Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxDocTemplate::wxDocTemplate ( wxDocManager manager,
const wxString descr,
const wxString filter,
const wxString dir,
const wxString ext,
const wxString docTypeName,
const wxString viewTypeName,
wxClassInfo docClassInfo = 0,
wxClassInfo viewClassInfo = 0,
long  flags = wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE 
)

Constructor.

Create instances dynamically near the start of your application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing any document or view operations.

Parameters
managerThe document manager object which manages this template.
descrA short description of what the template is for. This string will be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
filterAn appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
dirThe default directory to use for file selectors.
extThe default file extension (such as "txt").
docTypeNameA name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.
viewTypeNameA name that should be unique for a given view.
docClassInfoA pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and override the CreateDocument() member to return a new document instance on demand.
viewClassInfoA pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyViewClass). If this is not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and override the CreateView() member to return a new view instance on demand.
flagsA bit list of the following:
  • wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the user in dialogs.
  • wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to the user in dialogs.
  • wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.

wxPerl Note:

In wxPerl docClassInfo and viewClassInfo can be either Wx::ClassInfo objects or strings containing the name of the perl packages which are to be used as Wx::Document and Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new); as an example:

  • Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext, docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo, flags): will construct document and view objects from the class information.
  • Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext, docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName, flags): will construct document and view objects from perl packages.
  • Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext, docTypeName, viewTypeName): in this case Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and Wx::DocTemplate::CreateView() must be overridden
virtual wxDocTemplate::~wxDocTemplate ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual wxDocument* wxDocTemplate::CreateDocument ( const wxString path,
long  flags = 0 
)
virtual

Creates a new instance of the associated document class.

If you have not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you will need to override this function to return an appropriate document instance.

This function calls InitDocument() which in turns calls wxDocument::OnCreate().

virtual wxView* wxDocTemplate::CreateView ( wxDocument doc,
long  flags = 0 
)
virtual

Creates a new instance of the associated view class.

If you have not supplied a wxClassInfo parameter to the template constructor, you will need to override this function to return an appropriate view instance.

If the new view initialization fails, it must call wxDocument::RemoveView() for consistency with the default behaviour of this function.

virtual bool wxDocTemplate::FileMatchesTemplate ( const wxString path)
virtual

This function implements the default (very primitive) format detection which checks if the extension is that of the template.

Parameters
pathThe path to be checked against the template.
wxString wxDocTemplate::GetDefaultExtension ( ) const

Returns the default file extension for the document data, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxString wxDocTemplate::GetDescription ( ) const

Returns the text description of this template, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxString wxDocTemplate::GetDirectory ( ) const

Returns the default directory, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxClassInfo* wxDocTemplate::GetDocClassInfo ( ) const

Returns the run-time class information that allows document instances to be constructed dynamically, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxDocManager* wxDocTemplate::GetDocumentManager ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the document manager instance for which this template was created.

virtual wxString wxDocTemplate::GetDocumentName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the document type name, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxString wxDocTemplate::GetFileFilter ( ) const

Returns the file filter, as passed to the document template constructor.

long wxDocTemplate::GetFlags ( ) const

Returns the flags, as passed to the document template constructor.

wxPageSetupDialogData& wxDocTemplate::GetPageSetupDialogData ( )

Returns a reference to the wxPageSetupDialogData associated with the printing operations of this document manager.

const wxPageSetupDialogData& wxDocTemplate::GetPageSetupDialogData ( ) const

Returns a reference to the wxPageSetupDialogData associated with the printing operations of this document manager.

wxClassInfo* wxDocTemplate::GetViewClassInfo ( ) const

Returns the run-time class information that allows view instances to be constructed dynamically, as passed to the document template constructor.

virtual wxString wxDocTemplate::GetViewName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the view type name, as passed to the document template constructor.

virtual bool wxDocTemplate::InitDocument ( wxDocument doc,
const wxString path,
long  flags = 0 
)
virtual

Initialises the document, calling wxDocument::OnCreate().

This is called from CreateDocument().

If you override this method, notice that you must delete the doc if its initialization fails for consistency with the default behaviour.

Parameters
docThe document to initialize.
pathThe associated file path.
flagsFlags passed to CreateDocument().
Returns
true if the initialization was successful or false if it failed in which case doc should be deleted by this function.
bool wxDocTemplate::IsVisible ( ) const

Returns true if the document template can be shown in user dialogs, false otherwise.

void wxDocTemplate::SetDefaultExtension ( const wxString ext)

Sets the default file extension.

void wxDocTemplate::SetDescription ( const wxString descr)

Sets the template description.

void wxDocTemplate::SetDirectory ( const wxString dir)

Sets the default directory.

void wxDocTemplate::SetDocumentManager ( wxDocManager manager)

Sets the pointer to the document manager instance for which this template was created.

Should not be called by the application.

void wxDocTemplate::SetFileFilter ( const wxString filter)

Sets the file filter.

void wxDocTemplate::SetFlags ( long  flags)

Sets the internal document template flags (see the constructor description for more details).
