wx.lib.docview.View¶The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
an application’s file-based data. It is part of the document/view
framework supported by wxWindows, and cooperates with the Document,
DocTemplate and DocManager classes.

Class API¶
Inheritance diagram for class View:
View(wx.EvtHandler)¶The view class can be used to model the viewing and editing component of
an application’s file-based data. It is part of the document/view
framework supported by wxWindows, and cooperates with the Document,
DocTemplate and DocManager classes.
__init__(self)¶Constructor. Define your own default constructor to initialize application-specific data.
Activate(self, activate=True)¶Call this from your view frame’s OnActivate member to tell the
framework which view is currently active. If your windowing system
doesn’t call OnActivate, you may need to call this function from
OnMenuCommand or any place where you know the view must be active, and
the framework will need to get the current view.
The prepackaged view frame DocChildFrame calls View.Activate` from
its ``OnActivate member and from its OnMenuCommand member.
Close(self, deleteWindow=True)¶Closes the view by calling OnClose. If deleteWindow is true, this
function should delete the window associated with the view.
Destroy(self)¶Destructor. Removes itself from the document’s list of views.
GetDocument(self)¶Returns the document associated with the view.
GetDocumentManager(self)¶Returns the document manager instance associated with this view.
GetFrame(self)¶Gets the frame associated with the view (if any). Note that this
“frame” is not a wx.Frame at all in the generic MDI implementation
which uses the notebook pages instead of the frames and this is why
this method returns a wx.Window and not a wx.Frame.
GetViewName(self)¶Gets the name associated with the view (passed to the DocTemplate
constructor). Not currently used by the framework.
OnActivateView(self, activate, activeView, deactiveView)¶Called when a view is activated by means of View.Activate. The
default implementation does nothing.
OnChangeFilename(self)¶Called when the filename has changed. The default implementation constructs a suitable title and sets the title of the view frame (if any).
OnClose(self, deleteWindow=True)¶Implements closing behaviour. The default implementation calls
Document.Close to close the associated document. Does not delete the
view. The application may wish to do some cleaning up operations in
this function, if a call to Document::Close succeeded. For example,
if your application’s all share the same window, you need to
disassociate the window from the view and perhaps clear the window. If
deleteWindow is true, delete the frame associated with the view.
OnClosingDocument(self)¶Override this to clean up the view when the document is being closed. The default implementation does nothing.
OnCreate(self, doc, flags)¶DocManager or Document creates a View via
a DocTemplate. Just after the DocTemplate creates
the View, it calls xView.OnCreate. In its OnCreate
member function, the View can create a DocChildFrame or
a derived class. This DocChildFrame provides user
interface elements to view and/or edit the contents of the wxDocument.
By default, simply returns true. If the function returns false, the view will be deleted.
OnCreatePrintout(self)¶Returns a wx.Printout object for the purposes of printing. It
should create a new object every time it is called; the framework will delete
objects it creates.
By default, this function returns an instance of DocPrintout, which
prints and previews one page by calling View.OnDraw.
Override to return an instance of a class other than DocPrintout.
OnDraw(self, dc)¶Override this to draw the view for the printing framework. The default implementation does nothing.
OnPrint(self, dc, info)¶Override this to print the view for the printing framework. The
default implementation calls View.OnDraw.
OnUpdate(self, sender, hint)¶Called when the view should be updated. sender is a pointer to the view that sent the update request, or None if no single view requested the update (for instance, when the document is opened). hint is as yet unused but may in future contain application-specific information for making updating more efficient.
ProcessEvent(self, event)¶Processes an event, searching event tables and calling zero or more suitable event handler function(s).
ProcessUpdateUIEvent(self, event)¶Processes a UI event, searching event tables and calling zero or more suitable event handler function(s).
SetDocument(self, doc)¶Associates the given document with the view. Normally called by the framework.
SetFrame(self, frame)¶Sets the frame associated with this view. The application should call
this if possible, to tell the view about the frame. See GetFrame
for the explanation about the mismatch between the “Frame” in the method
name and the type of its parameter.
SetViewName(self, name)¶Sets the view type name. Should only be called by the framework.
