using System;

class TextViewSample
{
	static void Main ()
	{
		new TextViewSample ();
	}

	TextViewSample ()
	{
		Application.Init ();
		Window win = new Window ("TextViewSample");
		win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (OnWinDelete);
		win.SetDefaultSize (600,400);
		
		Gtk.TextView view;
		Gtk.TextBuffer buffer;

		view = new Gtk.TextView ();
		buffer = view.Buffer;

		buffer.Text = "Hello, this is some text";

		win.Add (view);
		win.ShowAll ();

Now you might put the view in a container and display it on the screen; when the user edits the text, events on the buffer will be emitted, such as , , and so on. Constructor

Creates a new TextView

If you don't set the before using the text view, an empty default buffer will be created for you. If you want to specify your own buffer, use . Constructor the buffer to be displayed

Creates a new TextView displaying a specified buffer.

Creates a new widget displaying the buffer. One buffer can be shared among many widgets. Constructor Pointer to the C object.

Internal constructor

This is an internal constructor, and should not be used by user code. Property GLib.Property("accepts-tab") System.Boolean

Whether Tab will result in a tab character being entered.

a Defaults to true. Method System.Void any a in the current

Adds a child widget in the text buffer, at the given anchor

Method System.Void a a a a

Adds a child at fixed coordinates in one of the text widget's windows.

The window must have non-zero size (see ). Note that the child coordinates are given relative to the 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 will need to compute the child's correct position in buffer coordinates any time scrolling occurs or buffer changes occur, and then call to update the child's position. Unfortunately there is no good way to detect that scrolling has occurred, using the current API; a possible hack would be to update all child positions when the scroll adjustments change or the text buffer changes. See bug 64518 on bugzilla.gnome.org for status of fixing this issue. Event GLib.Signal("backspace") System.EventHandler

Moves the given iter backward by one display (wrapped) line

if was moved and is not on the end iterator 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 .

if was moved and is not on the end iterator 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 .

Converts specified buffer coordinates to coordinates for window

Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see . Event GLib.Signal("copy-clipboard") System.EventHandler

Raised when text is copied to the clipboard.

Property GLib.Property("cursor-visible") System.Boolean

Whether the insertion point is displayed

whether the insertion point is visible Defaults to true. Event GLib.Signal("cut-clipboard") System.EventHandler

Raised whenever a selection is cut to the clipboard.

Property Gtk.TextAttributes

The default text attributes

a s 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 in order to get the attributes in effect at a given text position. The return valuea is a copy owned by the caller of this function, and should be freed. Event GLib.Signal("delete-from-cursor") Gtk.DeleteFromCursorHandler

Raised when text is deleted from the cursor (usually by hitting Backspace or Delete).

Property GLib.Property("editable") System.Boolean

Whether the text can be modified by the user

Whether or not the text can be edited by the user. Defaults to true. Method System.Boolean the given

if was moved and is not on the end iterator 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 .

Move the iterator a given number of characters visually, treating it as the strong cursor position

if iter moved and is not on the end iterator 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 bidirection 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.
