Inheritance diagram for wxFileSystemHandler:

Detailed Description

Classes derived from wxFileSystemHandler are used to access virtual file systems.

Its public interface consists of two methods: wxFileSystemHandler::CanOpen and wxFileSystemHandler::OpenFile.

It provides additional protected methods to simplify the process of opening the file: GetProtocol(), GetLeftLocation(), GetRightLocation(), GetAnchor(), GetMimeTypeFromExt().

Please have a look at overview (see wxFileSystem) if you don't know how locations are constructed.

Also consult the list of available handlers.

Note that the handlers are shared by all instances of wxFileSystem.

Remarks: wxHTML library provides handlers for local files and HTTP or FTP protocol.

Note: The location parameter passed to OpenFile() or CanOpen() methods is always an absolute path. You don't need to check the FS's current path.

wxPerl Note: In wxPerl, you need to derive your file system handler class from Wx::PlFileSystemHandler.

Library: wxBase

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxFileSystemHandler::wxFileSystemHandler ( )

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool wxFileSystemHandler::CanOpen ( const wxString & location )

pure virtual

Returns true if the handler is able to open this file.

This function doesn't check whether the file exists or not, it only checks if it knows the protocol. Example:

bool MyHand::CanOpen(const wxString& location)
{
    return (GetProtocol(location) == "http");
}

Must be overridden in derived handlers.

virtual wxString wxFileSystemHandler::FindFirst	(	const wxString &	wildcard,
		int	flags = `0`
	)

virtual

Works like wxFindFirstFile().

Returns the name of the first filename (within filesystem's current path) that matches wildcard. flags may be one of wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).

This method is only called if CanOpen() returns true.

virtual wxString wxFileSystemHandler::FindNext ( )

virtual

Returns next filename that matches parameters passed to wxFileSystem::FindFirst.

This method is only called if CanOpen() returns true and FindFirst() returned a non-empty string.

static wxString wxFileSystemHandler::GetAnchor ( const wxString & location )

staticprotected

Returns the anchor if present in the location.

See wxFSFile::GetAnchor for details.

Example:

GetAnchor("index.htm#chapter2") == "chapter2"

Note: the anchor is NOT part of the left location.

static wxString wxFileSystemHandler::GetLeftLocation ( const wxString & location )

staticprotected

Returns the left location string extracted from location.

Example:

GetLeftLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "file:myzipfile.zip"

static wxString wxFileSystemHandler::GetMimeTypeFromExt ( const wxString & location )

static

Returns the MIME type based on extension of location.

(While wxFSFile::GetMimeType() returns real MIME type - either extension-based or queried from HTTP.)

Example:

GetMimeTypeFromExt("index.htm") == "text/html"

static wxString wxFileSystemHandler::GetProtocol ( const wxString & location )

staticprotected

Returns the protocol string extracted from location.

Example:

GetProtocol("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "zip"

static wxString wxFileSystemHandler::GetRightLocation ( const wxString & location )

staticprotected

Returns the right location string extracted from location.

Example:

GetRightLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "index.htm"

virtual wxFSFile* wxFileSystemHandler::OpenFile	(	wxFileSystem &	fs,
		const wxString &	location
	)

pure virtual

Opens the file and returns wxFSFile pointer or NULL if failed.

Must be overridden in derived handlers.

Parameters

fs	Parent FS (the FS from that OpenFile was called). See the ZIP handler for details of how to use it.
location	The absolute location of file.
