class DocTemplate(wx.Object)

The DocTemplate class is used to model the relationship between a document class and a view class.


Methods



__init__(self, manager, description, filter, dir, ext, docTypeName, viewTypeName, docType, viewType, flags=DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS, icon=None)

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

manager is the document manager object which manages this template.

description is a short description of what the template is for. This string will be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.

filter is an appropriate file filter such as *.txt.

dir is the default directory to use for file selectors.

ext is the default file extension (such as txt).

docTypeName is a name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.

viewTypeName is a name that should be unique for a given view.

docClass is a Python class. 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.

viewClass is a Python class. 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.

flags is a bit list of the following: TEMPLATE_VISIBLE: The template may be displayed to the user in dialogs.

TEMPLATE_INVISIBLE: The template may not be displayed to the user in dialogs.

DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS: Defined as TEMPLATE_VISIBLE.



CreateDocument(self, path, flags)

Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have not supplied a class to the template constructor, you will need to override this function to return an appropriate document instance.



CreateView(self, doc, flags)

Creates a new instance of the associated document view. If you have not supplied a class to the template constructor, you will need to override this function to return an appropriate view instance.



FileMatchesTemplate(self, path)

GetDefaultExtension(self)

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



GetDescription(self)

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



GetDirectory(self)

GetDocumentType(self)

Returns the Python document class, as passed to the document template constructor.



GetFileFilter(self)
