wxArtProvider class is used to customize the look of wxWidgets application.
+
When wxWidgets needs to display an icon or a bitmap (e.g. in the standard file
dialog), it does not use a hard-coded resource but asks wxArtProvider for it
instead. This way users can plug in their own wxArtProvider class and easily
- replace standard art with their own version. All
- that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its
- wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap and/or its
- wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle methods
- and register the provider with
- wxArtProvider::Push:
+ replace standard art with their own version.

+ All that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its
+ wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap and/or its wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle methods

@code
- class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider
+ class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider
{
protected:
wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id,
@endcode
If you need bitmap images (of the same artwork) that should be displayed at
- different sizes
- you should probably consider overriding wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle
+ different sizes you should probably consider overriding wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle
and supplying icon bundles that contain different bitmap sizes.
There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your
- code and use
- platform native icons as provided by wxArtProvider::GetBitmap or
- wxArtProvider::GetIcon (NB: this is not yet really
- possible as of wxWidgets 2.3.3, the set of wxArtProvider bitmaps is too
- small).

- wxArtProvider::~wxArtProvider
- wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap
- wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle
- wxArtProvider::Delete
- wxArtProvider::GetBitmap
- wxArtProvider::GetIconBundle
- wxArtProvider::GetIcon
- wxArtProvider::Insert
- wxArtProvider::Pop
- wxArtProvider::Push
- wxArtProvider::Remove
+ code and use platform native icons as provided by wxArtProvider::GetBitmap or
+ wxArtProvider::GetIcon.
+ @todo IS THIS NB TRUE?
+ (NB: this is not yet really possible as of wxWidgets 2.3.3, the set of wxArtProvider
+ bitmaps is too small).
- Identifying art resources
+ @section wxartprovider_identify Identifying art resources
Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that
- is used when
- requesting a resource from it. The ID is represented by wxArtID type and can
- have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these
- constants in the artprov sample):
-
- wxART_ERROR
- wxART_QUESTION
- wxART_WARNING
- wxART_INFORMATION
- wxART_ADD_BOOKMARK
- wxART_DEL_BOOKMARK
- wxART_HELP_SIDE_PANEL
- wxART_HELP_SETTINGS
- wxART_HELP_BOOK
- wxART_HELP_FOLDER
- wxART_HELP_PAGE
- wxART_GO_BACK
- wxART_GO_FORWARD

Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using
wxArtProvider::Push may be used.
+ @note
+ When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. @c "gtk-cdrom") may be used
+ as well. Additionally, if wxGTK was compiled against GTK+ >= 2.4, then it is also
+ possible to load icons from current icon theme by specifying their name (without
+ extension and directory components).
+ Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification
+ (see http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec).
+ Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all icons, so wxArtProvider may
+ return ::wxNullBitmap or ::wxNullIcon.
+ The default theme is typically installed in @c /usr/share/icons/hicolor.
+
+
+ @section wxartprovider_clients Clients
+
+ Client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap or GetIcon function.
+ It is represented by wxClientID type and can have one of these values:
+
+ @li wxART_TOOLBAR
+ @li wxART_MENU
+ @li wxART_BUTTON
+ @li wxART_FRAME_ICON
+ @li wxART_CMN_DIALOG
+ @li wxART_HELP_BROWSER
+ @li wxART_MESSAGE_BOX
+ @li wxART_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the
+ categories above)
+
+ Client ID servers as a hint to wxArtProvider that is supposed to help it to
+ choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use
+ slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent
+ the same action (e.g. wxART_FILE_OPEN). Remember that this is really only a
+ hint for wxArtProvider -- it is common that wxArtProvider::GetBitmap returns
+ identical bitmap for different client values!
