wxDocument: wxEvtHandler

Overview

The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data. It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWindows, and cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.

wxDocument::documentFile

char * documentFile

Filename associated with this document (NULL if none).


wxDocument::documentModified

Bool documentModified

TRUE if the document has been modified, FALSE otherwise.


wxDocument::documentTemplate

wxDocTemplate * documentTemplate

A pointer to the template from which this document was created.


wxDocument::documentTitle

char * documentTitle

Document title (may be NULL). The document title is used for an associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from the filename.


wxDocument::documentTypeName

char * documentTypeName

The document type name given to the wxDocTemplate constructor, copied to this variable when the document is created. If several document templates are created that use the same document type, this variable is used in wxDocManager::CreateView to collate a list of alternative view types that can be used on this kind of document. Do not change the value of this variable.


wxDocument::documentViews

wxList documentViews

List of wxView instances associated with this document.


wxDocument::wxDocument

void wxDocument(void)

Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize application-specific data.


wxDocument::~wxDocument

void ~wxDocument(void)

Destructor. Removes itself from the document manager.


wxDocument::AddView

Bool AddView(wxView *view)

If the view is not already in the list of views, adds the view and calls OnChangedViewList.


wxDocument::Close

Bool Close(void)

Closes the document, by calling OnSaveModified and then (if this returned TRUE) OnCloseDocument. This does not normally delete the document object: use DeleteAllViews to do this implicitly.


wxDocument::DeleteAllViews

Bool DeleteAllViews(void)

Calls wxView::Close and deletes each view. Deleting the final view will implicitly delete the document itself, because the wxView destructor calls RemoveView. This in turns calls wxDocument::OnChangedViewList, whose default implemention is to save and delete the document if no views exist.


wxDocument::GetCommandProcessor

wxCommandProcessor * GetCommandProcessor(void)

Returns a pointer to the command processor associated with this document.

See wxCommandProcessor.


wxDocument::GetDocumentTemplate

wxDocTemplate * GetDocumentTemplate(void)

Gets a pointer to the template that created the document.


wxDocument::GetDocumentManager

wxDocManager * GetDocumentManager(void)

Gets a pointer to the associated document manager.


wxDocument::GetDocumentName

char * GetDocumentName(void)

Gets the document type name for this document. See the comment for documentTypeName.


wxDocument::GetDocumentWindow

wxWindow * GetDocumentWindow(void)

Intended to return a suitable window for using as a parent for document-related dialog boxes. By default, uses the frame associated with the first view.


wxDocument::GetFilename

char * GetFilename(void)

Gets the filename associated with this document, or NULL if none is associated.


wxDocument::GetFirstView

wxView * GetFirstView(void)

A convenience function to get the first view for a document, because in many cases a document will only have a single view.


wxDocument::GetPrintableName

void GetPrintableName(char *name)

Copies a suitable document name into the supplied name buffer. The default function uses the title, or if there is no title, uses the filename; or if no filename, the string unnamed.


wxDocument::GetTitle

char * GetTitle(void)

Gets the title for this document. The document title is used for an associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from the filename.


wxDocument::IsModified

Bool IsModified(void)

Returns TRUE if the document has been modified since the last save, FALSE otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view maintains its own record of being modified (for example if using wxTextWindow to view and edit the document).

See also Modify.


wxDocument::LoadObject

istream& LoadObject(istream& stream)

Override this function and call it from your own LoadObject before streaming your own data. LoadObject is called by the framework automatically when the document contents need to be loaded.


wxDocument::Modify

void IsModify(Bool modify)

Call with TRUE to mark the document as modified since the last save, FALSE otherwise. You may need to override this if your document view maintains its own record of being modified (for example if using wxTextWindow to view and edit the document).

See also IsModified.


wxDocument::OnChangedViewList

void OnChangedViewList(void)

Called when a view is added to or deleted from this document. The default implementation saves and deletes the document if no views exist (the last one has just been removed).


wxDocument::OnCloseDocument

Bool OnCloseDocument(void)

The default implementation calls DeleteContents (an empty implementation) sets the modified flag to FALSE. Override this to supply additional behaviour when the document is closed with Close.


wxDocument::OnCreate

Bool OnCreate(const char *path, long flags)

Called just after the document object is created to give it a chance to initialize itself. The default implementation uses the template associated with the document to create an initial view. If this function returns FALSE, the document is deleted.


wxDocument::OnCreateCommandProcessor

wxCommandProcessor * OnCreateCommandProcessor(void)

Override this function if you want a different (or no) command processor to be created when the document is created. By default, it returns an instance of wxCommandProcessor.

See wxCommandProcessor.


wxDocument::OnNewDocument

Bool OnNewDocument(void)

The default implementation calls OnSaveModified and DeleteContents, makes a default title for the document, and notifies the views that the filename (in fact, the title) has changed.


wxDocument::OnOpenDocument

Bool OnOpenDocument(char *filename)

Constructs an input file stream for the given filename (which must not be NULL), and calls LoadObject. If LoadObject returns TRUE, the document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is displayed. The document's views are notified that the filename has changed, to give windows an opportunity to update their titles. All of the document's views are then updated.


wxDocument::OnSaveDocument

Bool OnSaveDocument(char *filename)

Constructs an output file stream for the given filename (which must not be NULL), and calls SaveObject. If SaveObject returns TRUE, the document is set to unmodified; otherwise, an error message box is displayed.


wxDocument::OnSaveModified

Bool OnSaveModified(void)

If the document has been modified, prompts the user to ask if the changes should be changed. If the user replies Yes, the Save function is called. If No, the document is marked as unmodified and the function succeeds. If Cancel, the function fails.


wxDocument::RemoveView

Bool RemoveView(wxView *view)

Removes the view from the document's list of views, and calls OnChangedViewList.


wxDocument::Save

Bool Save(void)

Saves the document by calling OnSaveDocument if there is an associated filename, or SaveAs if there is no filename.


wxDocument::SaveAs

Bool SaveAs(void)

Prompts the user for a file to save to, and then calls OnSaveDocument.


wxDocument::SaveObject

ostream& SaveObject(ostream& stream)

Override this function and call it from your own SaveObject before streaming your own data. SaveObject is called by the framework automatically when the document contents need to be saved.


wxDocument::SetCommandProcessor

void SetCommandProcessor(wxCommandProcessor *processor)

Sets the command processor to be used for this document. The document will then be responsible for its deletion. Normally you should not call this; override OnCreateCommandProcessor instead.

See wxCommandProcessor.


wxDocument::SetDocumentName

void SetDocumentName(char *name)

Sets the document type name for this document. See the comment for documentTypeName.


wxDocument::SetDocumentTemplate

void SetDocumentTemplate(wxDocTemplate *templ)

Sets the pointer to the template that created the document. Should only be called by the framework.


wxDocument::SetFilename

void SetFilename(char *filename)

Sets the filename for this document. Usually called by the framework.


wxDocument::SetTitle

void SetTitle(char *title)

Sets the title for this document. The document title is used for an associated frame (if any), and is usually constructed by the framework from the filename.
