wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl

A wxWidgets implementation of the Scintilla source code editing component.

As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips.

The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts.

wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl is a 1 to 1 mapping of “raw” scintilla interface, whose documentation can be found in the Scintilla website (http://www.scintilla.org/).

AutoComplete (self, completer)

Enable auto-completion using the provided completer object.

This method should be used instead of AutoComplete overload taking the array of possible completions if the total number of strings is too big as it allows to return the completions dynamically, depending on the text already entered by user and so is more efficient.

The specified completer object will be used to retrieve the list of possible completions for the already entered text and will be deleted by wx.TextEntry itself when it’s not needed any longer.

Notice that you need to include /textcompleter.h in order to define your class inheriting from wx.TextCompleter.

Currently this method is only implemented in wxMSW and OSX/Cocoa (for wx.TextCtrl only, but not for wx.ComboBox).

Parameters:completer (wx.TextCompleter) – The object to be used for generating completions if not None. If it is None, auto-completion is disabled. The wx.TextEntry object takes ownership of this pointer and will delete it in any case (i.e. even if this method returns False). Return type:bool Returns:True if the auto-completion was enabled or False if the operation failed, typically because auto-completion is not supported by the current platform.

New in version 2.9.2.

AutoCompleteDirectories(self)

Call this function to enable auto-completion of the text using the file system directories.

Notice that currently this function is only implemented in wxMSW port and does nothing under the other platforms.

Return type:bool Returns:True if the auto-completion was enabled or False if the operation failed, typically because auto-completion is not supported by the current platform.

New in version 2.9.3.

AutoCompleteFileNames(self)

GetInsertionPoint(self)

Returns the insertion point, or cursor, position.

This is defined as the zero based index of the character position to the right of the insertion point. For example, if the insertion point is at the end of the single-line text control, it is equal to GetLastPosition .

Notice that insertion position is, in general, different from the index of the character the cursor position at in the string returned by GetValue . While this is always the case for the single line controls, multi-line controls can use two characters "\\r\\n" as line separator (this is notably the case under MSW) meaning that indices in the control and its string value are offset by 1 for every line.

Hence to correctly get the character at the current cursor position, taking into account that there can be none if the cursor is at the end of the string, you could do the following:

def GetCurrentChar(self, text_ctrl):

    pos = text_ctrl.GetInsertionPoint()
    if pos == text_ctrl.GetLastPosition():
        return ''

    return text_ctrl.GetRange(pos, pos + 1)

SetHint(self, hint)

Sets a hint shown in an empty unfocused text control.

The hints are usually used to indicate to the user what is supposed to be entered into the given entry field, e.g. a common use of them is to show an explanation of what can be entered in a wx.SearchCtrl.

The hint is shown (usually greyed out) for an empty control until it gets focus and is shown again if the control loses it and remains empty. It won’t be shown once the control has a non-empty value, although it will be shown again if the control contents is cleared. Because of this, it generally only makes sense to use hints with the controls which are initially empty.

Notice that hints are known as cue banners under MSW or placeholder strings under OS X.

Parameters:hint (string) – Return type:bool

New in version 2.9.0.

Note

For the platforms without native hints support (and currently only the MSW port does have it and even there it is only used under Windows Vista and later only), the implementation has several known limitations. Notably, the hint display will not be properly updated if you change wx.TextEntry contents programmatically when the hint is displayed using methods other than SetValue or ChangeValue or others which use them internally (e.g. Clear ). In other words, currently you should avoid calling methods such as WriteText or Replace when using hints and the text control is empty.

Note

Hints can only be used for single line text controls, native multi-line text controls don’t support hints under any platform and hence wxWidgets doesn’t provide them neither.

This function sets the maximum number of characters the user can enter into the control.

If the user tries to enter more characters into the text control when it already is filled up to the maximal length, a wxEVT_TEXT_MAXLEN event is sent to notify the program about it (giving it the possibility to show an explanatory message, for example) and the extra input is discarded.

Note that in wxGTK this function may only be used with single line text controls.
