Possible constructors:

CommandProcessor(maxCommands=-1)

CommandProcessor is a class that maintains a history of Commands, with undo/redo functionality built-in.


Methods



__init__(self, maxCommands=-1)

Constructor.

Parameters:maxCommands (int) – May be set to a positive integer to limit the number of commands stored to it, otherwise (and by default) the list of commands can grow arbitrarily.


CanRedo(self)

Returns True if the currently-active command can be redone, False otherwise.

Return type:bool


CanUndo(self)

Returns True if the currently-active command can be undone, False otherwise.

Return type:bool


ClearCommands(self)

Deletes all commands in the list and sets the current command pointer to None.



GetCommands(self)

Returns the list of commands.

Return type:CommandList


GetCurrentCommand(self)

Returns the current command.

Return type: wx.Command


GetEditMenu(self)

Returns the edit menu associated with the command processor.

Return type: wx.Menu


GetMaxCommands(self)

Returns the maximum number of commands that the command processor stores.

Return type:int


GetRedoAccelerator(self)

Returns the string that will be appended to the Redo menu item.

Return type:string


GetRedoMenuLabel(self)

Returns the string that will be shown for the redo menu item.

Return type:string


GetUndoAccelerator(self)

Returns the string that will be appended to the Undo menu item.

Return type:string


GetUndoMenuLabel(self)

Returns the string that will be shown for the undo menu item.

Return type:string


Initialize(self)

Initializes the command processor, setting the current command to the last in the list (if any), and updating the edit menu (if one has been specified).



IsDirty(self)

Returns a boolean value that indicates if changes have been made since the last save operation.

This only works if MarkAsSaved is called whenever the project is saved.

Return type:bool


MarkAsSaved(self)

You must call this method whenever the project is saved if you plan to use IsDirty .



Redo(self)

Executes (redoes) the current command (the command that has just been undone if any).

Return type:bool


SetEditMenu(self, menu)

Tells the command processor to update the Undo and Redo items on this menu as appropriate.

Set this to None if the menu is about to be destroyed and command operations may still be performed, or the command processor may try to access an invalid pointer.

Parameters:menu (wx.Menu) –


SetMenuStrings(self)

Sets the menu labels according to the currently set menu and the current command state.



SetRedoAccelerator(self, accel)

Sets the string that will be appended to the Redo menu item.

Parameters:accel (string) –


SetUndoAccelerator(self, accel)

Sets the string that will be appended to the Undo menu item.

Parameters:accel (string) –


Store(self, command)

Just store the command without executing it.

The command is stored in the history list, and the associated edit menu (if any) updated appropriately.

Parameters:command (wx.Command) –


Submit(self, command, storeIt=True)

Submits a new command to the command processor.

The command processor calls wx.Command.Do to execute the command; if it succeeds, the command is stored in the history list, and the associated edit menu (if any) updated appropriately. If it fails, the command is deleted immediately. Once Submit has been called, the passed command should not be deleted directly by the application.

Parameters:
  • command (wx.Command) – The command to submit
  • storeIt (bool) – Indicates whether the successful command should be stored in the history list.
Return type:

bool



Undo(self)

Undoes the last command executed.

Return type:bool
