## Detailed Description

Multi-line text editing widget.

It displays a Gtk::TextBuffer.

The TextView widget looks like this:

## 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.

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.

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.

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.

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::forward_display_line_end | ( | TextBuffer::iterator& | iter | ) |

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

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::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<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.

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.

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

Given an iter within a text layout, determine the positions of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at that iterator.

The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted.

If iter is `0`, the actual cursor position is used.

Note that if iter happens to be the actual cursor position, and there is currently an IM preedit sequence being entered, the returned locations will be adjusted to account for the preedit cursor's offset within the preedit sequence.

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.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters

  iter | A Gtk::TextIter.
  strong | Location to store the strong cursor position (may be `0`).
  weak | Location to store the weak cursor position (may be `0`).

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.

|  | int | y
| ) |  | const

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character 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().

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

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

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.

[C example ellipted]

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,

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.

Since gtkmm 2.22:

bool Gtk::TextView::scroll_to | ( | TextBuffer::iterator& | iter,
|  | double | within_margin = `0`
| ) |  |

Scrolls the TextView so that iter is on the screen, by scrolling the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all.

The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size within_margin.

Note
  This function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. Note that line heights are computed in an idle handler; so this function may not have the desired effect if it's called before the height computations. To avoid oddness, consider using gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark() which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.

Parameters

  iter | An iterator pointing to the position that should be made visible by scrolling.
  within_margin | margin as a [0.0,0.5] fraction of screen size.

Returns
  true if scrolling occurred.

|  | double | within_margin,
|  | double | xalign,
|  | double | yalign
| ) |  |

Scrolls the TextView so that iter is on the screen, in the position indicated by xalign and yalign, possibly not scrolling at all.

The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size within_margin.

Note
  This function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. Note that line heights are computed in an idle handler; so this function may not have the desired effect if it's called before the height computations. To avoid oddness, consider using gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark() which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.

Parameters

  iter | An iterator pointing to the position that should be made visible by scrolling.
  within_margin | margin as a [0.0,0.5] fraction of screen size.
  xalign | horizontal alignment of mark within visible area. An alignment of 0.0 indicates left, 1.0 indicates right, 0.5 means center.
  yalign | vertical alignment of mark within visible area. An alignment of 0.0 indicates top, 1.0 indicates bottom, 0.5 means center.

Returns
  true if scrolling occurred.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters

  accepts_tab | `true` if pressing the Tab key should insert a tab character, `false`, if pressing the Tab key should move the keyboard focus.

void Gtk::TextView::set_border_window_size | ( | TextWindowType | type,
|  | int | size
| ) |  |

Sets the width of Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_LEFT or Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_RIGHT, or the height of Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_TOP or Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_BOTTOM.

Automatically destroys the corresponding window if the size is set to 0, and creates the window if the size is set to non-zero. This function can only be used for the "border windows," it doesn't work with Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET, Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_TEXT, or Gtk::TEXT_WINDOW_PRIVATE.

  overwrite | `true` to turn on overwrite mode, `false` to turn it off.

void Gtk::TextView::set_pixels_above_lines | ( | int | pixels_above_lines | ) |

Sets the default number of blank pixels above paragraphs in text_view.

Tags in the buffer for text_view may override the defaults.

Parameters

  pixels_above_lines | Pixels above paragraphs.

void Gtk::TextView::set_pixels_below_lines | ( | int | pixels_below_lines | ) |

Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to put below paragraphs in text_view.

May be overridden by tags applied to text_view's buffer.

Parameters

  pixels_below_lines | Pixels below paragraphs.

void Gtk::TextView::set_pixels_inside_wrap | ( | int | pixels_inside_wrap | ) |

Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to leave between display/wrapped lines within a paragraph.

May be overridden by tags in text_view's buffer.

Parameters

  pixels_inside_wrap | Default number of pixels between wrapped lines.

void Gtk::TextView::set_right_margin | ( | int | right_margin | ) |

Sets the default right margin for text in the text view.

Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Parameters

  right_margin | Right margin in pixels.

void Gtk::TextView::set_tabs | ( | Pango::TabArray & | tabs | ) |

Sets the default tab stops for paragraphs in text_view.

Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Parameters

  tabs | Tabs as a Pango::TabArray.

void Gtk::TextView::set_wrap_mode | ( | WrapMode | wrap_mode | ) |

Sets the line wrapping for the view.

Parameters

  wrap_mode | A Gtk::WrapMode.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,const Glib::ustring& > Gtk::TextView::signal_insert_at_cursor | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_insert_at_cursor(const Glib::ustring& str)`

The signal_insert_at_cursor() signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates the insertion of a fixed string at the cursor.

This signal has no default bindings.

Parameters

  string | The string to insert.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,Menu* > Gtk::TextView::signal_populate_popup | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_populate_popup(Menu* menu)`

The signal_populate_popup() signal gets emitted before showing the context menu of the text view.

If you need to add items to the context menu, connect to this signal and append your items to the popup, which will be a Gtk::Menu in this case.

If Gtk::Entry::signal_populate_toolbar() is `true`, this signal will also be emitted to populate touch popups. In this case, popup will be a different container, e.g. a Gtk::Toolbar.

The signal handler should not make assumptions about the type of widget, but check whether popup is a Gtk::Menu or Gtk::Toolbar or another kind of container.

Parameters

  popup | The container that is being populated.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::TextView::signal_set_anchor | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_set_anchor()`

The signal_set_anchor() signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates setting the "anchor" mark. The "anchor" mark gets placed at the same position as the "insert" mark.

This signal has no default bindings.

bool Gtk::TextView::starts_display_line | ( | const TextBuffer::iterator& | iter | ) |

Determines whether iter is at the start of a display line.

See forward_display_line() for an explanation of display lines vs. paragraphs.

Parameters

  iter | A Gtk::TextIter.

Returns
  `true` if iter begins a wrapped line.

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

Converts coordinates on the window identified by win to buffer coordinates, storing the result in ( buffer_x, buffer_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.
  window_x | Window x coordinate.
  window_y | Window y coordinate.
  buffer_x | Buffer x coordinate return location or `0`.
  buffer_y | Buffer y coordinate return location or `0`.
