Detailed Description

An abstract base class which can be implemented by components that function as text editors.

This class allows different types of text editor component to provide a uniform interface, which can be used by things like OS-specific input methods, on-screen keyboards, etc.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool TextInputTarget::isTextInputActive ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if this input target is currently accepting input.

For example, a text editor might return false if it's in read-only mode.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual Range<int> TextInputTarget::getHighlightedRegion ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the extents of the selected text region, or an empty range if nothing is selected,.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual void TextInputTarget::setHighlightedRegion ( const Range< int > &  newRange )

pure virtual

Sets the currently-selected text region.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual void TextInputTarget::setTemporaryUnderlining ( const Array< Range< int > > &  underlinedRegions )

pure virtual

Sets a number of temporarily underlined sections.

This is needed by MS Windows input method UI.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual String TextInputTarget::getTextInRange ( const Range< int > &  range ) const

pure virtual

Returns a specified sub-section of the text.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual void TextInputTarget::insertTextAtCaret ( const String &  textToInsert )

pure virtual

Inserts some text, overwriting the selected text region, if there is one.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.

virtual Rectangle<int> TextInputTarget::getCaretRectangle ( )

pure virtual

Returns the position of the caret, relative to the component's origin.

Implemented in TextEditor, and CodeEditorComponent.
