@class wxArtProvider
wxArtProvider class is used to customize the look of wxWidgets application.
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.
@todo IS THIS NB TRUE?
(@note this is not yet really possible as of wxWidgets 2.3.3, the set of wxArtProvider
bitmaps is too small).
@section wxartprovider_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 wxArtID type
and can have one of these predefined values (you can see bitmaps represented by these
constants in the @ref page_samples_artprov):
<table>
<tr><td>
@li wxART_ERROR
@li wxART_QUESTION
@li wxART_WARNING
@li wxART_INFORMATION
@li wxART_ADD_BOOKMARK
@li wxART_DEL_BOOKMARK
@li wxART_HELP_SIDE_PANEL
@li wxART_HELP_SETTINGS
@li wxART_HELP_BOOK
@li wxART_HELP_FOLDER
@li wxART_HELP_PAGE
@li wxART_GO_BACK
@li wxART_GO_FORWARD
@li wxART_GO_UP
</td><td>
@li wxART_GO_DOWN
@li wxART_GO_TO_PARENT
@li wxART_GO_HOME
@li wxART_PRINT
@li wxART_HELP
@li wxART_TIP
@li wxART_REPORT_VIEW
@li wxART_LIST_VIEW
@li wxART_NEW_DIR
@li wxART_FOLDER
@li wxART_FOLDER_OPEN
@li wxART_GO_DIR_UP
@li wxART_EXECUTABLE_FILE
@li wxART_NORMAL_FILE
@li wxART_TICK_MARK
@li wxART_CROSS_MARK
</td><td>
@li wxART_MISSING_IMAGE
@li wxART_NEW
@li wxART_FILE_OPEN
@li wxART_FILE_SAVE
@li wxART_FILE_SAVE_AS
@li wxART_DELETE
@li wxART_COPY
@li wxART_CUT
@li wxART_PASTE
@li wxART_UNDO
@li wxART_REDO
@li wxART_QUIT
@li wxART_FIND
@li wxART_FIND_AND_REPLACE
@li wxART_HARDDISK
@li wxART_FLOPPY
@li wxART_CDROM
@li wxART_REMOVABLE
</td></tr>
</table>
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. Additionally, if wxGTK was compiled against GTK+ >= 2.4, then it is also
possible to load icons from current icon theme by specifying their name (without
extension and directory components).
Icon themes recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org Icon Themes specification
(see http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec).
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 wxartprovider_clients Clients
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 wxART_TOOLBAR
@li wxART_MENU
@li wxART_BUTTON
@li wxART_FRAME_ICON
@li wxART_CMN_DIALOG
@li wxART_HELP_BROWSER
@li wxART_MESSAGE_BOX
@li wxART_OTHER (used for all requests that don't fit into any of the
categories above)
Client ID servers 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!
