When wxWidgets needs to display an icon or a bitmap (e.g. in the standard file dialog), it does not use a hard-coded resource but asks wxArtProvider for it instead. This way users can plug in their own wxArtProvider class and easily replace standard art with their own version. All that is needed is to derive a class from wxArtProvider, override either its wxArtProvider::CreateBitmap() and/or its wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle() methods and register the provider with wxArtProvider::Push(): @code class MyProvider : public wxArtProvider { protected: wxBitmap CreateBitmap(const wxArtID& id, const wxArtClient& client, const wxSize size) // optionally override this one as well wxIconBundle CreateIconBundle(const wxArtID& id, const wxArtClient& client) { ... } }; ... wxArtProvider::Push(new MyProvider); @endcode If you need bitmap images (of the same artwork) that should be displayed at different sizes you should probably consider overriding wxArtProvider::CreateIconBundle and supplying icon bundles that contain different bitmap sizes. There's another way of taking advantage of this class: you can use it in your code and use platform native icons as provided by wxArtProvider::GetBitmap or wxArtProvider::GetIcon. @section artprovider_identify Identifying art resources Every bitmap and icon bundle are known to wxArtProvider under an unique ID that is used when requesting a resource from it. The ID is represented by the ::wxArtID type and can have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these constants in the @ref page_samples_artprov):
@li @c wxART_ERROR @li @c wxART_QUESTION @li @c wxART_WARNING @li @c wxART_INFORMATION @li @c wxART_ADD_BOOKMARK @li @c wxART_DEL_BOOKMARK @li @c wxART_HELP_SIDE_PANEL @li @c wxART_HELP_SETTINGS @li @c wxART_HELP_BOOK @li @c wxART_HELP_FOLDER @li @c wxART_HELP_PAGE @li @c wxART_GO_BACK @li @c wxART_GO_FORWARD @li @c wxART_GO_UP @li @c wxART_GO_DOWN @li @c wxART_GO_TO_PARENT @li @c wxART_GO_HOME @li @c wxART_GOTO_FIRST (since 2.9.2) @li @c wxART_GOTO_LAST (since 2.9.2) @li @c wxART_PRINT @li @c wxART_HELP @li @c wxART_TIP @li @c wxART_REPORT_VIEW @li @c wxART_LIST_VIEW @li @c wxART_NEW_DIR @li @c wxART_FOLDER @li @c wxART_FOLDER_OPEN @li @c wxART_GO_DIR_UP @li @c wxART_EXECUTABLE_FILE @li @c wxART_NORMAL_FILE @li @c wxART_TICK_MARK @li @c wxART_CROSS_MARK @li @c wxART_MISSING_IMAGE @li @c wxART_NEW @li @c wxART_FILE_OPEN @li @c wxART_FILE_SAVE @li @c wxART_FILE_SAVE_AS @li @c wxART_DELETE @li @c wxART_COPY @li @c wxART_CUT @li @c wxART_PASTE @li @c wxART_UNDO @li @c wxART_REDO @li @c wxART_PLUS (since 2.9.2) @li @c wxART_MINUS (since 2.9.2) @li @c wxART_CLOSE @li @c wxART_QUIT @li @c wxART_FIND @li @c wxART_FIND_AND_REPLACE @li @c wxART_FULL_SCREEN (since 3.1.0) @li @c wxART_EDIT (since 3.1.0) @li @c wxART_HARDDISK @li @c wxART_FLOPPY @li @c wxART_CDROM @li @c wxART_REMOVABLE
Additionally, any string recognized by custom art providers registered using wxArtProvider::Push may be used. @note When running under GTK+ 2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. @c "gtk-cdrom") may be used as well: @code #ifdef __WXGTK__ wxBitmap bmp = wxArtProvider::GetBitmap("gtk-cdrom", wxART_MENU); #endif @endcode For a list of the GTK+ stock items please refer to the GTK+ documentation page. It is also possible to load icons from the current icon theme by specifying their name (without extension and directory components). Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification. Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all icons, so wxArtProvider may return ::wxNullBitmap or ::wxNullIcon. The default theme is typically installed in @c /usr/share/icons/hicolor. @section artprovider_clients Clients The @e client is the entity that calls wxArtProvider's GetBitmap() or GetIcon() function. It is represented by wxClientID type and can have one of these values: @li @c wxART_TOOLBAR @li @c wxART_MENU @li @c wxART_BUTTON @li @c wxART_FRAME_ICON @li @c wxART_CMN_DIALOG @li @c wxART_HELP_BROWSER @li @c wxART_MESSAGE_BOX @li @c wxART_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the categories above) Client ID serve as a hint to wxArtProvider that is supposed to help it to choose the best looking bitmap. For example it is often desirable to use slightly different icons in menus and toolbars even though they represent the same action (e.g. wxART_FILE_OPEN). Remember that this is really only a hint for wxArtProvider -- it is common that wxArtProvider::GetBitmap returns identical bitmap for different client values! @library{wxcore} @category{misc} @see @ref page_samples_artprov for an example of wxArtProvider usage; @ref page_stockitems "stock ID list" */ class wxArtProvider : public wxObject { public: /** The destructor automatically removes the provider from the provider stack used by GetBitmap(). */ virtual ~wxArtProvider(); /** Delete the given @a provider. */ static bool Delete(wxArtProvider* provider); /** Query registered providers for bitmap with given ID. @param id wxArtID unique identifier of the bitmap. @param client wxArtClient identifier of the client (i.e. who is asking for the bitmap). @param size Size of the returned bitmap or wxDefaultSize if size doesn't matter. @return The bitmap if one of registered providers recognizes the ID or wxNullBitmap otherwise. */ static wxBitmap GetBitmap(const wxArtID& id, const wxArtClient& client = wxART_OTHER, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize); /** Same as wxArtProvider::GetBitmap, but return a wxIcon object (or ::wxNullIcon on failure). */ static wxIcon GetIcon(const wxArtID& id, const wxArtClient& client = wxART_OTHER, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize); /** Returns native icon size for use specified by @a client hint.
