A text-edit-pane
that will
automatically link up with any rich-edit formatting controls that are
either on the same parent or on a toolbar of the parent. This is the
class of widget-windows that are instantiated whenever a rich-edit
is added to
a window. Probably not of concern to applications unless it needs to
intercept low-level window events of a rich-edit
subclass or otherwise add
methods to the widget-window of a rich-edit
. See os-widget-window
.
The character index at a specific position is returned by character-index-at-position and the location of that character (given the index) is returned by position-of-character-index.
See cg-rich-text.htm for information about rich text editing in Common Graphics.
A diagram of window and widget classes is shown in Widget and window classes in cgide.htm.
Formated editable text is not yet implemented on the GTK platform. It appears feasible to implement functions such as set-character-format and set-paragraph-format that modify the text formatting of an edit control, but not to implement functions such as rich-text and rich-edit-range that handle actual rich text strings.
Attempting to create a rich-edit
widget or a rich-edit-pane
window currently will error on
GTK.
