Wxwidgets zip files

If you open document. All paragraphs, tables, images and other objects are described inside this file. We can split document. In this sample I replaced all textual values with macros and then used these macros inside my application for populating the report.

Now, after we packed all parts inside ZIP archive, we can load them when application starts…. Under Linux, our main frame should look like this: Now, if we open the file, generated by our application, in Microsoft Word, we will see something like this: The most important thing is that we can create Microsoft Word documents without Microsoft Office installed on local machine.

Certainly if we have no Microsoft Office installed then we have no way to see the result but in any case we have the portable way of generating nice reports. I can see that there is still a lot of topics at wxWidgets forums related to usage of shared libs or plugins with wxWidgets apps on different platform.

Microsoft released their Kinect SDK several days ago. So, for those wxWidgets developers who are interested in development of Kinect-powered applications, I created a small wxWidgets-based helper library and sample application which will allow to start using Kinect SDK.

For now only basic functionality is available: Retreiving the…. It is easy for humans to read and write. Improve this question. Not without extracting it in one way or another. You can store the extracted file on disk or in memory, but you need to extract it. According to The Manual it would appear you can obviously extraction is necessary. Is there any other way to read a necessary file without extracting from zip archive? Other than wxwidgets — sangz. How can you read something from an archive without extracting it?

This question completely defies logic. It's almost like the OP doesn't understand ZIP compression, but feels that they are the right developer to solve their issue. Anyway, this is an XY problem, asking for a solution to the wrong problem. Voting to close. Show 4 more comments. This is different from having no extension at all as the file name will have a trailing dot after a call to this method.

Setting an empty string as the extension will remove the extension resulting in a file name without a trailing dot, unlike a call to SetEmptyExt. The path argument includes both the path and the volume, if supported by format. Calling this function doesn't affect the name and extension components, to change them as well you can use Assign or just an assignment operator. Notice that the file creation time can't be changed under Unix, so dtCreate is ignored there but true is still returned.

Under Windows all three times can be set. By default, file operations "follow symlink", i. See DontFollowLink for more information. This function splits a full file name into components: the volume with the first version path including the volume in the second version , the base name and the extension.

Any of the output parameters volume , path , name or ext may be NULL if you are not interested in the value of a particular component. Also, fullpath may be empty on entry.

On return, path contains the file path without the trailing separator , name contains the file name and ext contains the file extension without leading dot. All three of them may be empty if the corresponding component is. The old contents of the strings pointed to by these parameters will be overwritten in any case if the pointers are not NULL. Note that for a filename "foo. If you need to cope with such cases, you should use hasExt instead of relying on testing whether ext is empty or not.

Splits the given fullpath into the volume part which may be empty and the pure path part, not containing any volume. This function does more than just removing everything after the last period from the string, for example it will return the string ". You can use wxString::BeforeLast to really get just the part before the last period but notice that that function returns empty string if period is not present at all unlike this function which returns the fullname unchanged in this case.

The URL must use the file protocol. Version: 3. MyMethod dirname. GetPath ;. Library: wxBase. Category: File Handling. Constructor taking a full filename. Constructor from a volume name, a directory name, base file name and extension. Appends a directory component to the path. Notice that the return value is only available in wxWidgets 2.

See also GetCwd. Sets this file name object to the given directory name. The name and extension will be empty. Removes the extension from the file name resulting in a file name with no trailing dot. Returns a temporary file name starting with the given prefix. Parameters prefix Location to use for the temporary file name construction.

If prefix is a directory it must have a terminal separator fileTemp The file to open, or NULL just to get the name Returns The full temporary filepath, or an empty string on error.

Returns true if the directory with this name exists. See also FileExists , Exists. Returns true if the directory with name dir exists. Returns the object corresponding to the directory with the given name. The dir parameter may have trailing path separator or not.

Turns off symlink dereferencing. The following methods are currently affected by this option: GetTimes but not SetTimes as there is no portable way to change the time of symlink itself.

Existence checks: FileExists , DirExists and Exists notice that static versions of these methods always follow symlinks. See also ShouldFollowLink Since 2. Calls the static overload of this function with the full path of this object. Since 2. This method is equivalent to FileExists DirExists. Returns true if the file with this name exists. See also DirExists , Exists. Returns true if the file with name file exists.

Returns the file name object corresponding to the given file. Returns full absolute path for this file. Since 3. Retrieves the value of the current working directory on the specified volume.

Returns The string containing the current working directory or an empty string on error. See also AssignCwd. Returns the full name including extension but excluding directories. Returns the representation of the file size in a human-readable form. Return the long form of the path returns identity on non-Windows platforms.

Returns the name part of the filename without extension. See also GetFullName. Returns the path part of the filename without the name or extension. Note If the path is a toplevel one e. Returns the usually used path separator for this format. See also GetPathSeparators. Returns the string containing all the path separators for this format. Closes the current entry if one is open, then reads the meta-data for the next entry and returns it in a wxArchiveEntry object, giving away ownership.

Closes the current entry if one is open, then opens the entry specified by the wxArchiveEntry object. Initializes a "filter" stream. Public Member Functions inherited from wxInputStream. Creates a dummy input stream. CanRead const. Returns true if some data is available in the stream right now, so that calling Read wouldn't block. Eof const.

Returns true after an attempt has been made to read past the end of the stream. Returns the first character in the input queue and removes it, blocking until it appears if necessary. LastRead const. Returns the last number of bytes read. Returns the first character in the input queue without removing it. Reads the specified amount of bytes and stores the data in buffer.

Reads data from the input queue and stores it in the specified output stream.
