💖 wxFileDataObject(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Erlang module definition for wxFileDataObject, and trust me, this one is lowkey iconic once you get it. it's a whole module page, manual name and everything, so grab your strawberry drink 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

wxFileDataObject — no cap, it's a specialization of wxDataObject for file names. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: your program gets to work with this thing just as if it were a list of absolute file names. literally just a cute lil list of paths, as far as you're concerned. 🙈

But bestie, the internal glow-up is the real moment. Internally it uses the same format as Explorer and other compatible programs under Windows or GNOME/KDE file manager under Unix, which makes it possible to receive files from them using this class. it's giving unbothered interoperability. ✨

See also these icons, go check them out:

  • wxDataObject
  • wxTextDataObject
  • wxBitmapDataObject
  • wxDataObject

(yes, wxDataObject is in there twice. no, we don't question the list. we simply respect it. 🙏)

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

  • wxDataObject

wxWidgets docs: wxFileDataObject

🎀 DATA TYPES 🎀

  • wxFileDataObject() :: wx:wx_object().

that's it. that's the type. wx:wx_object() and vibes. 🫶

🌸 FUNCTIONS 🌸

  • addFile(This, File) -> ok

when:

  • This :: wxFileDataObject(),
  • File :: unicode:chardata().

Adds a file to the file list represented by this data object. psa though bestie: (Windows only) — so don't come for it on other platforms, it said what it said. 💀

  • destroy(This :: wxFileDataObject()) -> ok.

Destroys the object. rip to it, but respectfully. 🪦💜

  • getFilenames(This) -> [unicode:charlist()]

when This :: wxFileDataObject().

Returns the array of file names. all of them. every single one. slay. 🔥

  • new() -> wxFileDataObject().

Constructor. it makes a new one. that's the whole function, and honestly? main character energy. 👑

reminder bestie: everything literal — the flags, the types, the paths — stays exactly as written. we keep the receipts around here. 🧾✨

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this lil manual dropped as part of wx 2.6 from Ericsson AB, and yes the page itself is styled wxFileDataObject(3) — love that for us. see you in the next one, bestie, stay slaying your Unix 💅🌈💖
