# wxFileTypeInfo Class Reference

`#include <wx/mimetype.h>`

## Detailed Description

Container of information about wxFileType.

This class simply stores information associated with the file type. It doesn't do anything on its own and is used only to allow constructing wxFileType from it (instead of specifying all the constituent pieces separately) and also with wxMimeTypesManager::AddFallbacks().

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxFileTypeInfo::wxFileTypeInfo | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor creates an invalid file type info object.

Such invalid/empty object should be used to terminate the list of file types passed to wxMimeTypesManager::AddFallbacks().

wxFileTypeInfo::wxFileTypeInfo | ( | const wxString & | mimeType | ) |

Constructor specifying just the MIME type name.

Use the various setter methods below to fully initialize the object.

Since:
  2.9.2

wxFileTypeInfo::wxFileTypeInfo | ( | const wxString & | mimeType,
|  | const wxString & | openCmd,
|  | const wxString & | printCmd,
|  | const wxString & | description,
|  | const wxString & | extension,
|  |  | ... |
| ) |  |  |

Constructor allowing to specify all the fields at once.

This is a vararg constructor taking an arbitrary number of extensions after the first four required parameters. The list must be terminated by `wxNullPtr`, notice that `NULL` can't be used here in portable code (C++0x `nullptr` can be used as well if your compiler supports it).
