799 @class wxTextCtrl
800
801 A text control allows text to be displayed and edited.
802
803 It may be single line or multi-line.
804
805 @beginStyleTable
806 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
807 The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
808 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
809 control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
810 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}
811 The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
812 normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
813 instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
814 Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
815 @style{wxTE_MULTILINE}
816 The text control allows multiple lines.
817 @style{wxTE_PASSWORD}
818 The text will be echoed as asterisks.
819 @style{wxTE_READONLY}
820 The text will not be user-editable.
821 @style{wxTE_RICH}
822 Use rich text control under Win32, this allows to have more than
823 64KB of text in the control even under Win9x. This style is ignored
824 under other platforms.
825 @style{wxTE_RICH2}
826 Use rich text control version 2.0 or 3.0 under Win32, this style is
827 ignored under other platforms
828 @style{wxTE_AUTO_URL}
829 Highlight the URLs and generate the wxTextUrlEvents when mouse
830 events occur over them. This style is only supported for wxTE_RICH
831 Win32 and multi-line wxGTK2 text controls.
832 @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL}
833 By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection
834 when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always
835 show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
836 @style{wxHSCROLL}
837 A horizontal scrollbar will be created and used, so that text won't
838 be wrapped. No effect under wxGTK1.
839 @style{wxTE_NO_VSCROLL}
840 For multiline controls only: vertical scrollbar will never be
841 created. This limits the amount of text which can be entered into
842 the control to what can be displayed in it under MSW but not under
843 GTK2. Currently not implemented for the other platforms.
844 @style{wxTE_LEFT}
845 The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
846 @style{wxTE_CENTRE}
847 The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and
848 wxGTK2 only).
849 @style{wxTE_RIGHT}
850 The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW
851 and wxGTK2 only).
852 @style{wxTE_DONTWRAP}
853 Same as wxHSCROLL style: don't wrap at all, show horizontal
854 scrollbar instead.
855 @style{wxTE_CHARWRAP}
856 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at any position
857 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
858 @style{wxTE_WORDWRAP}
859 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at word boundaries
860 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
861 @style{wxTE_BESTWRAP}
862 Wrap the lines at word boundaries or at any other character if
863 there are words longer than the window width (this is the default).
864 @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE}
865 On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be
866 capitalized.
867 @endStyleTable
868
869 Note that alignment styles (wxTE_LEFT, wxTE_CENTRE and wxTE_RIGHT) can be
870 changed dynamically after control creation on wxMSW and wxGTK. wxTE_READONLY,
871 wxTE_PASSWORD and wrapping styles can be dynamically changed under wxGTK but
872 not wxMSW. The other styles can be only set during control creation.
873
874
875 @section textctrl_text_format wxTextCtrl Text Format
876
877 The multiline text controls always store the text as a sequence of lines
878 separated by @c '\\n' characters, i.e. in the Unix text format even on
879 non-Unix platforms. This allows the user code to ignore the differences
880 between the platforms but at a price: the indices in the control such as
881 those returned by GetInsertionPoint() or GetSelection() can @b not be used
882 as indices into the string returned by GetValue() as they're going to be
883 slightly off for platforms using @c "\\r\\n" as separator (as Windows
884 does).
885
886 Instead, if you need to obtain a substring between the 2 indices obtained
887 from the control with the help of the functions mentioned above, you should
888 use GetRange(). And the indices themselves can only be passed to other
889 methods, for example SetInsertionPoint() or SetSelection().
890
891 To summarize: never use the indices returned by (multiline) wxTextCtrl as
892 indices into the string it contains, but only as arguments to be passed
893 back to the other wxTextCtrl methods. This problem doesn't arise for
894 single-line platforms however where the indices in the control do
895 correspond to the positions in the value string.
896
897
898 @section textctrl_styles wxTextCtrl Styles.
899
900 Multi-line text controls support styling, i.e. provide a possibility to set
901 colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
902 @c wxTE_RICH style is required for style support). To use the styles you
903 can either call SetDefaultStyle() before inserting the text or call
904 SetStyle() later to change the style of the text already in the control
905 (the first solution is much more efficient).
906
907 In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
908 example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font
909 nor the text background), the values of the default style will be used for
910 them. If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control
911 itself are used.
912
913 So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call to
914 SetDefaultStyle() doesn't change the text foreground colour (which stays
915 red) while the last one doesn't change the background colour (which stays
916 grey):
917
918 @code
919 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxRED));
920 text->AppendText("Red text\n");
921 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(wxNullColour, *wxLIGHT_GREY));
922 text->AppendText("Red on grey text\n");
923 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxBLUE);
924 text->AppendText("Blue on grey text\n");
925 @endcode
926
927
928 @section textctrl_cpp_streams wxTextCtrl and C++ Streams
929
930 This class multiply-inherits from @c std::streambuf (except for some really
931 old compilers using non-standard iostream library), allowing code such as
932 the following:
933
934 @code
935 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
936
937 ostream stream(control)
938
939 stream << 123.456 << " some text\n";
940 stream.flush();
941 @endcode
942
943 Note that even if your compiler doesn't support this (the symbol
944 @c wxHAS_TEXT_WINDOW_STREAM has value of 0 then) you can still use
945 wxTextCtrl itself in a stream-like manner:
946
947 @code
948 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
949
950 *control << 123.456 << " some text\n";
951 @endcode
952
953 However the possibility to create an ostream associated with wxTextCtrl may
954 be useful if you need to redirect the output of a function taking an
955 ostream as parameter to a text control.
956
957 Another commonly requested need is to redirect @c std::cout to the text
958 control. This may be done in the following way:
959
960 @code
961 #include <iostream>
962
963 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
964
965 std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf();
966 std::cout.rdbuf(control);
967
968 // use cout as usual, the output appears in the text control
969 ...
970
971 std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld);
972 @endcode
973
974 But wxWidgets provides a convenient class to make it even simpler so
975 instead you may just do
976
977 @code
978 #include <iostream>
979
980 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
981
982 wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(control);
983
984 // all output to cout goes into the text control until the exit from
985 // current scope
986 @endcode
987
988 See wxStreamToTextRedirector for more details.
989
990
991 @section textctrl_event_handling Event Handling.
992
993 The following commands are processed by default event handlers in
994 wxTextCtrl: @c wxID_CUT, @c wxID_COPY, @c wxID_PASTE, @c wxID_UNDO, @c
995 wxID_REDO. The associated UI update events are also processed
996 automatically, when the control has the focus.
997
998 @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
999 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
1000 Respond to a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, generated when the text
1001 changes. Notice that this event will be sent when the text controls
1002 contents changes -- whether this is due to user input or comes from the
1003 program itself (for example, if wxTextCtrl::SetValue() is called); see
1004 wxTextCtrl::ChangeValue() for a function which does not send this event.
1005 This event is however not sent during the control creation.
1006 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
1007 Respond to a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, generated when enter is
1008 pressed in a text control which must have wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style for
1009 this event to be generated.
1010 @event{EVT_TEXT_URL(id, func)}
1011 A mouse event occurred over an URL in the text control (wxMSW and
1012 wxGTK2 only currently).
1013 @event{EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN(id, func)}
1014 This event is generated when the user tries to enter more text into the
1015 control than the limit set by wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength(), see its description.
