@class wxStandardPaths
|
|
|
|
wxStandardPaths returns the standard locations in the file system and should be
|
|
used by applications to find their data files in a portable way.
|
|
|
|
Note that you must not create objects of class wxStandardPaths directly,
|
|
but use the global standard paths object returned by wxStandardPaths::Get()
|
|
(which can be of a type derived from wxStandardPaths and not of exactly
|
|
this type) and call the methods you need on it. The object returned by
|
|
Get() may be customized by overriding wxAppTraits::GetStandardPaths()
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
In the description of the methods below, the example return values are given
|
|
for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note that these are
|
|
just the examples and the actual values may differ. For example, under Windows:
|
|
the system administrator may change the standard directories locations, e.g.
|
|
the Windows directory may be named @c "W:\Win2003" instead of
|
|
the default @c "C:\Windows".
|
|
|
|
Notice that in the examples below the string @c appinfo may be either just
|
|
the application name (as returned by wxApp::GetAppName()) or a combination
|
|
of the vendor name (wxApp::GetVendorName()) and the application name, with
|
|
a path separator between them. By default, only the application name is
|
|
used, use UseAppInfo() to change this.
|
|
|
|
The other placeholders should be self-explanatory: the string @c username
|
|
should be replaced with the value the name of the currently logged in user.
|
|
and @c prefix is only used under Unix and is @c /usr/local by default but
|
|
may be changed using wxStandardPaths::SetInstallPrefix().
|
|
|
|
The directories returned by the methods of this class may or may not exist.
|
|
If they don't exist, it's up to the caller to create them, wxStandardPaths doesn't
|
|
do it.
|
|
|
|
Finally note that these functions only work with standardly packaged
|
|
applications. I.e. under Unix you should follow the standard installation
|
|
conventions and under Mac you should create your application bundle according
|
|
to the Apple guidelines. Again, this class doesn't help you to do it.
|
|
|
|
This class is MT-safe: its methods may be called concurrently from different
|
|
threads without additional locking.

the main program directory, e.g. this happens in at least the following

common cases:

- The program is in "bin" subdirectory of the installation directory.

component of the path if it matches its argument. Notice that it may be

called more than once, e.g. you can call both IgnoreAppSubDir("bin") and

IgnoreAppSubDir("debug") to take care of both production and development
|
|
cases above but that each call will only remove the last path component.

when using wxWidgets-inspired output directories names.
