813 Sets the left indent and left subindent in tenths of a millimetre.
814 The sub-indent is an offset from the left of the paragraph, and is used for all
815 but the first line in a paragraph.
817 A positive value will cause the first line to appear to the left
818 of the subsequent lines, and a negative value will cause the first line to be
819 indented relative to the subsequent lines.
821 wxRichTextBuffer uses indentation to render a bulleted item.
822 The left indent is the distance between the margin and the bullet.
823 The content of the paragraph, including the first line, starts
824 at leftMargin + leftSubIndent.
825 So the distance between the left edge of the bullet and the
826 left of the actual paragraph is leftSubIndent.

831 Sets the line spacing. @a spacing is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing,
832 15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means double spacing.
833 The ::wxTextAttrLineSpacing values are defined for convenience.
835 void SetLineSpacing(int spacing

897 The ::wxTextAttrEffects enumeration values can be used.
899 Of these, only wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_CAPITALS, wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_STRIKETHROUGH,
900 wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUPERSCRIPT and wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUBSCRIPT are implemented.

923 Assignment from a wxTextAttr object.
925 void operator=(const wxTextAttr

932 A text control allows text to be displayed and edited.
934 It may be single line or multi-line. Notice that a lot of methods of the
935 text controls are found in the base wxTextEntry class which is a common
936 base class for wxTextCtrl and other controls using a single line text entry
937 field (e.g. wxComboBox).
940 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
941 The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
942 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
943 control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
944 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}
945 The control will receive @c wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
946 normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
947 instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
948 Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
949 @style{wxTE_MULTILINE}
950 The text control allows multiple lines. If this style is not
951 specified, line break characters should not be used in the controls
953 @style{wxTE_PASSWORD}
954 The text will be echoed as asterisks.
955 @style{wxTE_READONLY}
956 The text will not be user-editable.
958 Use rich text control under Win32, this allows to have more than
959 64KB of text in the control even under Win9x. This style is ignored
960 under other platforms.
962 Use rich text control version 2.0 or 3.0 under Win32, this style is
963 ignored under other platforms
964 @style{wxTE_AUTO_URL}
965 Highlight the URLs and generate the wxTextUrlEvents when mouse
966 events occur over them. This style is only supported for wxTE_RICH
967 Win32 and multi-line wxGTK2 text controls.
968 @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL}
969 By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection
970 when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always
971 show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
973 A horizontal scrollbar will be created and used, so that text won't
974 be wrapped. No effect under wxGTK1.
975 @style{wxTE_NO_VSCROLL}
976 For multiline controls only: vertical scrollbar will never be
977 created. This limits the amount of text which can be entered into
978 the control to what can be displayed in it under MSW but not under
979 GTK2. Currently not implemented for the other platforms.
981 The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
983 The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and
986 The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW
988 @style{wxTE_DONTWRAP}
989 Same as wxHSCROLL style: don't wrap at all, show horizontal
991 @style{wxTE_CHARWRAP}
992 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at any position
993 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
994 @style{wxTE_WORDWRAP}
995 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at word boundaries
996 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
997 @style{wxTE_BESTWRAP}
998 Wrap the lines at word boundaries or at any other character if
999 there are words longer than the window width (this is the default).
1000 @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE}
1001 On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be
1005 Note that alignment styles (wxTE_LEFT, wxTE_CENTRE and wxTE_RIGHT) can be
1006 changed dynamically after control creation on wxMSW and wxGTK. wxTE_READONLY,
1007 wxTE_PASSWORD and wrapping styles can be dynamically changed under wxGTK but
1008 not wxMSW. The other styles can be only set during control creation.
1011 @section textctrl_text_format wxTextCtrl Text Format
1013 The multiline text controls always store the text as a sequence of lines
1014 separated by @c '\\n' characters, i.e. in the Unix text format even on
1015 non-Unix platforms. This allows the user code to ignore the differences
1016 between the platforms but at a price: the indices in the control such as
1017 those returned by GetInsertionPoint() or GetSelection() can @b not be used
1018 as indices into the string returned by GetValue() as they're going to be
1019 slightly off for platforms using @c "\\r\\n" as separator (as Windows
1022 Instead, if you need to obtain a substring between the 2 indices obtained
1023 from the control with the help of the functions mentioned above, you should
1024 use GetRange(). And the indices themselves can only be passed to other
1025 methods, for example SetInsertionPoint() or SetSelection().
1027 To summarize: never use the indices returned by (multiline) wxTextCtrl as
1028 indices into the string it contains, but only as arguments to be passed
1029 back to the other wxTextCtrl methods. This problem doesn't arise for
1030 single-line platforms however where the indices in the control do
1031 correspond to the positions in the value string.
1034 @section textctrl_styles wxTextCtrl Styles.
1036 Multi-line text controls support styling, i.e. provide a possibility to set
1037 colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
1038 @c wxTE_RICH style is required for style support). To use the styles you
1039 can either call SetDefaultStyle() before inserting the text or call
1040 SetStyle() later to change the style of the text already in the control
1041 (the first solution is much more efficient).
1043 In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
1044 example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font
1045 nor the text background), the values of the default style will be used for
1046 them. If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control
1049 So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call to
1050 SetDefaultStyle() doesn't change the text foreground colour (which stays
1051 red) while the last one doesn't change the background colour (which stays
1055 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxRED));
1056 text->AppendText("Red text\n");
1057 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(wxNullColour, *wxLIGHT_GREY));
1058 text->AppendText("Red on grey text\n");
1059 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxBLUE);
1060 text->AppendText("Blue on grey text\n");
1064 @section textctrl_cpp_streams wxTextCtrl and C++ Streams
1066 This class multiply-inherits from @c std::streambuf (except for some really
1067 old compilers using non-standard iostream library), allowing code such as
1071 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1073 ostream stream(control)
1075 stream << 123.456 << " some text\n";
1079 Note that even if your compiler doesn't support this (the symbol
1080 @c wxHAS_TEXT_WINDOW_STREAM has value of 0 then) you can still use
1081 wxTextCtrl itself in a stream-like manner:
1084 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1086 *control << 123.456 << " some text\n";
1089 However the possibility to create an ostream associated with wxTextCtrl may
1090 be useful if you need to redirect the output of a function taking an
1091 ostream as parameter to a text control.
1093 Another commonly requested need is to redirect @c std::cout to the text
1094 control. This may be done in the following way:
1099 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1101 std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf();
1102 std::cout.rdbuf(control);
1104 // use cout as usual, the output appears in the text control
1107 std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld);
1110 But wxWidgets provides a convenient class to make it even simpler so
1111 instead you may just do
1116 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1118 wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(control);
1120 // all output to cout goes into the text control until the exit from
1124 See wxStreamToTextRedirector for more details.
1127 @section textctrl_event_handling Event Handling.
1129 The following commands are processed by default event handlers in
1130 wxTextCtrl: @c wxID_CUT, @c wxID_COPY, @c wxID_PASTE, @c wxID_UNDO, @c
1131 wxID_REDO. The associated UI update events are also processed
1132 automatically, when the control has the focus.
1134 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
1135 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
1136 Respond to a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, generated when the text
1137 changes. Notice that this event will be sent when the text controls
1138 contents changes -- whether this is due to user input or comes from the
1139 program itself (for example, if wxTextCtrl::SetValue() is called); see
1140 wxTextCtrl::ChangeValue() for a function which does not send this event.
1141 This event is however not sent during the control creation.
1142 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
1143 Respond to a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, generated when enter is
1144 pressed in a text control which must have wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style for
1145 this event to be generated.
1146 @event{EVT_TEXT_URL(id, func)}
1147 A mouse event occurred over an URL in the text control (wxMSW and
1148 wxGTK2 only currently).
1149 @event{EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN(id, func)}
1150 This event is generated when the user tries to enter more text into the
1151 control than the limit set by wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength(), see its description.
