15 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CHARACTER(id, func)}
16 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CHARACTER event, generated when the user
17 presses a character key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition, GetCharacter.
18 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_DELETE(id, func)}
19 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_DELETE event, generated when the user
20 presses the backspace or delete key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.
21 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_RETURN(id, func)}

23 presses the return key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.
24 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLE_CHANGED(id, func)}
25 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLE_CHANGED event, generated when
26 styling has been applied to the control. Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
27 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGED(id, func)}
28 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGING event, generated
29 when the control's stylesheet has changed, for example the user added,
30 edited or deleted a style. Valid event functions: GetRange, GetPosition.
31 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACING(id, func)}
32 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACING event, generated
33 when the control's stylesheet is about to be replaced, for example when
34 a file is loaded into the control.
35 Valid event functions: Veto, GetOldStyleSheet, GetNewStyleSheet.
36 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACED(id, func)}
37 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_REPLACED event, generated
38 when the control's stylesheet has been replaced, for example when a file
39 is loaded into the control.
40 Valid event functions: GetOldStyleSheet, GetNewStyleSheet.
41 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_INSERTED(id, func)}
42 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_INSERTED event, generated when
43 content has been inserted into the control.
44 Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
45 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_DELETED(id, func)}
46 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_CONTENT_DELETED event, generated when
47 content has been deleted from the control.
48 Valid event functions: GetPosition, GetRange.
49 @event{EVT_RICHTEXT_BUFFER_RESET(id, func)}
50 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_RICHTEXT_BUFFER_RESET event, generated when the
51 buffer has been reset by deleting all content.
52 You can use this to set a default style for the first new paragraph.
