wxFileConfig implements wxConfigBase interface for storing and retrieving configuration information using plain text files.
The files have a simple format reminiscent of Windows INI files with lines of the form "key = value"
defining the keys and lines of special form "[group]"
indicating the start of each group.
This class is used by default for wxConfig on Unix platforms but may also be used explicitly if you want to use files and not the registry even under Windows.

Return the full path to the file which would be used by wxFileConfig as global, system-wide, file if it were constructed with basename as "global filename" parameter in the constructor. | |

wxFileConfig::wxFileConfig | ( | const wxString & | appName = wxEmptyString , |
const wxString & | vendorName = wxEmptyString , |

const wxString & | localFilename = wxEmptyString , |

long | style = wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE|wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE , |

const wxMBConv & | conv = wxConvAuto() |

) |
Constructor allowing to choose the file names to use.
If localFilename and/or globalFilename are explicitly specified, they are used as the names of the user and system-wide configuration files (the latter is only read by the program while the former is read from and written to). Otherwise the behaviour depends on style parameter. If it includes ::wxCONFIG_USE_LOCAL_FILE, then the local file name is constructed from the information in appName and vendorName arguments in a system-dependent way. If ::wxCONFIG_USE_GLOBAL_FILE is not specified at all (and globalFilename is empty) then the system-wide file is not used at all. Otherwise its name and path are also constructed in the way appropriate for the current platform from the application and vendor names.
wxFileConfig::wxFileConfig | ( | wxInputStream & | is, |
const wxMBConv & | conv = wxConvAuto() |
||
) |
Read the config data from the specified stream instead of the associated file, as usual.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::DeleteAll | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Delete the whole underlying object (disk file, registry key, ...).
Primarily for use by uninstallation routine.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::DeleteEntry | ( | const wxString & | key, |
bool | bDeleteGroupIfEmpty = true |
||
) | [virtual] |
Deletes the specified entry and the group it belongs to if it was the last key in it and the second parameter is true.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::DeleteGroup | ( | const wxString & | key | ) | [virtual] |
Delete the group (with all subgroups).
If the current path is under the group being deleted it is changed to its deepest still existing component. E.g. if the current path is "/A/B/C/D"
and the group C
is deleted, the path becomes "/A/B"
.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::Flush | ( | bool | bCurrentOnly = false | ) | [virtual] |
Permanently writes all changes (otherwise, they're only written from object's destructor).
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::GetFirstEntry | ( | wxString & | str, |
long & | index | ||
) | const [virtual] |
Gets the first entry.
wxPerl Note: In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and returns a 3-element list (continue_flag, string, index_for_getnextentry).
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::GetFirstGroup | ( | wxString & | str, |
long & | index | ||
) | const [virtual] |
Gets the first group.
wxPerl Note: In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and returns a 3-element list (continue_flag, string, index_for_getnextentry).
Implements wxConfigBase.
static wxFileName wxFileConfig::GetGlobalFile | ( | const wxString & | basename | ) | [static] |
Return the full path to the file which would be used by wxFileConfig as global, system-wide, file if it were constructed with basename as "global filename" parameter in the constructor.
Notice that this function cannot be used if basename is already a full path name.
static wxFileName wxFileConfig::GetLocalFile | ( | const wxString & | basename, |
int | style = 0 |
||
) | [static] |
Return the full path to the file which would be used by wxFileConfig as local, user-specific, file if it were constructed with basename as "local filename" parameter in the constructor.
style has the same meaning as in wxConfig constructor and can contain any combination of styles but only wxCONFIG_USE_SUBDIR bit is examined by this function.
Notice that this function cannot be used if basename is already a full path name.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::GetNextEntry | ( | wxString & | str, |
long & | index | ||
) | const [virtual] |
Gets the next entry.
wxPerl Note: In wxPerl this method only takes the index parameter and returns a 3-element list (continue_flag, string, index_for_getnextentry).
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::GetNextGroup | ( | wxString & | str, |
long & | index | ||
) | const [virtual] |
Gets the next group.
wxPerl Note: In wxPerl this method only takes the index parameter and returns a 3-element list (continue_flag, string, index_for_getnextentry).
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual size_t wxFileConfig::GetNumberOfEntries | ( | bool | bRecursive = false | ) | const [virtual] |
Get number of entries in the current group.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual size_t wxFileConfig::GetNumberOfGroups | ( | bool | bRecursive = false | ) | const [virtual] |
Get number of entries/subgroups in the current group, with or without its subgroups.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual const wxString& wxFileConfig::GetPath | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
Retrieve the current path (always as absolute path).
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::HasEntry | ( | const wxString & | strName | ) | const [virtual] |
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::HasGroup | ( | const wxString & | strName | ) | const [virtual] |
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::RenameEntry | ( | const wxString & | oldName, |
const wxString & | newName | ||
) | [virtual] |
Renames an entry in the current group.
The entries names (both the old and the new one) shouldn't contain backslashes, i.e. only simple names and not arbitrary paths are accepted by this function.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::RenameGroup | ( | const wxString & | oldName, |
const wxString & | newName | ||
) | [virtual] |
Renames a subgroup of the current group.
The subgroup names (both the old and the new one) shouldn't contain backslashes, i.e. only simple names and not arbitrary paths are accepted by this function.
Implements wxConfigBase.
virtual bool wxFileConfig::Save | ( | wxOutputStream & | os, |
const wxMBConv & | conv = wxConvAuto() |
||
) | [virtual] |
Saves all config data to the given stream, returns true if data was saved successfully or false on error.
Note the interaction of this function with the internal "dirty flag": the data is saved unconditionally, i.e. even if the object is not dirty. However after saving it successfully, the dirty flag is reset so no changes will be written back to the file this object is associated with until you change its contents again.
virtual void wxFileConfig::SetPath | ( | const wxString & | strPath | ) | [virtual] |
Set current path: if the first character is '/', it is the absolute path, otherwise it is a relative path.
'..' is supported. If strPath doesn't exist, it is created.
Implements wxConfigBase.
void wxFileConfig::SetUmask | ( | int | mode | ) |
Allows to set the mode to be used for the config file creation.
For example, to create a config file which is not readable by other users (useful if it stores some sensitive information, such as passwords), you could use SetUmask(0077)
.
This function doesn't do anything on non-Unix platforms.
