wxRichTextBuffer(const wxRichTextBuffer& obj)
Copy constructor.
wxRichTextBuffer()
Default constructors.
~wxRichTextBuffer()
Destructor.
bool AddEventHandler(wxEvtHandler* handler)
Adds an event handler to the buffer's list of handlers. A buffer associated with a contol has the control as the only event handler, but the application is free to add more if further notification is required. All handlers are notified of an event originating from the buffer, such as the replacement of a style sheet during loading. The buffer never deletes any of the event handlers, unless wxRichTextBuffer::RemoveEventHandler is called with true as the second argument.
void AddHandler(wxRichTextFileHandler* handler)
Adds a file handler.
wxRichTextRange AddParagraph(const wxString& text)
Adds a paragraph of text.
bool BatchingUndo() const
Returns true if the buffer is currently collapsing commands into a single notional command.
bool BeginAlignment(wxTextAttrAlignment alignment)
Begins using alignment.
bool BeginBatchUndo(const wxString& cmdName)
Begins collapsing undo/redo commands. Note that this may not work properly if combining commands that delete or insert content, changing ranges for subsequent actions.
cmdName should be the name of the combined command that will appear next to Undo and Redo in the edit menu.
bool BeginBold()
Begin applying bold.
bool BeginCharacterStyle(const wxString& characterStyle)
Begins applying the named character style.
bool BeginFont(const wxFont& font)
Begins using this font.
bool BeginFontSize(int pointSize)
Begins using the given point size.
bool BeginItalic()
Begins using italic.
bool BeginLeftIndent(int leftIndent, int leftSubIndent = 0)
Begin using leftIndent for the left indent, and optionally leftSubIndent for the sub-indent. Both are expressed in tenths of a millimetre.
The sub-indent is an offset from the left of the paragraph, and is used for all but the first line in a paragraph. A positive value will cause the first line to appear to the left of the subsequent lines, and a negative value will cause the first line to be indented relative to the subsequent lines.
bool BeginLineSpacing(int lineSpacing)
Begins line spacing using the specified value. spacing is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing, 15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means double spacing. The following constants are defined for convenience:
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_NORMAL 10
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_HALF 15
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_LINE_SPACING_TWICE 20
bool BeginListStyle(const wxString& listStyle, int level=1, int number=1)
Begins using a specified list style. Optionally, you can also pass a level and a number.
bool BeginNumberedBullet(int bulletNumber, int leftIndent, int leftSubIndent, int bulletStyle = wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ARABIC|wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_PERIOD)
Begins a numbered bullet. This call will be needed for each item in the list, and the application should take care of incrementing the numbering.
bulletNumber is a number, usually starting with 1.
leftIndent and leftSubIndent are values in tenths of a millimetre.
bulletStyle is a bitlist of the following values:
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_NONE 0x00000000
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ARABIC 0x00000001
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_LETTERS_UPPER 0x00000002
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_LETTERS_LOWER 0x00000004
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ROMAN_UPPER 0x00000008
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ROMAN_LOWER 0x00000010
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_SYMBOL 0x00000020
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_BITMAP 0x00000040
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_PARENTHESES 0x00000080
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_PERIOD 0x00000100
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_STANDARD 0x00000200
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_RIGHT_PARENTHESIS 0x00000400
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_OUTLINE 0x00000800
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ALIGN_LEFT 0x00000000
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ALIGN_RIGHT 0x00001000
#define wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_ALIGN_CENTRE 0x00002000
wxRichTextBuffer uses indentation to render a bulleted item. The left indent is the distance between the margin and the bullet. The content of the paragraph, including the first line, starts at leftMargin + leftSubIndent. So the distance between the left edge of the bullet and the left of the actual paragraph is leftSubIndent.
bool BeginParagraphSpacing(int before, int after)
Begins paragraph spacing; pass the before-paragraph and after-paragraph spacing in tenths of a millimetre.
bool BeginParagraphStyle(const wxString& paragraphStyle)
Begins applying the named paragraph style.
bool BeginRightIndent(int rightIndent)
Begins a right indent, specified in tenths of a millimetre.
bool BeginStyle(const wxTextAttrEx& style)
Begins using a specified style.
bool BeginSuppressUndo()
Begins suppressing undo/redo commands. The way undo is suppressed may be implemented differently by each command. If not dealt with by a command implementation, then it will be implemented automatically by not storing the command in the undo history when the action is submitted to the command processor.
bool BeginStandardBullet(const wxString& bulletName, int leftIndent, int leftSubIndent, int bulletStyle = wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_STANDARD)
Begins applying a standard bullet, using one of the standard bullet names (currently standard/circle or standard/square. See BeginNumberedBullet for an explanation of how indentation is used to render the bulleted paragraph.
bool BeginSymbolBullet(wxChar symbol, int leftIndent, int leftSubIndent, int bulletStyle = wxTEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_SYMBOL)
Begins applying a symbol bullet, using a character from the current font. See BeginNumberedBullet for an explanation of how indentation is used to render the bulleted paragraph.
bool BeginTextColour(const wxColour& colour)
Begins using the specified text foreground colour.
bool BeginUnderline()
Begins using underline.
bool BeginURL(const wxString& url, const wxString& characterStyle = wxEmptyString)
Begins applying wxTEXT_ATTR_URL to the content. Pass a URL and optionally, a character style to apply, since it is common to mark a URL with a familiar style such as blue text with underlining.
bool CanPasteFromClipboard() const
Returns true if content can be pasted from the clipboard.
void CleanUpHandlers()
Cleans up the file handlers.
void Clear()
Clears the buffer.
bool ClearListStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO)
bool ClearListStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO)
Clears the list style from the given range, clearing list-related attributes and applying any named paragraph style associated with each paragraph.
flags is a bit list of the following:
See also wxRichTextBuffer::SetListStyle, wxRichTextBuffer::PromoteList, wxRichTextBuffer::NumberList.
void ClearStyleStack()
Clears the style stack.
wxRichTextObject* Clone() const

wxRichTextFileHandler* FindHandler(int imageType)
Finds a handler by type.
wxRichTextFileHandler* FindHandler(const wxString& extension, int imageType)
Finds a handler by extension and type.
wxRichTextFileHandler* FindHandler(const wxString& name)
Finds a handler by name.
wxRichTextFileHandler* FindHandlerFilenameOrType(const wxString& filename, int imageType)
Finds a handler by filename or, if supplied, type.
const wxTextAttrEx& GetBasicStyle() const
Gets the basic (overall) style. This is the style of the whole buffer before further styles are applied, unlike the default style, which only affects the style currently being applied (for example, setting the default style to bold will cause subsequently inserted text to be bold).
wxRichTextCommand* GetBatchedCommand() const
Gets the collapsed command.
wxCommandProcessor* GetCommandProcessor() const
Gets the command processor. A text buffer always creates its own command processor when it is initialized.
const wxTextAttrEx& GetDefaultStyle() const
Returns the current default style, affecting the style currently being applied (for example, setting the default style to bold will cause subsequently inserted text to be bold).
wxString GetExtWildcard(bool combine = false, bool save = false, wxArrayInt* types = NULL)
Gets a wildcard incorporating all visible handlers. If types is present, it will be filled with the file type corresponding to each filter. This can be used to determine the type to pass to LoadFile given a selected filter.
wxList& GetHandlers()
Returns the list of file handlers.
static wxRichTextRenderer* GetRenderer()
Returns the object to be used to render certain aspects of the content, such as bullets.
bool GetStyle(long position, wxRichTextAttr& style)
bool GetStyle(long position, wxTextAttrEx& style)
Gets the attributes at the given position.
This function gets the combined style - that is, the style you see on the screen as a result of combining base style, paragraph style and character style attributes. To get the character or paragraph style alone, use GetUncombinedStyle.
bool GetStyleForRange(const wxRichTextRange& range, wxTextAttrEx& style)
This function gets a style representing the common, combined attributes in the given range. Attributes which have different values within the specified range will not be included the style flags.
The function is used to get the attributes to display in the formatting dialog: the user can edit the attributes common to the selection, and optionally specify the values of further attributes to be applied uniformly.
To apply the edited attributes, you can use SetStyle specifying the wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_OPTIMIZE flag, which will only apply attributes that are different from the combined attributes within the range. So, the user edits the effective, displayed attributes for the range, but his choice won't be applied unnecessarily to content. As an example, say the style for a paragraph specifies bold, but the paragraph text doesn't specify a weight. The combined style is bold, and this is what the user will see on-screen and in the formatting dialog. The user now specifies red text, in addition to bold. When applying with SetStyle, the content font weight attributes won't be changed to bold because this is already specified by the paragraph. However the text colour attributes will be changed to show red.
wxRichTextStyleSheet* GetStyleSheet() const
Returns the current style sheet associated with the buffer, if any.
size_t GetStyleStackSize() const
Get the size of the style stack, for example to check correct nesting.
bool GetUncombinedStyle(long position, wxRichTextAttr& style)
bool GetUncombinedStyle(long position, wxTextAttrEx& style)
Gets the attributes at the given position.
This function gets the uncombined style - that is, the attributes associated with the paragraph or character content, and not necessarily the combined attributes you see on the screen. To get the combined attributes, use GetStyle.
If you specify (any) paragraph attribute in style's flags, this function will fetch the paragraph attributes. Otherwise, it will return the character attributes.
int HitTest(wxDC& dc, const wxPoint& pt, long& textPosition)
Finds the text position for the given position, putting the position in textPosition if one is found. pt is in logical units (a zero y position is at the beginning of the buffer).
The function returns one of the following values:
// The point was not on this object
#define wxRICHTEXT_HITTEST_NONE 0x01
// The point was before the position returned from HitTest
#define wxRICHTEXT_HITTEST_BEFORE 0x02
// The point was after the position returned from HitTest
#define wxRICHTEXT_HITTEST_AFTER 0x04
// The point was on the position returned from HitTest
#define wxRICHTEXT_HITTEST_ON 0x08
// The point was on space outside content
#define wxRICHTEXT_HITTEST_OUTSIDE 0x10
void Init()
Initialisation.
void InitStandardHandlers()
Initialises the standard handlers. Currently, only the plain text loading/saving handler is initialised by default.
void InsertHandler(wxRichTextFileHandler* handler)
Inserts a handler at the front of the list.
bool InsertImageWithUndo(long pos, const wxRichTextImageBlock& imageBlock, wxRichTextCtrl* ctrl)
Submits a command to insert the given image.
bool InsertNewlineWithUndo(long pos, wxRichTextCtrl* ctrl)
Submits a command to insert a newline.
bool InsertTextWithUndo(long pos, const wxString& text, wxRichTextCtrl* ctrl)
Submits a command to insert the given text.
bool IsModified() const
Returns true if the buffer has been modified.
bool LoadFile(wxInputStream& stream, int type = wxRICHTEXT_TYPE_ANY)
Loads content from a stream.
bool LoadFile(const wxString& filename, int type = wxRICHTEXT_TYPE_ANY)
Loads content from a file.
void Modify(bool modify = true)
Marks the buffer as modified or unmodified.
bool NumberList(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxRichTextListStyleDefinition* style, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int startFrom = -1, int listLevel = -1)
bool Number(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxString& styleName, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int startFrom = -1, int listLevel = -1)
Numbers the paragraphs in the given range. Pass flags to determine how the attributes are set. Either the style definition or the name of the style definition (in the current sheet) can be passed.
flags is a bit list of the following:
See also wxRichTextBuffer::SetListStyle, wxRichTextBuffer::PromoteList, wxRichTextBuffer::ClearListStyle.
bool PasteFromClipboard(long position)
Pastes the clipboard content to the buffer at the given position.
bool PromoteList(int promoteBy, const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxRichTextListStyleDefinition* style, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int listLevel = -1)
bool PromoteList(int promoteBy, const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxString& styleName, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int listLevel = -1)
Promotes or demotes the paragraphs in the given range. A positive promoteBy produces a smaller indent, and a negative number produces a larger indent. Pass flags to determine how the attributes are set. Either the style definition or the name of the style definition (in the current sheet) can be passed.
flags is a bit list of the following:
See also wxRichTextBuffer::SetListStyle, See also wxRichTextBuffer::SetListStyle, wxRichTextBuffer::ClearListStyle.
bool RemoveEventHandler(wxEvtHandler* handler, bool deleteHandler = false)
Removes an event handler from the buffer's list of handlers, deleting the object if deleteHandler is true.
bool RemoveHandler(const wxString& name)
Removes a handler.
void ResetAndClearCommands()
Clears the buffer, adds a new blank paragraph, and clears the command history.
bool SaveFile(wxOutputStream& stream, int type = wxRICHTEXT_TYPE_ANY)
Saves content to a stream.
bool SaveFile(const wxString& filename, int type = wxRICHTEXT_TYPE_ANY)
Saves content to a file.
void SetBasicStyle(const wxRichTextAttr& style)
void SetBasicStyle(const wxTextAttrEx& style)
Sets the basic (overall) style. This is the style of the whole buffer before further styles are applied, unlike the default style, which only affects the style currently being applied (for example, setting the default style to bold will cause subsequently inserted text to be bold).
void SetDefaultStyle(const wxTextAttrEx& style)
Sets the default style, affecting the style currently being applied (for example, setting the default style to bold will cause subsequently inserted text to be bold).
This is not cumulative - setting the default style will replace the previous default style.
bool SetListStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxRichTextListStyleDefinition* style, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int startFrom = -1, int listLevel = -1)
bool SetListStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxString& styleName, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO, int startFrom = -1, int listLevel = -1)
Sets the list attributes for the given range, passing flags to determine how the attributes are set. Either the style definition or the name of the style definition (in the current sheet) can be passed.
flags is a bit list of the following:
See also wxRichTextBuffer::NumberList, wxRichTextBuffer::PromoteList, wxRichTextBuffer::ClearListStyle.
static void SetRenderer(wxRichTextRenderer* renderer)
Sets renderer as the object to be used to render certain aspects of the content, such as bullets. You can override default rendering by deriving a new class from wxRichTextRenderer or wxRichTextStdRenderer, overriding one or more virtual functions, and setting an instance of the class using this function.
bool SetStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxRichTextAttr& style, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO)
bool SetStyle(const wxRichTextRange& range, const wxTextAttrEx& style, int flags = wxRICHTEXT_SETSTYLE_WITH_UNDO)
Sets the attributes for the given range. Pass flags to determine how the attributes are set.
The end point of range is specified as the last character position of the span of text. So, for example, to set the style for a character at position 5, use the range (5,5). This differs from the wxRichTextCtrl API, where you would specify (5,6).
flags may contain a bit list of the following values:
void SetStyleSheet(wxRichTextStyleSheet* styleSheet)
Sets the current style sheet, if any. This will allow the application to use named character and paragraph styles found in the style sheet.
bool SubmitAction(wxRichTextAction* action)
Submit an action immediately, or delay it according to whether collapsing is on.
bool SuppressingUndo() const
Returns true if undo suppression is currently on.
