Wildcard Class Reference

#include <wildcard.h>

Detailed Description

Manages a list of file wildcard entries for use in wxWidgets file dialogs.

The Wildcard class provides a convenient way to build and format wildcard filter strings compatible with wxWidgets file dialogs (e.g., wxFileDialog).

Each entry consists of a human-readable description and a file pattern (e.g., *.txt). The formatted string follows the wxWidgets wildcard format:

"Description (*.ext)|*.ext|Other (*.other)|*.other"

Example

sdi_toolBox::desktop::wxWidgets::Wildcard wc;
wc.addEntry("Text files", "*.txt");
wc.addEntry("CSV files", "*.csv");
wxString filter = wc.getWildcards(true);    // includes "All files (*.*)|*.*"
wxFileDialog dlg(this, "Open file", "", "", filter, wxFD_OPEN);
