2
3 wxTextAttrEx is an extended version of wxTextAttr with more paragraph attributes.
4 Currently it is only used with \helpref{wxRichTextCtrl}{wxrichtextctrl}.
5
6 It is intended that eventually, the members of wxTextAttrEx will
7 be folded into wxTextAttr, and wxTextAttr will be the official
8 cross-platform API for text controls that support attributes.
9 However, for now, wxTextAttrEx is provided as a means of enabling
10 extra functionality in wxRichTextCtrl, while retaining some compatibility
11 with the wxTextAttr API.
12
13 The most efficient method of accessing wxRichTextCtrl functionality
14 is a third attribute class, \helpref{wxRichTextAttr}{wxrichtextattr}, which
15 optimizes its storage to allow it to be used for implementing objects
16 in a buffer, as well as access to that buffer.
17
18 This section only documents the additional members; see \helpref{wxTextAttr}{wxtextattr} for
19 the remaining functions.

31 The following values can be passed to SetAlignment to determine
32 paragraph alignment.
33
34 {\small
35 \begin{verbatim}
36 enum wxTextAttrAlignment
37 {
38 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_DEFAULT,
39 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_LEFT,
40 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTRE,
41 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTER = wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_CENTRE,
42 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_RIGHT,
43 wxTEXT_ALIGNMENT_JUSTIFIED
44 };
45 \end{verbatim}
46 }
47
48 These values are passed in a bitlist to SetFlags to determine
49 what attributes will be considered when setting the attributes
50 for a text control.
