|phoenix_title|  **wx.FileTypeInfo**
==========================================================================================================================================

Container of information about :ref:`wx.FileType`.          

This class simply stores information associated with the file type. It doesn't do anything on its own and is used only to allow constructing :ref:`wx.FileType`  from it (instead of specifying all the constituent pieces separately) and also with :meth:`wx.MimeTypesManager.AddFallbacks` .

      :html:`<hr class="overloadsep" /><br />`

      
      **__init__** `(self)`
      
      Default constructor creates an invalid file type info object.                  
      
      Such invalid/empty object should be used to terminate the list of file types passed to :meth:`wx.MimeTypesManager.AddFallbacks` .

      **__init__** `(self, mimeType)`
      
      Constructor specifying just the MIME type name.                  
      
      Use the various setter methods below to fully initialize the object.

      This is a vararg constructor taking an arbitrary number of extensions after the first four required parameters. The list must be terminated by  ``NullPtr`` , notice that   ``NULL``   can't be used here in portable code (C++0x   ``nullptr``   can be used as well if your compiler supports it).
