\membersection{wxFileSystem::wxFileSystem}\label{wxfilesystemwxfilesystem}
\func{}{wxFileSystem}{\void}
Constructor.
+\membersection{wxFileSystem::AddHandler}\label{wxfilesystemaddhandler}
+
+\func{static void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxFileSystemHandler }{*handler}}
+
+This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers.
+The \helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} provide access to virtual FS.
+
+\wxheading{Note}
+
+You can call:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new My_FS_Handler);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This is because (a) AddHandler is a static method, and (b) the handlers
+are deleted in wxFileSystem's destructor so that you don't have to
+care about it.

\membersection{wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo}\label{wxfilesystemchangepathto}
\func{void}{ChangePathTo}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}, \param{bool }{is\_dir = FALSE}}
f = fs -> OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'subdir/folder/hello.htm' !!
\end{verbatim}
-
\membersection{wxFileSystem::GetPath}\label{wxfilesystemgetpath}
\func{wxString}{GetPath}{\void}
Returns actual path (set by \helpref{ChangePathTo}{wxfilesystemchangepathto}).
-\membersection{wxFileSystem::OpenFile}\label{wxfilesystemopenfile}
+\membersection{wxFileSystem::FindFirst}\label{wxfilesystemfindfirst}
-\func{wxFSFile*}{OpenFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
+\func{wxString}{FindFirst}{\param{const wxString\& }{wildcard}, \param{int }{flags = 0}}
-Opens file and returns pointer to \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfile} object
-or NULL if failed. It first tries to open the file in relative scope
-(based on value passed to ChangePathTo() method) and then as an
-absolute path.
+Works like \helpref{wxFindFirstFile}{wxfindfirstfile}. Returns name of the first
+filename (withing filesystem's current path) that matches {\it wildcard}. {\it flags} may be one of
+wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
+\membersection{wxFileSystem::FindNext}\label{wxfilesystemfindnext}
-\membersection{wxFileSystem::AddHandler}\label{wxfilesystemaddhandler}
+\func{wxString}{FindNext}{\void}
-\func{static void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxFileSystemHandler }{*handler}}
+Returns next filename that matches parameters passed to \helpref{FindFirst}{wxfilesystemfindfirst}.
-This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers.
-The \helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} provide access to virtual FS.
-\wxheading{Note}
+\membersection{wxFileSystem::OpenFile}\label{wxfilesystemopenfile}
-You can call
+\func{wxFSFile*}{OpenFile}{\param{const wxString\& }{location}}
-\begin{verbatim}
-wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new My_FS_Handler);
-\end{verbatim}
+Opens file and returns pointer to \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfile} object
+or NULL if failed. It first tries to open the file in relative scope
+(based on value passed to ChangePathTo() method) and then as an
+absolute path.
-This is because a) AddHandler is static method and b) the handlers
-are deleted in wxFileSystem's destructor so that you don't have to
-care about it.
