## Detailed Description

This wxFileSystem handler can store arbitrary data in memory stream and make them accessible via an URL.

It is particularly suitable for storing bitmaps from resources or included XPM files so that they can be used with wxHTML.

Filenames are prefixed with `"memory:"`, e.g. `"memory:myfile.html"`.

Example:

        #ifndef __WXMSW__
        #include "logo.xpm"
        #endif

        void MyFrame::OnAbout(wxCommandEvent&)
        {
            wxBusyCursor bcur;
            wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new wxMemoryFSHandler);
            wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile("logo.pcx", wxBITMAP(logo), wxBITMAP_TYPE_PCX);
            wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile("about.htm",
                                    "<html><body>About: "
                                    "<img src=\"memory:logo.pcx\"></body></html>");

            wxDialog dlg(this, -1, wxString(_("About")));
            wxBoxSizer *topsizer;
            wxHtmlWindow *html;
            topsizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
            html = new wxHtmlWindow(&dlg, -1, wxDefaultPosition,
                                    wxSize(380, 160), wxHW_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
            html->SetBorders(0);
            html->LoadPage("memory:about.htm");
            html->SetSize(html->GetInternalRepresentation()->GetWidth(),
                        html->GetInternalRepresentation()->GetHeight());
            topsizer->Add(html, 1, wxALL, 10);
            topsizer->Add(new wxStaticLine(&dlg, -1), 0, wxEXPAND | wxLEFT | wxRIGHT, 10);
            topsizer->Add(new wxButton(&dlg, wxID_OK, "Ok"),
                        0, wxALL | wxALIGN_RIGHT, 15);
            dlg.SetAutoLayout(true);
            dlg.SetSizer(topsizer);
            topsizer->Fit(&dlg);
            dlg.Centre();
            dlg.ShowModal();

            wxMemoryFSHandler::RemoveFile("logo.pcx");
            wxMemoryFSHandler::RemoveFile("about.htm");
        }

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxMemoryFSHandler::wxMemoryFSHandler | ( |  | ) |

Constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

static void wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile | ( | const wxString & | filename,
|  | wxImage & | image,
|  | wxBitmapType | type |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

Adds a file to the list of the files stored in memory.

Stored data (bitmap, text or raw data) will be copied into private memory stream and available under name `"memory:"` + filename.

Note:
  you must use a type value (aka image format) that wxWidgets can save (e.g. JPG, PNG, see wxImage documentation)!

  AddFileWithMimeType()

static void wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFile | ( | const wxString & | filename,
|  | const wxBitmap & | bitmap,
|  | wxBitmapType | type |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

Adds a file to the list of the files stored in memory.

Stored data (bitmap, text or raw data) will be copied into private memory stream and available under name `"memory:"` + filename.

Note:
  you must use a type value (aka image format) that wxWidgets can save (e.g. JPG, PNG, see wxImage documentation)!

static void wxMemoryFSHandler::AddFileWithMimeType | ( | const wxString & | filename,
|  | const void * | binarydata,
|  | size_t | size,
|  | const wxString & | mimetype |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

Like AddFile(), but lets you explicitly specify added file's MIME type.

This version should be used whenever you know the MIME type, because it makes accessing the files faster.

Since:
  2.8.5
