Enumeration Type Documentation

enum wxFSWFlags

These are the possible types of file system change events.

Not all of these events are reported on all platforms currently.

Since

2.9.1

Enumerator:

wxFSW_EVENT_CREATE	File or directory was created.
wxFSW_EVENT_DELETE	File or directory was deleted.
wxFSW_EVENT_RENAME	File or directory was renamed. Notice that under MSW this event is sometimes – although not always – followed by a wxFSW_EVENT_MODIFY for the new file. Under OS X this event is currently not detected and instead separate wxFSW_EVENT_CREATE and wxFSW_EVENT_DELETE events are.
wxFSW_EVENT_MODIFY	File or directory was modified. Depending on the program doing the file modification, multiple such events can be reported for a single logical file update. Under OS X this event is currently not detected.
wxFSW_EVENT_ACCESS	File or directory was accessed. This event is currently only detected under Linux.
wxFSW_EVENT_ATTRIB	The item's metadata was changed, e.g. its permissions or timestamps. This event is currently only detected under Linux. Since 2.9.5
wxFSW_EVENT_UNMOUNT	The file system containing a watched item was unmounted. wxFSW_EVENT_UNMOUNT cannot be set; unmount events are produced automatically. This flag is therefore not included in wxFSW_EVENT_ALL. This event is currently only detected under Linux. Since 2.9.5
wxFSW_EVENT_WARNING	A warning condition arose. This is something that probably needs to be shown to the user in an interactive program as it can indicate a relatively serious problem, e.g. some events could have been missed because of an overflow. But more events will still be coming in the future, unlike for the error condition below.
wxFSW_EVENT_ERROR	An error condition arose. Errors are fatal, i.e. no more events will be reported after an error and the program can stop watching the directories currently being monitored.
wxFSW_EVENT_ALL

enum wxFSWWarningType

Possible warning types for the warning events generated by wxFileSystemWatcher.

Since

3.0

Enumerator:

wxFSW_WARNING_NONE	This is not a warning at all.
wxFSW_WARNING_GENERAL	A generic warning. Further information may be provided in the user-readable message available from wxFileSystemWatcherEvent::GetErrorDescription()
wxFSW_WARNING_OVERFLOW	An overflow event. This warning indicates that some file system changes were not signaled by any events, usually because there were too many of them and the internally used queue has overflown. If such event is received it is recommended to completely rescan the files or directories being monitored.
