Returns a string containing spaces or tab characters to generate the given number of spaces.

◆ setFont()

Changes the font.

Make sure you only use a fixed-width font, or this component will look pretty nasty!

const Font& CodeEditorComponent::getFont ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the font that the editor is using.

void CodeEditorComponent::setReadOnly ( bool  shouldBeReadOnly)
noexcept

Makes the editor read-only.

Returns true if the editor is set to be read-only.

◆ setColourScheme()

void CodeEditorComponent::setColourScheme ( const ColourScheme scheme)

Changes the syntax highlighting scheme.

The token type values are dependent on the tokeniser being used - use CodeTokeniser::getTokenTypes() to get a list of the token types.

See also
getColourForTokenType

◆ getColourScheme()

const ColourScheme& CodeEditorComponent::getColourScheme ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current syntax highlighting colour scheme.

◆ getColourForTokenType()

Colour CodeEditorComponent::getColourForTokenType ( int  tokenType) const

Returns one the syntax highlighting colour for the given token.

The token type values are dependent on the tokeniser being used.

See also
setColourScheme

◆ retokenise()

void CodeEditorComponent::retokenise ( int  startIndex,
int  endIndex 
)

Rebuilds the syntax highlighting for a section of text.

This happens automatically any time the CodeDocument is edited, but this method lets you change text colours even when the CodeDocument hasn't changed.

For example, you could use this to highlight tokens as the cursor moves. To do so you'll need to tell your custom CodeTokeniser where the token you want to highlight is, and make it return a special type of token. Then you should call this method supplying the range of the highlighted text.

CodeTokeniser

◆ setScrollbarThickness()

void CodeEditorComponent::setScrollbarThickness ( int  thickness)

Changes the size of the scrollbars.

◆ getScrollbarThickness()

int CodeEditorComponent::getScrollbarThickness ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the thickness of the scrollbars.

References StandardApplicationCommandIDs::cut, and JUCE_DECLARE_NON_COPYABLE_WITH_LEAK_DETECTOR.

◆ handleReturnKey()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::handleReturnKey ( )
virtual

Called when the return key is pressed - this can be overridden for custom behaviour.

◆ handleTabKey()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::handleTabKey ( )
virtual

Called when the tab key is pressed - this can be overridden for custom behaviour.

◆ handleEscapeKey()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::handleEscapeKey ( )
virtual

Called when the escape key is pressed - this can be overridden for custom behaviour.

◆ editorViewportPositionChanged()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::editorViewportPositionChanged ( )
virtual

Called when the view position is scrolled horizontally or vertically.

◆ caretPositionMoved()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::caretPositionMoved ( )
virtual

Called when the caret position moves.

◆ addPopupMenuItems()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::addPopupMenuItems ( PopupMenu menuToAddTo,
const MouseEvent mouseClickEvent 
)
virtual

This adds the items to the popup menu.

By default it adds the cut/copy/paste items, but you can override this if you need to replace these with your own items.

If you want to add your own items to the existing ones, you can override this, call the base class's addPopupMenuItems() method, then append your own items.

When the menu has been shown, performPopupMenuAction() will be called to perform the item that the user has chosen.

If this was triggered by a mouse-click, the mouseClickEvent parameter will be a pointer to the info about it, or may be null if the menu is being triggered by some other means.

See also
performPopupMenuAction, setPopupMenuEnabled, isPopupMenuEnabled

◆ performPopupMenuAction()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::performPopupMenuAction ( int  menuItemID)
virtual

This is called to perform one of the items that was shown on the popup menu.

If you've overridden addPopupMenuItems(), you should also override this to perform the actions that you've added.

If you've overridden addPopupMenuItems() but have still left the default items on the menu, remember to call the superclass's performPopupMenuAction() so that it can perform the default actions if that's what the user clicked on.

See also
addPopupMenuItems, setPopupMenuEnabled, isPopupMenuEnabled

◆ setCommandManager()

void CodeEditorComponent::setCommandManager ( ApplicationCommandManager newManager)
noexcept

Specifies a command-manager which the editor will notify whenever the state of any of its commands changes.

If you're making use of the editor's ApplicationCommandTarget interface, then you should also use this to tell it which command manager it should use. Make sure that the manager does not go out of scope while the editor is using it. You can pass a nullptr here to disable this.
