virtual void Discard ()
 Discard changes: the old file contents are not changed, the temporary file is deleted.

virtual wxFileOffset GetLength () const
 Returns the length of the stream in bytes.
 
virtual size_t GetSize () const
 This function returns the size of the stream.
 
virtual bool IsOk () const
 Returns true if no error occurred on the stream.
 
virtual bool IsSeekable () const
 Returns true if the stream supports seeking to arbitrary offsets.
 
void Reset (wxStreamError error=wxSTREAM_NO_ERROR)
 Resets the stream state.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxTempFileOutputStream::wxTempFileOutputStream ( const wxString fileName)

Associates wxTempFileOutputStream with the file to be replaced and opens it.

Warning
You should use wxStreamBase::IsOk() to verify if the constructor succeeded.

Call Commit() or wxOutputStream::Close() to replace the old file and close this one. Calling Discard() (or allowing the destructor to do it) will discard the changes.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool wxTempFileOutputStream::Commit ( )
virtual

Validate changes: deletes the old file of the given name and renames the new file to the old name.

Returns true if both actions succeeded.

If false is returned it may unfortunately mean two quite different things: either that either the old file couldn't be deleted or that the new file couldn't be renamed to the old name.

virtual void wxTempFileOutputStream::Discard ( )
virtual

Discard changes: the old file contents are not changed, the temporary file is deleted.
