Overview

Note:

This class is untracked and should not be derived from nor instances extended!

This class holds information about the operating system, the toolkit and the basic architecture bitness of the machine where the application is currently running.

This class does not only have getters for the information above, it also has setters. This allows you to e.g. save the current platform information in a data file (maybe in string form) so that when you later load it, you can easily retrieve (see the static getters for string->enum conversion functions) and store inside a PlatformInfo instance (using its setters) the signature of the system which generated it. In general however you only need to use the static PlatformInfo.instance method and then access the various information for the current platform:

Wx.log_message("This application is running under %s.", 
                 Wx::PlatformInfo.instance.get_operating_system_id_name)
