Inheritance diagram for wxFileProperty:
[legend]

## Detailed Description

Like wxLongStringProperty, but the button triggers file selector instead.

Supported special attributes:

- "Wildcard": Sets wildcard (see wxFileDialog for format details), "All files..." is default.
- "ShowFullPath": Default 1. When 0, only the file name is shown (i.e. drive and directory are hidden).
- "ShowRelativePath": If set, then the filename is shown relative to the given path string.
- "InitialPath": Sets the initial path of where to look for files.
- "DialogTitle": Sets a specific title for the dir dialog.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual wxValidator* wxFileProperty::DoGetValidator | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns pointer to the wxValidator that should be used with the editor of this property (NULL for no validator).

Setting validator explicitly via SetPropertyValidator will override this.

In most situations, code like this should work well (macros are used to maintain one actual validator instance, so on the second call the function exits within the first macro):

wxValidator* wxMyPropertyClass::DoGetValidator () const
{
WX_PG_DOGETVALIDATOR_ENTRY()
wxMyValidator* validator = new wxMyValidator(...);
... prepare validator...
WX_PG_DOGETVALIDATOR_EXIT(validator)
}

Remarks
  You can get common filename validator by returning wxFileProperty::GetClassValidator(). wxDirProperty, for example, uses it.

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.

virtual bool wxFileProperty::DoSetAttribute | ( | const wxString & | name,
|  | wxVariant & | value
| ) |  |

virtual

Reimplement this member function to add special handling for attributes of this property.

Returns
  Return false to have the attribute automatically stored in m_attributes. Default implementation simply does that and nothing else.

Remarks
  To actually set property attribute values from the application, use wxPGProperty::SetAttribute() instead.

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.

static wxValidator* wxFileProperty::GetClassValidator | ( |  | ) |

static

virtual wxPGEditorDialogAdapter* wxFileProperty::GetEditorDialog | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns instance of a new wxPGEditorDialogAdapter instance, which is used when user presses the (optional) button next to the editor control;.

Default implementation returns NULL (ie. no action is generated when button is pressed).

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.

wxFileName wxFileProperty::GetFileName | ( |  | ) | const

Returns filename to file represented by current value.

virtual void wxFileProperty::OnSetValue | ( |  | ) |

virtual

This virtual function is called after m_value has been set.

Remarks
  - If m_value was set to Null variant (ie. unspecified value), OnSetValue() will not be called.
  - m_value may be of any variant type. Typically properties internally support only one variant type, and as such OnSetValue() provides a good opportunity to convert supported values into internal type.
  - Default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.

Reimplemented in wxImageFileProperty.

virtual bool wxFileProperty::StringToValue | ( | wxVariant & | variant,
|  | const wxString & | text,
|  | int | argFlags = `0`
| ) |  | const

virtual

Converts text into wxVariant value appropriate for this property.

Parameters

  variant | On function entry this is the old value (should not be wxNullVariant in normal cases). Translated value must be assigned back to it.
  text | Text to be translated into variant.
  argFlags | If wxPG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable value instead of displayable one (they may be different). If wxPG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, text is interpreted as a part of composite property string value (as generated by ValueToString() called with this same flag).

Returns
  Returns true if resulting wxVariant value was different.

Remarks
  Default implementation converts semicolon delimited tokens into child values. Only works for properties with children.

You might want to take into account that m_value is Null variant if property value is unspecified (which is usually only case if you explicitly enabled that sort behaviour).

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.

virtual wxString wxFileProperty::ValueToString | ( | wxVariant & | value,
|  | int | argFlags = `0`
| ) |  | const

virtual

Converts property value into a text representation.

Parameters

  value | Value to be converted.
  argFlags | If 0 (default value), then displayed string is returned. If wxPG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable string value instead of displayable. If wxPG_EDITABLE_VALUE is set, returns string value that must be editable in textctrl. If wxPG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, returns text that is appropriate to display as a part of string property's composite text representation.

Remarks
  Default implementation calls GenerateComposedValue().

Reimplemented from wxPGProperty.
