+ Inheritance diagram for wxFileHistory:

Detailed Description

The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).

wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxFileHistory()

wxFileHistory::wxFileHistory ( size_t  maxFiles = 9,
wxWindowID  idBase = wxID_FILE1 
)

Constructor.

Pass the maximum number of files that should be stored and displayed.

idBase defaults to wxID_FILE1 and represents the id given to the first history menu item. Since menu items can't share the same ID you should change idBase (to one of your own defined IDs) when using more than one wxFileHistory in your application.

◆ ~wxFileHistory()

virtual wxFileHistory::~wxFileHistory ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddFilesToMenu() [1/2]

virtual void wxFileHistory::AddFilesToMenu ( )
virtual

Appends the files in the history list, to all menus managed by the file history object.

◆ AddFilesToMenu() [2/2]

virtual void wxFileHistory::AddFilesToMenu ( wxMenu menu)
virtual

Appends the files in the history list, to the given menu only.

◆ AddFileToHistory()

virtual void wxFileHistory::AddFileToHistory ( const wxString filename)
virtual

Adds a file to the file history list, if the object has a pointer to an appropriate file menu.

◆ GetBaseId()

wxWindowID wxFileHistory::GetBaseId ( ) const

Returns the base identifier for the range used for appending items.

◆ GetCount()

virtual size_t wxFileHistory::GetCount ( ) const
virtual

Returns the number of files currently stored in the file history.

◆ GetHistoryFile()

virtual wxString wxFileHistory::GetHistoryFile ( size_t  index) const
virtual

Returns the file at this index (zero-based).

◆ GetMaxFiles()

virtual int wxFileHistory::GetMaxFiles ( ) const
virtual

Returns the maximum number of files that can be stored.

◆ GetMenuPathStyle()

wxFileHistoryMenuPathStyle wxFileHistory::GetMenuPathStyle ( ) const

Get the current style of the menu item labels.

Initially returns wxFH_PATH_SHOW_IF_DIFFERENT.

SetMenuPathStyle()
Since
3.1.5

◆ GetMenus()

const wxList& wxFileHistory::GetMenus ( ) const

Returns the list of menus that are managed by this file history object.

See also
UseMenu()

◆ Load()

virtual void wxFileHistory::Load ( const wxConfigBase config)
virtual

Loads the file history from the given config object.

This function should be called explicitly by the application.

See also
wxConfigBase

◆ RemoveFileFromHistory()

virtual void wxFileHistory::RemoveFileFromHistory ( size_t  i)
virtual

Removes the specified file from the history.

◆ RemoveMenu()

virtual void wxFileHistory::RemoveMenu ( wxMenu menu)
virtual

Removes this menu from the list of those managed by this object.

◆ Save()

virtual void wxFileHistory::Save ( wxConfigBase config)
virtual

Saves the file history into the given config object.

This must be called explicitly by the application.

See also
wxConfigBase

◆ SetBaseId()

void wxFileHistory::SetBaseId ( wxWindowID  baseId)

Sets the base identifier for the range used for appending items.

◆ SetMenuPathStyle()

void wxFileHistory::SetMenuPathStyle ( wxFileHistoryMenuPathStyle  style)

Set the style of the menu item labels.

By default, the menu item label style is wxFH_PATH_SHOW_IF_DIFFERENT.

◆ UseMenu()

virtual void wxFileHistory::UseMenu ( wxMenu menu)
virtual

Adds this menu to the list of those menus that are managed by this file history object.

Also see AddFilesToMenu() for initializing the menu with filenames that are already in the history when this function is called, as this is not done automatically.
