Detailed Description

Note

Please do not changes these. If a different file extension is needed, create a new definition in here. If you create a extension definition in another file, make sure to add it to the Doxygen group "file_extensions" using the "addtogroup" tag. Also note, just because they are defined as const doesn't guarantee that they cannot be changed.

Function Documentation

AddFileExtListToFilter()

wxString AddFileExtListToFilter

(

const std::vector< std::string > &

aExts

)

Build the wildcard extension file dialog wildcard filter to add to the base message dialog.

For instance, to open .txt files in a file dialog: the base message is for instance "Text files" the ext list is " (*.txt)|*.txt" and the returned string to add to the base message is " (*.txt)|*.txt" the message to display in the dialog is "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt"

This function produces a case-insensitive filter (so .txt, .TXT and .tXT are all match if you pass "txt" into the function).

Parameters

aExts

is the list of exts to add to the filter. Do not include the leading dot. Empty means "allow all files".

Returns

the appropriate file dialog wildcard filter list.

Definition at line 82 of file wildcards_and_files_ext.cpp.

{
    if( aExts.size() == 0 )
    {
        // The "all files" wildcard is different on different systems
        wxString filter;
        filter << " (" << wxFileSelectorDefaultWildcardStr << ")|"
               << wxFileSelectorDefaultWildcardStr;
        return filter;
    }

    wxString files_filter = " (";

    // Add extensions to the info message:
    for( const std::string& ext : aExts )
    {
        if( files_filter.length() > 2 )
            files_filter << "; ";

        files_filter << "*." << ext;
    }

    files_filter << ")|*.";

    // Add extensions to the filter list, using a formated string (GTK specific):
    bool first = true;
    for( const auto& ext : aExts )
    {
        if( !first )
            files_filter << ";*.";

        first = false;

        files_filter << formatWildcardExt( ext );
    }

    return files_filter;
}

compareFileExtensions()

bool compareFileExtensions	(	const std::string &	aExtension,
		const std::vector< std::string > &	aReference,
		bool	aCaseSensitive = false
	)

Compare the given extension against the reference extensions to see if it matches any of the reference extensions.

This function uses the C++ regular expression functionality to perform the comparison, so the reference extensions can be regular expressions of their own right. This means that partial searches can be made, for example ^g.* can be used to see if the first character of the extension is g. The reference extensions are concatenated together as alternatives when doing the evaluation (e.g. (dxf|svg|^g.*) ).

Parameters

aExtension	is the extension to test
aReference	is a vector containing the extensions to test against
aCaseSensitive	says if the comparison should be case sensitive or not

Returns

if the extension matches any reference extensions

Definition at line 36 of file wildcards_and_files_ext.cpp.

    // Form the regular expression string by placing all possible extensions into it as alternatives

    {
        // The | separate goes between the extensions
        if( !first )
            regexString += "|";
        else
            first = false;

        regexString += ext;
    }
    regexString += ")";

    // Create the regex and see if it matches
    std::regex extRegex( regexString, aCaseSensitive ? std::regex::ECMAScript : std::regex::icase );
    return std::regex_match( aExtension, extRegex );

formatWildcardExt()

wxString formatWildcardExt

(

const wxString &

aWildcard

)

Format wildcard extension to support case sensitive file dialogs.

The file extension wildcards of the GTK+ file dialog are case sensitive so using all lower case characters means that only file extensions that are all lower case will show up in the file dialog. The GTK+ file dialog does support regular expressions so the file extension is converted to a regular expression ( sch -> [sS][cC][hH] ) when wxWidgets is built against GTK+. Please make sure you call this function when adding new file wildcards.

Note

When calling wxFileDialog with a default file defined, make sure you include the file extension along with the file name. Otherwise, on GTK+ builds, the file dialog will append the wildcard regular expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.

Parameters

aWildcard

is the extension part of the wild card.

Returns

the build appropriate file dialog wildcard filter.
