wxPlatformInfo

wxWidgets Documentation for wxPlatformInfo

This class holds informations about the operating system and the toolkit that the application is running under and some basic architecture info of the machine where it's running.

The following are the operating systems which are recognized by wxWidgets and whose version can be detected at run-time. The values of the constants are chosen so that they can be combined as flags; this allows to check for operating system families like e.g. wxOS_MAC and wxOS_UNIX.

wxOS_UNKNOWN	returned on error
wxOS_MAC_OS	Apple Mac OS 8/9/X with Mac paths
wxOS_MAC_OSX_DARWIN	Apple Mac OS X with Unix paths
wxOS_MAC	wxOS_MAC_OS \| wxOS_MAC_OSX_DARWIN,
wxOS_WINDOWS_9X	Windows 9x family (95/98/ME)
wxOS_WINDOWS_NT	Windows NT family (NT/2000/XP)
wxOS_WINDOWS_MICRO	MicroWindows
wxOS_WINDOWS_CE	Windows CE (Window Mobile)
wxOS_WINDOWS	wxOS_WINDOWS_9X \| wxOS_WINDOWS_NT \| wxOS_WINDOWS_MICRO \| wxOS_WINDOWS_CE

wxOS_DOS	Microsoft DOS
wxOS_OS2	OS/2

The list of wxWidgets ports. Some of them can be used with more than a single (native) toolkit; e.g. wxWinCE port sources can be used with smartphones, pocket PCs and handheld devices SDKs.

wxPORT_UNKNOWN	returned on error
wxPORT_BASE	wxBase, no native toolkit used
wxPORT_MSW	wxMSW, native toolkit is Windows API
wxPORT_MOTIF	wxMotif, using [Open]Motif or Lesstif
wxPORT_GTK	wxGTK, using GTK+ 1.x, 2.x, GPE or Maemo
wxPORT_MGL	wxMGL, using wxUniversal
wxPORT_X11	wxX11, using wxUniversal
wxPORT_OS2	wxOS2, using OS/2 Presentation Manager
wxPORT_MAC	wxMac, using Carbon or Classic Mac API
wxPORT_COCOA	wxCocoa, using Cocoa NextStep/Mac API
wxPORT_WINCE	wxWinCE, toolkit is WinCE SDK API
wxPORT_PALMOS	wxPalmOS, toolkit is PalmOS API
wxPORT_DFB	wxDFB, using wxUniversal

The architecture of the operating system (regardless of the build environment of wxWidgets library - see is_platform_64bit documentation for more info).

wxARCH_INVALID	returned on error
wxARCH_32	32 bit
wxARCH_64	64 bit
wxARCH_MAX

The endian-ness of the machine.

wxENDIAN_INVALID	returned on error
wxENDIAN_BIG	4321
wxENDIAN_LITTLE	1234
wxENDIAN_PDP	3412
wxENDIAN_MAX
