whitespace or not, so seperating this from the other commits, so easy to

|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`wx.Command` is a base class for modelling an application
|
|
command, which is an action usually performed by selecting a menu
|
|
item, pressing a toolbar button or any other means provided by the
|
|
application to change the data or view.
|
|
|
|
Instead of the application functionality being scattered around if
|
|
statements and functions in a way that may be hard to read and
|
|
maintain, the functionality for a command is explicitly represented as
|
|
an object which can be manipulated by a framework or application.
|
|
|
|
When a user interface event occurs, the application submits a command
|
|
to a :class:`wx.CommandProcessor` object to execute and store.
|
|
|
|
The wxPython document/view framework handles Undo and Redo by use of
|
|
:class:`wx.Command` and :class:`wx.CommandProcessor` objects. You
|
|
might find further uses for :class:`Command`, such as implementing a
|
|
macro facility that stores, loads and replays commands.
|
|
|
|
An application can derive a new class for every command, or, more
|
|
likely, use one class parameterized with an integer or string command
|
|
identifier.

|
:class:`wx.CommandProcessor` is a class that maintains a history of
|
|
:class:`wx.Command` instances, with undo/redo functionality
|
|
built-in. Derive a new class from this if you want different
|
|
behaviour.

|
|
|phoenix_title| **FileHistory Overview**
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
:class:`wx.FileHistory` encapsulates functionality to record the last
|
|
few files visited, and to allow the user to quickly load these files
|
|
using the list appended to the File menu. Although
|
|
:class:`wx.FileHistory` is used by :class:`wx.DocManager`, it can be
|
|
used independently. You may wish to derive from it to allow different
|
|
behaviour, such as popping up a scrolling list of files.
|
|
|
|
By calling :meth:`wx.FileHistory.UseMenu` you can associate a file
|
|
menu with the file history. The menu will then be used for appending
|
|
filenames that are added to the history.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Please notice that currently if the history already contained
|
|
filenames when UseMenu() is called (e.g. when initializing a second
|
|
MDI child frame), the menu is not automatically initialized with
|
|
the existing filenames in the history and so you need to call
|
|
:meth:`wx.FileHistory.AddFilesToMenu` after UseMenu() explicitly in
|
|
order to initialize the menu with the existing list of MRU files
|
|
(otherwise an assertion failure is raised in debug builds).
|
|
|
|
The filenames are appended using menu identifiers in the range
|
|
``wx.ID_FILE1`` to ``wx.ID_FILE9``.
