\helpref{Assign}{wxfilenameassign}\\
+\helpref{AssignCwd}{wxfilenameassigncwd}\\
+\helpref{AssignDir}{wxfilenameassigndir}\\
+\helpref{AssignHomeDir}{wxfilenameassignhomedir}\\
+\helpref{AssignHomeTempFileName}{wxfilenameassigntempfilename}\\
+\helpref{DirName}{wxfilenamedirname}\\
+\helpref{FileName}{wxfilenamefilename}\\
+\helpref{operator $=$}{wxfilenameoperatorassign}
\membersection{File tests}\label{filetests}
to test for directory existence.
File names should be compared using \helpref{SameAs}{wxfilenamesameas} method
-or \helpref{$==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}.
+or \helpref{operator $==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}.
+
+For testing basic access modes, you can use:
+
+\helpref{IsDirWritable}{wxfilenameisdirwritable}\\
+\helpref{IsDirReadable}{wxfilenameisdirreadable}\\
+\helpref{IsFileWritable}{wxfilenameisfilewritable}\\
+\helpref{IsFileReadable}{wxfilenameisfilereadable}\\
+\helpref{IsFileExecutable}{wxfilenameisfileexecutable}

+\membersection{wxFileName::GetTempDir}\label{wxfilenamegettempdir}
+
+\func{static wxString}{GetTempDir}{\void}
+
+Returns the directory used for temporary files.

\membersection{wxFileName::GetTimes}\label{wxfilenamegettimes}
\constfunc{bool}{GetTimes}{\param{wxDateTime* }{dtAccess}, \param{wxDateTime* }{dtMod}, \param{wxDateTime* }{dtCreate}}
retrieve the real file creation time there anyhow) which can also be changed
by many operations after the file creation.
+If no filename or extension is specified in this instance of wxFileName
+(and therefore \helpref{IsDir}{wxfilenameisdir} returns {\tt true}) then
+this function will return the directory times of the path specified by
+\helpref{GetPath}{wxfilenamegetpath}, otherwise the file times of the
+file specified by \helpref{GetFullPath}{wxfilenamegetfullpath}.
+
Any of the pointers may be {\tt NULL} if the corresponding time is not
needed.
Returns {\tt true} if the file names of this type are case-sensitive.
+\membersection{wxFileName::IsDirReadable}\label{wxfilenameisdirreadable}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsDirReadable}{\void}
+
+\func{static bool}{IsDirReadable}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}}
+
+Returns {\tt true} if the directory component of this instance (or given \arg{dir})
+is an existing directory and this process has read permissions on it.
+Read permissions on a directory mean that you can list the directory contents but it
+doesn't imply that you have read permissions on the files contained.
+
+
+\membersection{wxFileName::IsDirWritable}\label{wxfilenameisdirwritable}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsDirWritable}{\void}

+\func{static bool}{IsDirWritable}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}}
+
+Returns {\tt true} if the directory component of this instance (or given \arg{dir})
+is an existing directory and this process has write permissions on it.
+Write permissions on a directory mean that you can create new files in the directory.

+\membersection{wxFileName::IsFileExecutable}\label{wxfilenameisfileexecutable}

+\constfunc{bool}{IsFileExecutable}{\void}
+
+\func{static bool}{IsFileExecutable}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}}

+\constfunc{bool}{IsFileReadable}{\void}
