wxWidgets/interface/wx/dataobj.h
pavelxdd 504c22a512 Fix wxURLDataObject comment and documentation for wxGTK 
Fix a copy-and-pasto in the header and also mention that wxURLDataObject
derives from wxDataObjectComposite, and not wxTextDataObject, in wxGTK
too.

Also add a note about the exact base class being an implementation
detail.

@class wxDataFormat
A wxDataFormat is an encapsulation of a platform-specific format handle
which is used by the system for the clipboard and drag and drop operations.
The applications are usually only interested in, for example, pasting data
from the clipboard only if the data is in a format the program understands
and a data format is something which uniquely identifies this format.
On the system level, a data format is usually just a number (@c CLIPFORMAT
under Windows or @c Atom under X11, for example) and the standard formats
are, indeed, just numbers which can be implicitly converted to wxDataFormat.
The standard formats are:
@beginDefList
@itemdef{wxDF_INVALID,
An invalid format - used as default argument for functions taking
a wxDataFormat argument sometimes.}
@itemdef{wxDF_TEXT,
Text format (wxString).}
@itemdef{wxDF_BITMAP,
A bitmap (wxBitmap).}
@itemdef{wxDF_METAFILE,
A metafile (wxMetafile, Windows only).}
@itemdef{wxDF_FILENAME,
A list of filenames.}
@itemdef{wxDF_HTML,
An HTML string. This is currently only valid on Mac and MSW.}
@endDefList
As mentioned above, these standard formats may be passed to any function
taking wxDataFormat argument because wxDataFormat has an implicit
conversion from them (or, to be precise from the type
@c wxDataFormat::NativeFormat which is the type used by the underlying
platform for data formats).
Aside the standard formats, the application may also use custom formats
which are identified by their names (strings) and not numeric identifiers.
Although internally custom format must be created (or @e registered) first,
you shouldn't care about it because it is done automatically the first time
the wxDataFormat object corresponding to a given format name is created.
The only implication of this is that you should avoid having global
wxDataFormat objects with non-default constructor because their
constructors are executed before the program has time to perform all
necessary initialisations and so an attempt to do clipboard format
registration at this time will usually lead to a crash!

@class wxDataObject
A wxDataObject represents data that can be copied to or from the clipboard,
or dragged and dropped. The important thing about wxDataObject is that this
is a 'smart' piece of data unlike 'dumb' data containers such as memory
buffers or files. Being 'smart' here means that the data object itself
should know what data formats it supports and how to render itself in each
of its supported formats.
A supported format, incidentally, is exactly the format in which the data
can be requested from a data object or from which the data object may be
set. In the general case, an object may support different formats on
'input' and 'output', i.e. it may be able to render itself in a given
format but not be created from data on this format or vice versa.
wxDataObject defines the wxDataObject::Direction enumeration type which
distinguishes between them.
See wxDataFormat documentation for more about formats.
Not surprisingly, being 'smart' comes at a price of added complexity. This
is reasonable for the situations when you really need to support multiple
formats, but may be annoying if you only want to do something simple like
cut and paste text.
To provide a solution for both cases, wxWidgets has two predefined classes
which derive from wxDataObject: wxDataObjectSimple and
wxDataObjectComposite. wxDataObjectSimple is the simplest wxDataObject
possible and only holds data in a single format (such as HTML or text) and
wxDataObjectComposite is the simplest way to implement a wxDataObject that
does support multiple formats because it achieves this by simply holding
several wxDataObjectSimple objects.
So, you have several solutions when you need a wxDataObject class (and you
need one as soon as you want to transfer data via the clipboard or drag and
drop):
-# Use one of the built-in classes.
- You may use wxTextDataObject, wxBitmapDataObject wxFileDataObject,
wxURLDataObject in the simplest cases when you only need to support
one format and your data is either text, bitmap or list of files.
-# Use wxDataObjectSimple
- Deriving from wxDataObjectSimple is the simplest solution for custom
data - you will only support one format and so probably won't be able
to communicate with other programs, but data transfer will work in
your program (or between different instances of it).
-# Use wxDataObjectComposite
- This is a simple but powerful solution which allows you to support
any number of formats (either standard or custom if you combine it
with the previous solution).
-# Use wxDataObject directly
- This is the solution for maximum flexibility and efficiency, but it
is also the most difficult to implement.
Please note that the easiest way to use drag and drop and the clipboard
with multiple formats is by using wxDataObjectComposite, but it is not the
most efficient one as each wxDataObjectSimple would contain the whole data
in its respective formats. Now imagine that you want to paste 200 pages of
text in your proprietary format, as well as Word, RTF, HTML, Unicode and
plain text to the clipboard and even today's computers are in trouble. For
this case, you will have to derive from wxDataObject directly and make it
enumerate its formats and provide the data in the requested format on
demand.
Note that neither the GTK+ data transfer mechanisms for clipboard and drag
and drop, nor OLE data transfer, @e copies any data until another application
actually requests the data. This is in contrast to the 'feel' offered to
the user of a program who would normally think that the data resides in the
clipboard after having pressed 'Copy' - in reality it is only declared to
be @e available.
You may also derive your own data object classes from wxCustomDataObject
for user-defined types. The format of user-defined data is given as a
mime-type string literal, such as "application/word" or "image/png". These
strings are used as they are under Unix (so far only GTK+) to identify a
format and are translated into their Windows equivalent under Win32 (using
the OLE IDataObject for data exchange to and from the clipboard and for
drag and drop). Note that the format string translation under Windows is
not yet finished.
Each class derived directly from wxDataObject must override and implement
all of its functions which are pure virtual in the base class. The data
objects which only render their data or only set it (i.e. work in only one
direction), should return 0 from GetFormatCount().

changed by using the second parameter of Add()) and its format determines

reasons.
