\section{\class{wxArchiveClassFactory}}\label{wxarchiveclassfactory}
-An abstract base class which serves as a common interface to
-archive class factories such as \helpref{wxZipClassFactory}{wxzipclassfactory}.
+Allows the creation of streams to handle archive formats such
+as zip and tar.
+
+For example, given a filename you can search for a factory that will
+handle it and create a stream to read it:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::Find(filename, wxSTREAM_FILEEXT);
+ if (factory)
+ stream = factory->NewStream(new wxFFileInputStream(filename));
+
+\end{verbatim}
-For each supported archive type (such as zip) there is a class factory
-derived from wxArchiveClassFactory, which allows archive objects to be
-created in a generic way, without knowing the particular type of archive
-being used.
+\helpref{Find()}{wxarchiveclassfactoryfind} can also search
+for a factory by MIME type or wxFileSystem protocol.
+The available factories can be enumerated
+using \helpref{GetFirst() and GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.

+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::CanHandle}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorycanhandle}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{CanHandle}{\param{const wxChar* }{protocol}, \param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
+
+Returns true if this factory can handle the given protocol, MIME type
+or file extension.
+
+When using wxSTREAM\_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
+can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.
+
+
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::Find}\label{wxarchiveclassfactoryfind}
+
+\func{static const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{Find}{\param{const wxChar* }{protocol}, \param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
+
+A static member that finds a factory that can handle a given protocol, MIME
+type or file extension. Returns a pointer to the class factory if found, or
+NULL otherwise. It does not give away ownership of the factory.
+
+When using wxSTREAM\_FILEEXT for the second parameter, the first parameter
+can be a complete filename rather than just an extension.
+
+
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst/GetNext}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}
+
+\func{static const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{GetFirst}{\void}
+
+\constfunc{const wxArchiveClassFactory*}{GetNext}{\void}
+
+GetFirst and GetNext can be used to enumerate the available factories.
+
+For example, to list them:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString list;
+ const wxArchiveClassFactory *factory = wxArchiveClassFactory::GetFirst();
+
+ while (factory) {
+ list << factory->GetProtocol() << _T("\n");
+ factory = factory->GetNext();
+ }
+
+\end{verbatim}
+
+GetFirst()/GetNext() return a pointer to a factory or NULL if no more
+are available. They do not give away ownership of the factory.
+
+
\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetInternalName}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetinternalname}
\constfunc{wxString}{GetInternalName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
\helpref{wxZipEntry::GetInternalName()}{wxzipentrygetinternalname}.
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetProtocol}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetprotocol}
+
+\constfunc{wxString}{GetProtocol}{\void}
+
+Returns the wxFileSystem protocol supported by this factory. Equivalent
+to wxString(*GetProtcols()).
+
+
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::GetProtocols}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorygetprotocols}
+
+\constfunc{const wxChar * const*}{GetProtocols}{\param{wxStreamProtocolType }{type = wxSTREAM\_PROTOCOL}}
+
+Returns the protocols, MIME types or file extensions supported by this
+factory, as an array of null terminated strings. It does not give away
+ownership of the array or strings.
+
+For example, to list the file extensions a factory supports:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString list;
+ const wxChar *const *p;
+
+ for (p = factory->GetProtocols(wxSTREAM_FILEEXT); *p; p++)
+ list << *p << _T("\n");
+
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::NewEntry}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorynewentry}
\constfunc{wxArchiveEntry*}{NewEntry}{\void}
\constfunc{wxArchiveOutputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\& }{stream}}
-Create a new \helpref{wxArchiveInputStream}{wxarchiveinputstream}
-or \helpref{wxArchiveOutputStream}{wxarchiveoutputstream} of the
-appropriate type.
+\constfunc{wxArchiveInputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxInputStream* }{stream}}
+
+\constfunc{wxArchiveOutputStream*}{NewStream}{\param{wxOutputStream* }{stream}}
+
+Create a new input or output stream to read or write an archive.
+
+If the parent stream is passed as a pointer then the new archive stream
+takes ownership of it. If it is passed by reference then it does not.
+
+
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::PushFront}\label{wxarchiveclassfactorypushfront}
+
+\func{void}{PushFront}{\void}
+
+Adds this class factory to the list returned
+by \helpref{GetFirst()/GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.
+
+It is not necessary to do this to use the archive streams. It is usually
+used when implementing streams, typically the implementation will
+add a static instance of its factory class.
+
+It can also be used to change the order of a factory already in the list,
+bringing it to the front. This isn't a thread safe operation
+so can't be done when other threads are running that will be using the list.
+
+The list does not take ownership of the factory.
+
+
+\membersection{wxArchiveClassFactory::Remove}\label{wxarchiveclassfactoryremove}
+
+\func{void}{Remove}{\void}
+
+Removes this class factory from the list returned
+by \helpref{GetFirst()/GetNext()}{wxarchiveclassfactorygetfirst}.
+
+Removing from the list isn't a thread safe operation
+so can't be done when other threads are running that will be using the list.
+
+The list does not own the factories, so removing a factory does not delete it.
