Detailed Description

wxDataObjectComposite is the simplest wxDataObject derivation which may be used to support multiple formats.

It contains several wxDataObjectSimple objects and supports any format supported by at least one of them. Only one of these data objects is preferred (the first one if not explicitly changed by using the second parameter of Add()) and its format determines the preferred format of the composite data object as well.

See wxDataObject documentation for the reasons why you might prefer to use wxDataObject directly instead of wxDataObjectComposite for efficiency reasons.

This example shows how a composite data object capable of storing either bitmaps or file names (presumably of bitmap files) can be initialized and used:

MyDropTarget::MyDropTarget()
{
dataobj->Add(new wxBitmapDataObject(), true);
dataobj->Add(new wxFileDataObject());
SetDataObject(dataobj);
}
wxDragResult MyDropTarget::OnData(wxCoord x, wxCoord y,
wxDragResult defaultDragResult)
{
wxDragResult dragResult = wxDropTarget::OnData(x, y, defaultDragResult);
if ( dragResult == defaultDragResult )
{
dataobjComp = static_cast<wxDataObjectComposite *>(GetDataObject());
wxDataFormat format = dataObjects->GetReceivedFormat();
wxDataObject *dataobj = dataobjComp->GetObject(format);
switch ( format.GetType() )
{
{
dataobjBitmap = static_cast<wxBitmapDataObject *>(dataobj);
... use dataobj->GetBitmap() ...
}
break;
{
dataobjFile = static_cast<wxFileDataObject *>(dataobj);
... use dataobj->GetFilenames() ...
}
break;
default:
wxFAIL_MSG( "unexpected data object format" );
}
}
return dragResult;
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxDataObjectComposite()

wxDataObjectComposite::wxDataObjectComposite ( )

The default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Add()

void wxDataObjectComposite::Add ( wxDataObjectSimple dataObject,
bool  preferred = false 
)

Adds the dataObject to the list of supported objects and it becomes the preferred object if preferred is true.

◆ GetObject()

wxDataObjectSimple * wxDataObjectComposite::GetObject ( const wxDataFormat format,
wxDataObject::Direction  dir = wxDataObject::Get 
) const

Returns the pointer to the object which supports the passed format for the specified direction.

NULL is returned if the specified format is not supported for this direction dir. The returned pointer is owned by wxDataObjectComposite itself and shouldn't be deleted by caller.

Since
2.9.1

◆ GetReceivedFormat()

wxDataFormat wxDataObjectComposite::GetReceivedFormat ( ) const

Report the format passed to the SetData() method.

This should be the format of the data object within the composite that received data from the clipboard or the DnD operation. You can use this method to find out what kind of data object was received.
