Detailed Description

Multi-line text editing widget.

It displays a Gtk::TextBuffer.

The TextView widget looks like this:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::TextView::~TextView ( ) [virtual]

Gtk::TextView::TextView ( )

Gtk::TextView::TextView ( const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer >& buffer ) [explicit]

Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::TextView::add_child_at_anchor	(	Widget&	child,
		const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer::ChildAnchor >&	anchor
	)

Adds a child widget in the text buffer, at the given anchor.

Parameters:

child	A Gtk::Widget.
anchor	A Gtk::TextChildAnchor in the Gtk::TextBuffer for text_view.

void Gtk::TextView::add_child_in_window	(	Widget&	child,
		TextWindowType	which_window,
		int	xpos,
		int	ypos
	)

Adds a child at fixed coordinates in one of the text widget's windows.

The window must have nonzero size (see set_border_window_size()). Note that the child coordinates are given relative to the Gdk::Window in question, and that these coordinates have no sane relationship to scrolling. When placing a child in Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET, scrolling is irrelevant, the child floats above all scrollable areas. But when placing a child in one of the scrollable windows (border windows or text window), you'll need to compute the child's correct position in buffer coordinates any time scrolling occurs or buffer changes occur, and then call move_child() to update the child's position. Unfortunately there's no good way to detect that scrolling has occurred, using the current API; a possible hack would be to update all child positions when the scroll adjustments change or the text buffer changes. See bug 64518 on bugzilla.gnome.org for status of fixing this issue.

Parameters:

child	A Gtk::Widget.
which_window	Which window the child should appear in.
xpos	X position of child in window coordinates.
ypos	Y position of child in window coordinates.

bool Gtk::TextView::backward_display_line ( TextBuffer::iterator& iter )

Moves the given iter backward by one display (wrapped) line.

A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view's width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the Gtk::TextBuffer.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.

Returns:: true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator.

bool Gtk::TextView::backward_display_line_start ( TextBuffer::iterator& iter )

Moves the given iter backward to the next display line start.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.

Returns:: true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator.

void Gtk::TextView::buffer_to_window_coords	(	TextWindowType	win,
		int	buffer_x,
		int	buffer_y,
		int &	window_x,
		int &	window_y
	)		const

Converts coordinate ( buffer_x, buffer_y) to coordinates for the window win, and stores the result in ( window_x, window_y).

Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see set_border_window_size()).

Parameters:

win	A Gtk::TextWindowType except Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_PRIVATE.
buffer_x	Buffer x coordinate.
buffer_y	Buffer y coordinate.
window_x	Window x coordinate return location or `0`.
window_y	Window y coordinate return location or `0`.

bool Gtk::TextView::forward_display_line ( TextBuffer::iterator& iter )

Moves the given iter forward by one display (wrapped) line.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.

Returns:: true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator.

bool Gtk::TextView::forward_display_line_end ( TextBuffer::iterator& iter )

Moves the given iter forward to the next display line end.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.

Returns:: true if iter was moved and is not on the end iterator.

bool Gtk::TextView::get_accepts_tab ( ) const

Returns whether pressing the Tab key inserts a tab characters.

set_accepts_tab().

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Returns:: true if pressing the Tab key inserts a tab character, false if pressing the Tab key moves the keyboard focus.

int Gtk::TextView::get_border_window_size ( TextWindowType type ) const

Gets the width of the specified border window.

See set_border_window_size().

Parameters:

type	Window to return size from.

Returns:: Width of window.

Glib::RefPtr<const TextBuffer> Gtk::TextView::get_buffer ( ) const

Returns the Gtk::TextBuffer being displayed by this text view.

The reference count on the buffer is not incremented; the caller of this function won't own a new reference.

Returns:: A Gtk::TextBuffer.

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer> Gtk::TextView::get_buffer ( )

Returns the Gtk::TextBuffer being displayed by this text view.

The reference count on the buffer is not incremented; the caller of this function won't own a new reference.

Returns:: A Gtk::TextBuffer.

void Gtk::TextView::get_cursor_locations	(	const TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		Gdk::Rectangle&	strong,
		Gdk::Rectangle&	weak
	)		const

bool Gtk::TextView::get_cursor_visible ( ) const

Find out whether the cursor is being displayed.

Returns:: Whether the insertion mark is visible.

TextAttributes Gtk::TextView::get_default_attributes ( ) const

Obtains a copy of the default text attributes.

These are the attributes used for text unless a tag overrides them. You'd typically pass the default attributes in to Gtk::TextIter::get_attributes() in order to get the attributes in effect at a given text position.

Returns:: A new Gtk::TextAttributes.

bool Gtk::TextView::get_editable ( ) const

Returns the default editability of the Gtk::TextView.

Tags in the buffer may override this setting for some ranges of text.

void Gtk::TextView::get_iter_at_location	(	TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		int	x,
		int	y
	)		const

Retrieves the iterator at buffer coordinates x and y.

Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with window_to_buffer_coords().

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
x	X position, in buffer coordinates.
y	Y position, in buffer coordinates.

void Gtk::TextView::get_iter_at_position	(	TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		int &	trailing,
		int	x,
		int	y
	)		const

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y.

Note that this is different from get_iter_at_location(), which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
trailing	If non-`0`, location to store an integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked. It will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the trailing edge of the grapheme.
x	X position, in buffer coordinates.
y	Y position, in buffer coordinates.

void Gtk::TextView::get_iter_location	(	const TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		Gdk::Rectangle&	location
	)		const

Gets a rectangle which roughly contains the character at iter.

The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use buffer_to_window_coords() to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
location	Bounds of the character at iter.

Justification Gtk::TextView::get_justification ( ) const

Gets the default justification of paragraphs in text_view.

Tags in the buffer may override the default.

		int	y,
		int &	line_top
	)		const

Gets the Gtk::TextIter at the start of the line containing the coordinate y.

y is in buffer coordinates, convert from window coordinates with window_to_buffer_coords(). If non-0, line_top will be filled with the coordinate of the top edge of the line.

Parameters:

target_iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
y	A y coordinate.
line_top	Return location for top coordinate of the line.

void Gtk::TextView::get_line_yrange	(	const TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		int &	y,
		int &	height
	)		const

Gets the y coordinate of the top of the line containing iter, and the height of the line.

The coordinate is a buffer coordinate; convert to window coordinates with buffer_to_window_coords().

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
y	Return location for a y coordinate.
height	Return location for a height.

bool Gtk::TextView::get_overwrite ( ) const

Returns:: Copy of default tab array, or an empty array if "standard" tabs are used.

void Gtk::TextView::get_visible_rect ( Gdk::Rectangle& visible_rect ) const

Fills visible_rect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in buffer coordinates.

Convert to window coordinates with buffer_to_window_coords().

Parameters:

visible_rect Rectangle to fill.

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> Gtk::TextView::get_window ( TextWindowType win )

Retrieves the Gdk::Window corresponding to an area of the text view; possible windows include the overall widget window, child windows on the left, right, top, bottom, and the window that displays the text buffer.

Windows are 0 and nonexistent if their width or height is 0, and are nonexistent before the widget has been realized.

Parameters:

win	Window to get.

Returns:: A Gdk::Window, or 0.

Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Window> Gtk::TextView::get_window ( TextWindowType win ) const

Windows are 0 and nonexistent if their width or height is 0, and are nonexistent before the widget has been realized.

Returns:: A Gdk::Window, or 0.

TextWindowType Gtk::TextView::get_window_type ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Window >& window )

Usually used to find out which window an event corresponds to.

If you connect to an event signal on text_view, this function should be called on event->window to see which window it was.

Parameters:

window A window type.

Returns:: The window type.

WrapMode Gtk::TextView::get_wrap_mode ( ) const

Gets the line wrapping for the view.

Returns:: The line wrap setting.

const GtkTextView* Gtk::TextView::gobj ( ) const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Container.

GtkTextView* Gtk::TextView::gobj ( ) [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Container.

bool Gtk::TextView::im_context_filter_keypress ( GdkEventKey * event )

Allow the Gtk::TextView input method to internally handle key press and release events.

If this function returns true, then no further processing should be done for this key event. See gtk_im_context_filter_keypress().

Note that you are expected to call this function from your handler when overriding key event handling. This is needed in the case when you need to insert your own key handling between the input method and the default key event handling of the Gtk::TextView.

|[ static bool gtk_foo_bar_key_press_event (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventKey *event) { if ((key->keyval == GDK_Return || key->keyval == GDK_KP_Enter)) { if (gtk_text_view_im_context_filter_keypress (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (view), event)) return true; }

/ * Do some stuff * /

return GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (gtk_foo_bar_parent_class)->key_press_event (widget, event); } ]|

Since gtkmm 2.22:

Parameters:

event The key event.

Returns:: true if the input method handled the key event.

void Gtk::TextView::move_child	(	Widget&	child,
		int	xpos,
		int	ypos
	)

Updates the position of a child, as for add_child_in_window().

Parameters:

child	Child widget already added to the text view.
xpos	New X position in window coordinates.
ypos	New Y position in window coordinates.

bool Gtk::TextView::move_mark_onscreen ( const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer::Mark >& mark )

Moves a mark within the buffer so that it's located within the currently-visible text area.

Parameters:

mark	A Gtk::TextMark.

Returns:: true if the mark moved (wasn't already onscreen).

bool Gtk::TextView::move_visually	(	TextBuffer::iterator&	iter,
		int	count
	)

Move the iterator a given number of characters visually, treating it as the strong cursor position.

If count is positive, then the new strong cursor position will be count positions to the right of the old cursor position. If count is negative then the new strong cursor position will be count positions to the left of the old cursor position.

In the presence of bi-directional text, the correspondence between logical and visual order will depend on the direction of the current run, and there may be jumps when the cursor is moved off of the end of a run.

Parameters:

iter	A Gtk::TextIter.
count	Number of characters to move (negative moves left, positive moves right).

Returns:: true if iter moved and is not on the end iterator.
