NAME
Dt/Editor.h -- editor widget definitions
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h>
DESCRIPTION
The Dt/Editor.h header defines structures, enumerations and function prototypes for the Editor widget class.
The header defines the DtEditorDataFormat enumeration data type, with at least the following members:
DtEDITOR_TEXT
The data being transferred is a pointer to a NULL-terminated string of characters (a char *).
DtEDITOR_WCHAR
The data being transferred is a wide character string (a wchar_t *).
DtEDITOR_DATA
The data being transferred is a sized buffer (a DtEditor_DataObj).
The header defines the following structure:
typedef struct {
unsigned int length;
void *buf;
} DtEditor_DataObj;
The length argument is the size in bytes of the data buffer. The buf argument is a pointer to the data buffer.
The DtEditorContentRec structure is used to transfer data between an application and Editor widget. It indicates the type of data being
transferred along with the actual data.
typedef struct {
DtEditorDataFormat type;
union {
char *string;
wchar_t *wchar;
DtEditor_DataObj data;
} value;
} DtEditorContentRec;
The type argument indicates the type of data contained in the structure. The string argument points to a NULL-terminated string of charac-
ters. It is valid when type is DtEDITOR_TEXT. The wchar argument points to a wide character string. It is valid when type is DtEDI-
TOR_WCHAR. The data argument is a DtEditor_DataObj that contains the size of the data and a pointer to it. It is valid when type is DtEDI-
TOR_DATA.
The DtEditorChangeValues structure is used optionally to specify the string to search for and its replacement value for DtEditorChange(3).
typedef struct {
char *find,
char *changeTo,
} DtEditorChangeValues;
The find argument is a text string to locate in an DtEditor widget. The changeTo argument is the replacement string for the one or more
occurrences of the string specified in find. It can be NULL.
The DtEditorFormatSettings structure is used to optionally specify the left margin setting, right margin setting, and alignment style for
DtEditorFormat(3).
typedef struct {
int leftMargin,
int rightMargin,
unsigned int alignment,
} DtEditorFormatSettings;
The leftMargin argument is the column number of the left boundary when formatting text. Text is not extended to the left of this column.
It must be non-negative. The rightMargin argument is the column number of the right boundary when formatting text. Text is not extended
to the right of this column. It must be larger than leftMargin. The alignment argument specifies the style of alignment when formatting
text (see the constants listed in this header).
The header declares the following variable:
WidgetClass dtEditorWidgetClass;
The header defines the following constants for use with the DtEditorChange(3) function:
DtEDITOR_ALL_OCCURRENCES
Change all instances of the find string.
DtEDITOR_CURRENT_SELECTION
Replace the currently selected text with the replacement string.
DtEDITOR_NEXT_OCCURRENCE
Change the next occurrence of the find string after the insertion cursor.
The header defines the following constants for use with the DtEditorFormat(3) function:
DtEDITOR_FORMAT_ALL
Reformats all the text in a DtEditor.
DtEDITOR_FORMAT_PARAGRAPH
Reformats only the paragraph containing the insertion cursor.
DtEDITOR_ALIGN_CENTER
Centers each line of text between the left and right margins.
DtEDITOR_ALIGN_JUSTIFY
Aligns the text flush with both the left and right margins.
DtEDITOR_ALIGN_LEFT
Aligns the text flush with the left margin.
DtEDITOR_ALIGN_RIGHT
Aligns the text flush with the right margin.
The header defines the following constant for use with the DtEditorGoToLine(3) function:
DtEDITOR_LAST_LINE
Moves the cursor to the beginning of the last line in the widget.
The header defines the following DtEditorErrorCode constants:
DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS
The function completed its task without errors.
DtEDITOR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
Not enough system memory is available to complete the task.
DtEDITOR_INVALID_TYPE
The specified type is not a recognized DtEditorDataFormat when setting or retrieving contents or the specified Alignment type is
not recognized when formatting text.
DtEDITOR_INVALID_RANGE
The starting character position in a text replacement is greater than the ending character position or the specified Amount To
Format when formatting text is not recognized.
DtEDITOR_NULL_ITEM
The data buffer is NULL when passing data in a buffer.
DtEDITOR_ILLEGAL_SIZE
The specified size of a data buffer is negative when passing data in a buffer, or the left and right margin values are illegal
when formatting text.
DtEDITOR_SPELL_FILTER_FAILED
The DtEditor function cannot successfully execute the filter specified by the DtNspellFilter resource.
DtEDITOR_NO_TMP_FILE
The DtEditor function cannot create a temporary file in the directory returned by tmpnam3S.
DtEDITOR_INVALID_FILENAME
No file was specified.
DtEDITOR_NONEXISTENT_FILE
The file specified for reading does not exist.
DtEDITOR_UNREADABLE_FILE
The file specified is unreadable for an unspecified reason.
DtEDITOR_READ_ONLY_FILE
The file is read only.
DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED
The file contained embedded NULL characters, which were removed.
DtEDITOR_NO_FILE_ACCESS
The file cannot be accessed.
DtEDITOR_DIRECTORY
The file specified is a directory.
DtEDITOR_CHAR_SPECIAL_FILE
The file specified is a character-special device.
DtEDITOR_BLOCK_MODE_FILE
The file specified is a block-mode device.
DtEDITOR_UNWRITABLE_FILE
The application does not have write permission for the file or directory.
DtEDITOR_WRITABLE_FILE
The specified file exists and the overwriteIfExists flag is set to False.
DtEDITOR_SAVE_FAILED
The contents of the widget could not be saved for an unspecified reason.
The header defines the following enumeration values as reasons for the DtNtextSelectCallback:
DtEDITOR_TEXT_SELECT
Some text has been selected within the edit window (that is, the selection has become non- NULL).
DtEDITOR_TEXT_DESELECT
No text is selected within the edit window (that is, the selection has become NULL).
