859 @section textctrl_text_format wxTextCtrl Text Format
860
861 The multiline text controls always store the text as a sequence of lines
862 separated by @c '\\n' characters, i.e. in the Unix text format even on
863 non-Unix platforms. This allows the user code to ignore the differences
864 between the platforms but at a price: the indices in the control such as
865 those returned by GetInsertionPoint() or GetSelection() can @b not be used
866 as indices into the string returned by GetValue() as they're going to be
867 slightly off for platforms using @c "\\r\\n" as separator (as Windows
868 does).
869
870 Instead, if you need to obtain a substring between the 2 indices obtained
871 from the control with the help of the functions mentioned above, you should
872 use GetRange(). And the indices themselves can only be passed to other
873 methods, for example SetInsertionPoint() or SetSelection().
874
875 To summarize: never use the indices returned by (multiline) wxTextCtrl as
876 indices into the string it contains, but only as arguments to be passed
877 back to the other wxTextCtrl methods. This problem doesn't arise for
878 single-line platforms however where the indices in the control do
879 correspond to the positions in the value string.
880
881
882 @section textctrl_styles wxTextCtrl Styles.
883
884 Multi-line text controls support styling, i.e. provide a possibility to set
885 colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
886 @c wxTE_RICH style is required for style support). To use the styles you
887 can either call SetDefaultStyle() before inserting the text or call
888 SetStyle() later to change the style of the text already in the control
889 (the first solution is much more efficient).
890
891 In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
892 example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font
893 nor the text background), the values of the default style will be used for
894 them. If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control
895 itself are used.
896
897 So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call to
898 SetDefaultStyle() doesn't change the text foreground colour (which stays
899 red) while the last one doesn't change the background colour (which stays
900 grey):
901
902 @code
903 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxRED));
904 text->AppendText("Red text\n");
905 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(wxNullColour, *wxLIGHT_GREY));
906 text->AppendText("Red on grey text\n");
907 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxBLUE);
908 text->AppendText("Blue on grey text\n");
909 @endcode
910
911
912 @section textctrl_cpp_streams wxTextCtrl and C++ Streams
913
914 This class multiply-inherits from @c std::streambuf (except for some really
915 old compilers using non-standard iostream library), allowing code such as
916 the following:
917
918 @code
919 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
920
921 ostream stream(control)
922
923 stream << 123.456 << " some text\n";
924 stream.flush();
925 @endcode
926
927 Note that even if your compiler doesn't support this (the symbol
928 @c wxHAS_TEXT_WINDOW_STREAM has value of 0 then) you can still use
929 wxTextCtrl itself in a stream-like manner:
930
931 @code
932 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
933
934 *control << 123.456 << " some text\n";
935 @endcode
936
937 However the possibility to create an ostream associated with wxTextCtrl may
938 be useful if you need to redirect the output of a function taking an
939 ostream as parameter to a text control.
940
941 Another commonly requested need is to redirect @c std::cout to the text
942 control. This may be done in the following way:
943
944 @code
945 #include <iostream>
946
947 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
948
949 std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf();
950 std::cout.rdbuf(control);
951
952 // use cout as usual, the output appears in the text control
953 ...
954
955 std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld);
956 @endcode
957
958 But wxWidgets provides a convenient class to make it even simpler so
959 instead you may just do
960
961 @code
962 #include <iostream>
963
964 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
965
966 wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(control);
967
968 // all output to cout goes into the text control until the exit from
969 // current scope
970 @endcode
971
972 See wxStreamToTextRedirector for more details.
973
974
975 @section textctrl_event_handling Event Handling.
976
977 The following commands are processed by default event handlers in
978 wxTextCtrl: @c wxID_CUT, @c wxID_COPY, @c wxID_PASTE, @c wxID_UNDO, @c
979 wxID_REDO. The associated UI update events are also processed
980 automatically, when the control has the focus.
