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 its +\helpref{CreateBitmap}{wxartprovidercreatebitmap} method and register the +provider with +\helpref{wxArtProvider::PushProvider}{wxartproviderpushprovider}: + +\begin{verbatim} + class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider + { + protected: + wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id, + const wxArtClient& client, + const wxSize size) + { ... } + }; + ... + wxArtProvider::PushProvider(new MyProvider); +\end{verbatim} + +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 \helpref{wxArtProvider::GetBitmap}{wxartprovidergetbitmap} or +\helpref{wxArtProvider::GetIcon}{wxartprovidergeticon} (NB: this is not yet really +possible as of wxWidgets 2.3.3, the set of wxArtProvider bitmaps is too +small). + +\membersection{Identifying art resources}\label{artprovideridentifying} + +Every bitmap is known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that is used by 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 \helpref{artprov}{sampleartprovider} sample): +\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt +\item wxART\_ADD\_BOOKMARK +\item wxART\_DEL\_BOOKMARK +\item wxART\_HELP\_SIDE\_PANEL +\item wxART\_HELP\_SETTINGS +\item wxART\_HELP\_BOOK +\item wxART\_HELP\_FOLDER +\item wxART\_HELP\_PAGE +\item wxART\_GO\_BACK +\item wxART\_GO\_FORWARD +\item wxART\_GO\_UP +\item wxART\_GO\_DOWN +\item wxART\_GO\_TO\_PARENT +\item wxART\_GO\_HOME +\item wxART\_FILE\_OPEN +\item wxART\_PRINT +\item wxART\_HELP +\item wxART\_TIP +\item wxART\_REPORT\_VIEW +\item wxART\_LIST\_VIEW +\item wxART\_NEW\_DIR +\item wxART\_FOLDER +\item wxART\_GO\_DIR\_UP +\item wxART\_EXECUTABLE\_FILE +\item wxART\_NORMAL\_FILE +\item wxART\_TICK\_MARK +\item wxART\_CROSS\_MARK +\item wxART\_ERROR +\item wxART\_QUESTION +\item wxART\_WARNING +\item wxART\_INFORMATION +\item wxART\_MISSING\_IMAGE +\end{itemize} + +Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using +\helpref{PushProvider}{wxartproviderpushprovider} may be used. + +\wxheading{GTK+ Note} + +When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. {\tt "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 +\urlref{freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification}{http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec}. Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all +icons, so wxArtProvider may return {\tt wxNullBitmap} or {\tt wxNullIcon}. +Default theme is typically installed in {\tt /usr/share/icons/hicolor}. + +\membersection{Clients}\label{artproviderclients} + +Client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap or GetIcon +function.

For example it is often desirable to use +slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent the +same action (e.g. {\tt wx\_ART\_FILE\_OPEN}).
