846 @class wxTextCtrl
847
848 A text control allows text to be displayed and edited.
849
850 It may be single line or multi-line. Notice that a lot of methods of the
851 text controls are found in the base wxTextEntry class which is a common
852 base class for wxTextCtrl and other controls using a single line text entry
853 field (e.g. wxComboBox).
854
855 @beginStyleTable
856 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
857 The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
858 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
859 control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
860 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}
861 The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
862 normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
863 instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
864 Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
865 @style{wxTE_MULTILINE}
866 The text control allows multiple lines. If this style is not
867 specified, line break characters should not be used in the controls
868 value.
869 @style{wxTE_PASSWORD}
870 The text will be echoed as asterisks.
871 @style{wxTE_READONLY}
872 The text will not be user-editable.
873 @style{wxTE_RICH}
874 Use rich text control under Win32, this allows to have more than
875 64KB of text in the control even under Win9x. This style is ignored
876 under other platforms.
877 @style{wxTE_RICH2}
878 Use rich text control version 2.0 or 3.0 under Win32, this style is
879 ignored under other platforms
880 @style{wxTE_AUTO_URL}
881 Highlight the URLs and generate the wxTextUrlEvents when mouse
882 events occur over them. This style is only supported for wxTE_RICH
883 Win32 and multi-line wxGTK2 text controls.
884 @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL}
885 By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection
886 when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always
887 show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
888 @style{wxHSCROLL}
889 A horizontal scrollbar will be created and used, so that text won't
890 be wrapped. No effect under wxGTK1.
891 @style{wxTE_NO_VSCROLL}
892 For multiline controls only: vertical scrollbar will never be
893 created. This limits the amount of text which can be entered into
894 the control to what can be displayed in it under MSW but not under
895 GTK2. Currently not implemented for the other platforms.
896 @style{wxTE_LEFT}
897 The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
898 @style{wxTE_CENTRE}
899 The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and
900 wxGTK2 only).
901 @style{wxTE_RIGHT}
902 The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW
903 and wxGTK2 only).
904 @style{wxTE_DONTWRAP}
905 Same as wxHSCROLL style: don't wrap at all, show horizontal
906 scrollbar instead.
907 @style{wxTE_CHARWRAP}
908 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at any position
909 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
910 @style{wxTE_WORDWRAP}
911 Wrap the lines too long to be shown entirely at word boundaries
912 (wxUniv and wxGTK2 only).
913 @style{wxTE_BESTWRAP}
914 Wrap the lines at word boundaries or at any other character if
915 there are words longer than the window width (this is the default).
916 @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE}
917 On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be
918 capitalized.
919 @endStyleTable
920
921 Note that alignment styles (wxTE_LEFT, wxTE_CENTRE and wxTE_RIGHT) can be
922 changed dynamically after control creation on wxMSW and wxGTK. wxTE_READONLY,
923 wxTE_PASSWORD and wrapping styles can be dynamically changed under wxGTK but
924 not wxMSW. The other styles can be only set during control creation.
925
926
927 @section textctrl_text_format wxTextCtrl Text Format
928
929 The multiline text controls always store the text as a sequence of lines
930 separated by @c '\\n' characters, i.e. in the Unix text format even on
931 non-Unix platforms. This allows the user code to ignore the differences
932 between the platforms but at a price: the indices in the control such as
933 those returned by GetInsertionPoint() or GetSelection() can @b not be used
934 as indices into the string returned by GetValue() as they're going to be
935 slightly off for platforms using @c "\\r\\n" as separator (as Windows
936 does).
937
938 Instead, if you need to obtain a substring between the 2 indices obtained
939 from the control with the help of the functions mentioned above, you should
940 use GetRange(). And the indices themselves can only be passed to other
941 methods, for example SetInsertionPoint() or SetSelection().
942
943 To summarize: never use the indices returned by (multiline) wxTextCtrl as
944 indices into the string it contains, but only as arguments to be passed
945 back to the other wxTextCtrl methods. This problem doesn't arise for
946 single-line platforms however where the indices in the control do
947 correspond to the positions in the value string.
948
949
950 @section textctrl_styles wxTextCtrl Styles.
951
952 Multi-line text controls support styling, i.e. provide a possibility to set
953 colours and font for individual characters in it (note that under Windows
954 @c wxTE_RICH style is required for style support). To use the styles you
955 can either call SetDefaultStyle() before inserting the text or call
956 SetStyle() later to change the style of the text already in the control
957 (the first solution is much more efficient).
958
959 In either case, if the style doesn't specify some of the attributes (for
960 example you only want to set the text colour but without changing the font
961 nor the text background), the values of the default style will be used for
962 them. If there is no default style, the attributes of the text control
963 itself are used.
964
965 So the following code correctly describes what it does: the second call to
966 SetDefaultStyle() doesn't change the text foreground colour (which stays
967 red) while the last one doesn't change the background colour (which stays
968 grey):
969
970 @code
971 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxRED));
972 text->AppendText("Red text\n");
973 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(wxNullColour, *wxLIGHT_GREY));
974 text->AppendText("Red on grey text\n");
975 text->SetDefaultStyle(wxTextAttr(*wxBLUE);
976 text->AppendText("Blue on grey text\n");
977 @endcode
978
979
980 @section textctrl_cpp_streams wxTextCtrl and C++ Streams
981
982 This class multiply-inherits from @c std::streambuf (except for some really
983 old compilers using non-standard iostream library), allowing code such as
984 the following:
985
986 @code
987 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
988
989 ostream stream(control)
990
991 stream << 123.456 << " some text\n";
992 stream.flush();
993 @endcode
994
995 Note that even if your compiler doesn't support this (the symbol
996 @c wxHAS_TEXT_WINDOW_STREAM has value of 0 then) you can still use
997 wxTextCtrl itself in a stream-like manner:
998
999 @code
1000 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1001
1002 *control << 123.456 << " some text\n";
1003 @endcode
1004
1005 However the possibility to create an ostream associated with wxTextCtrl may
1006 be useful if you need to redirect the output of a function taking an
1007 ostream as parameter to a text control.
1008
1009 Another commonly requested need is to redirect @c std::cout to the text
1010 control. This may be done in the following way:
1011
1012 @code
1013 #include <iostream>
1014
1015 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1016
1017 std::streambuf *sbOld = std::cout.rdbuf();
1018 std::cout.rdbuf(control);
1019
1020 // use cout as usual, the output appears in the text control
1021 ...
1022
1023 std::cout.rdbuf(sbOld);
1024 @endcode
1025
1026 But wxWidgets provides a convenient class to make it even simpler so
1027 instead you may just do
1028
1029 @code
1030 #include <iostream>
1031
1032 wxTextCtrl *control = new wxTextCtrl(...);
1033
1034 wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(control);
1035
1036 // all output to cout goes into the text control until the exit from
1037 // current scope
1038 @endcode
1039
1040 See wxStreamToTextRedirector for more details.
1041
1042
1043 @section textctrl_event_handling Event Handling.
1044
1045 The following commands are processed by default event handlers in
1046 wxTextCtrl: @c wxID_CUT, @c wxID_COPY, @c wxID_PASTE, @c wxID_UNDO, @c
1047 wxID_REDO. The associated UI update events are also processed
1048 automatically, when the control has the focus.
1049
1050 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
1051 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
1052 Respond to a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, generated when the text
1053 changes. Notice that this event will be sent when the text controls
1054 contents changes -- whether this is due to user input or comes from the
1055 program itself (for example, if wxTextCtrl::SetValue() is called); see
1056 wxTextCtrl::ChangeValue() for a function which does not send this event.
1057 This event is however not sent during the control creation.
1058 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
1059 Respond to a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, generated when enter is
1060 pressed in a text control which must have wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style for
1061 this event to be generated.
1062 @event{EVT_TEXT_URL(id, func)}
1063 A mouse event occurred over an URL in the text control (wxMSW and
1064 wxGTK2 only currently).
1065 @event{EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN(id, func)}
1066 This event is generated when the user tries to enter more text into the
1067 control than the limit set by wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength(), see its description.
