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

829 Sets the line spacing. @a spacing is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing,
830 15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means double spacing.

894 Sets the text effects, a bit list of styles.
895 The ::wxTextAttrEffects enumeration values can be used.
897 Of these, only wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_CAPITALS, wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_STRIKETHROUGH,
898 wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUPERSCRIPT and wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUBSCRIPT are implemented.
900 wxTEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_CAPITALS capitalises text when displayed (leaving the case

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

930 A text control allows text to be displayed and edited.
932 It may be single line or multi-line. Notice that a lot of methods of the
933 text controls are found in the base wxTextEntry class which is a common
934 base class for wxTextCtrl and other controls using a single line text entry
935 field (e.g. wxComboBox).
938 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
939 The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
940 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
941 control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
942 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}
943 The control will receive @c wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
944 normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
945 instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
946 Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
947 @style{wxTE_MULTILINE}
948 The text control allows multiple lines. If this style is not
949 specified, line break characters should not be used in the controls
951 @style{wxTE_PASSWORD}
952 The text will be echoed as asterisks.
953 @style{wxTE_READONLY}
954 The text will not be user-editable.
956 Use rich text control under Win32, this allows to have more than
957 64KB of text in the control even under Win9x. This style is ignored
958 under other platforms.
960 Use rich text control version 2.0 or 3.0 under Win32, this style is
961 ignored under other platforms
962 @style{wxTE_AUTO_URL}
963 Highlight the URLs and generate the wxTextUrlEvents when mouse
964 events occur over them. This style is only supported for wxTE_RICH
965 Win32 and multi-line wxGTK2 text controls.
966 @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL}
967 By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection
968 when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always
969 show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
971 A horizontal scrollbar will be created and used, so that text won't
972 be wrapped. No effect under wxGTK1.
973 @style{wxTE_NO_VSCROLL}
974 For multiline controls only: vertical scrollbar will never be
975 created. This limits the amount of text which can be entered into
976 the control to what can be displayed in it under MSW but not under
977 GTK2. Currently not implemented for the other platforms.
979 The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
981 The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and
984 The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW
986 @style{wxTE_DONTWRAP}
987 Same as wxHSCROLL style: don't wrap at all, show horizontal
989 @style{wxTE_CHARWRAP}
990 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at any position
991 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
992 @style{wxTE_WORDWRAP}
993 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at word boundaries
994 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
995 @style{wxTE_BESTWRAP}
996 Wrap the lines at word boundaries or at any other character if
997 there are words longer than the window width (this is the default).
998 @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE}
999 On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be
1003 Note that alignment styles (wxTE_LEFT, wxTE_CENTRE and wxTE_RIGHT) can be
1004 changed dynamically after control creation on wxMSW and wxGTK. wxTE_READONLY,
1005 wxTE_PASSWORD and wrapping styles can be dynamically changed under wxGTK but
1006 not wxMSW. The other styles can be only set during control creation.
1009 @section textctrl_text_format wxTextCtrl Text Format
1011 The multiline text controls always store the text as a sequence of lines
1012 separated by @c '\\n' characters, i.e. in the Unix text format even on
1013 non-Unix platforms. This allows the user code to ignore the differences
1014 between the platforms but at a price: the indices in the control such as
1015 those returned by GetInsertionPoint() or GetSelection() can @b not be used
1016 as indices into the string returned by GetValue() as they're going to be
1017 slightly off for platforms using @c "\\r\\n" as separator (as Windows
1020 Instead, if you need to obtain a substring between the 2 indices obtained
1021 from the control with the help of the functions mentioned above, you should
1022 use GetRange(). And the indices themselves can only be passed to other
1023 methods, for example SetInsertionPoint() or SetSelection().
1025 To summarize: never use the indices returned by (multiline) wxTextCtrl as
1026 indices into the string it contains, but only as arguments to be passed
1027 back to the other wxTextCtrl methods. This problem doesn't arise for
1028 single-line platforms however where the indices in the control do
1029 correspond to the positions in the value string.
1032 @section textctrl_styles wxTextCtrl Styles.
1034 Multi-line text controls support styling, i.e. provide a possibility to set
1035 colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
1036 @c wxTE_RICH style is required for style support). To use the styles you
1037 can either call SetDefaultStyle() before inserting the text or call
1038 SetStyle() later to change the style of the text already in the control
1039 (the first solution is much more efficient).
1041 In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
1042 example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font
1043 nor the text background), the values of the default style will be used for
1044 them. If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control
1047 So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call to
1048 SetDefaultStyle() doesn't change the text foreground colour (which stays
1049 red) while the last one doesn't change the background colour (which stays
1053 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxRED));
1054 text->AppendText("Red text\n");
1055 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(wxNullColour, *wxLIGHT_GREY));
1056 text->AppendText("Red on grey text\n");
1057 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxBLUE);
1058 text->AppendText("Blue on grey text\n");
1062 @section textctrl_cpp_streams wxTextCtrl and C++ Streams
1064 This class multiply-inherits from @c std::streambuf (except for some really
1065 old compilers using non-standard iostream library), allowing code such as
1069 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1071 ostream stream(control)
1073 stream << 123.456 << " some text\n";
1077 Note that even if your compiler doesn't support this (the symbol
1078 @c wxHAS_TEXT_WINDOW_STREAM has value of 0 then) you can still use
1079 wxTextCtrl itself in a stream-like manner:
1082 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1084 *control << 123.456 << " some text\n";
1087 However the possibility to create an ostream associated with wxTextCtrl may
1088 be useful if you need to redirect the output of a function taking an
1089 ostream as parameter to a text control.
1091 Another commonly requested need is to redirect @c std::cout to the text
1092 control. This may be done in the following way:
1097 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1099 std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf();
1100 std::cout.rdbuf(control);
1102 // use cout as usual, the output appears in the text control
1105 std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld);
1108 But wxWidgets provides a convenient class to make it even simpler so
1109 instead you may just do
1114 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1116 wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(control);
1118 // all output to cout goes into the text control until the exit from
1122 See wxStreamToTextRedirector for more details.
1125 @section textctrl_event_handling Event Handling.
1127 The following commands are processed by default event handlers in
1128 wxTextCtrl: @c wxID_CUT, @c wxID_COPY, @c wxID_PASTE, @c wxID_UNDO, @c
1129 wxID_REDO. The associated UI update events are also processed
1130 automatically, when the control has the focus.
1132 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
1133 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
1134 Respond to a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, generated when the text
1135 changes. Notice that this event will be sent when the text controls
1136 contents changes -- whether this is due to user input or comes from the
1137 program itself (for example, if wxTextCtrl::SetValue() is called); see
1138 wxTextCtrl::ChangeValue() for a function which does not send this event.
1139 This event is however not sent during the control creation.
1140 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
1141 Respond to a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, generated when enter is
1142 pressed in a text control which must have wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style for
1143 this event to be generated.
1144 @event{EVT_TEXT_URL(id, func)}
1145 A mouse event occurred over an URL in the text control (wxMSW and
1146 wxGTK2 only currently).
1147 @event{EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN(id, func)}
1148 This event is generated when the user tries to enter more text into the
1149 control than the limit set by wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength(), see its description.
