\section{\class{wxStandardPaths}}\label{wxstandardpaths}
wxStandardPaths returns the standard locations in the file system and should be
used by applications to find their data files in a portable way.
-Please note that this is not a real class because object of this type are never
-created but more a namespace containing the class methods which are all static,
-so to use wxStandardPaths simply call its methods directly.
-
In the description of the methods below, the example return values are given
for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note that these are
just the examples and the actual values may differ. For example, under Windows:
\wxheading{Include files}
-<wx/fileloc.h>
+<wx/stdpaths.h>
\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}
+\membersection{wxStandardPaths::Get}\label{wxstandardpathsget}
+
+\func{static wxStandardPathsBase\&}{Get}{\void}
+
+Returns reference to the unique global standard paths object.
+

\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetConfigDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetconfigdir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetConfigDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetConfigDir}{\void}
Return the directory containing the system config files.
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetDataDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetdatadir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetDataDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetDataDir}{\void}
Return the location of the applications global, i.e. not user-specific,
data files.
Example return values:
\begin{itemize}
\item Unix: \texttt{\textit{prefix}/share/\textit{appname}}
- \item Windows: \texttt{C:$\backslash$Program Files$\backslash$\textit{appname}}
+ \item Windows: the directory where the executable file is located
\item Mac: \texttt{\textit{appname}.app/Contents/SharedSupport} bundle subdirectory
\end{itemize}
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetInstallPrefix}\label{wxstandardpathsgetinstallprefix}
-\func{static wxString}{GetInstallPrefix}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetInstallPrefix}{\void}
\textbf{Note: } This function is only available under Unix.
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetLocalDataDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetlocaldatadir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetLocalDataDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetLocalDataDir}{\void}
Return the location for application data files which are host-specific and
can't, or shouldn't, be shared with the other machines.
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetPluginsDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetpluginsdir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetPluginsDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetPluginsDir}{\void}
Return the directory where the loadable modules (plugins) live.
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetUserConfigDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetuserconfigdir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserConfigDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetUserConfigDir}{\void}
Return the directory for the user config files:
\begin{itemize}
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetuserdatadir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserDataDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetUserDataDir}{\void}
Return the directory for the user-dependent application data files:
\begin{itemize}
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::GetUserLocalDataDir}\label{wxstandardpathsgetuserlocaldatadir}
-\func{static wxString}{GetUserLocalDataDir}{\void}
+\func{wxString}{GetUserLocalDataDir}{\void}
Return the directory for user data files which shouldn't be shared with
the other machines.
\membersection{wxStandardPaths::SetInstallPrefix}\label{wxstandardpathssetinstallprefix}
-\func{static void}{SetInstallPrefix}{\param{const wxString\& }{prefix}}
+\func{void}{SetInstallPrefix}{\param{const wxString\& }{prefix}}
\textbf{Note:} This function is only available under Unix.
