Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ColourIds

A set of colour IDs to use to change the colour of various aspects of the editor.

These constants can be used either via the Component::setColour(), or LookAndFeel::setColour() methods.

NB: You can also set the caret colour using CaretComponent::caretColourId

See also
Component::setColour, Component::findColour, LookAndFeel::setColour, LookAndFeel::findColour
Enumerator
backgroundColourId 

The colour to use for the text component's background - this can be transparent if necessary.

textColourId 

The colour that will be used when text is added to the editor.

Note that because the editor can contain multiple colours, calling this method won't change the colour of existing text - to do that, use the applyColourToAllText() method

highlightColourId 

The colour with which to fill the background of highlighted sections of the text - this can be transparent if you don't want to show any highlighting.

highlightedTextColourId 

The colour with which to draw the text in highlighted sections.

outlineColourId 

If this is non-transparent, it will be used to draw a box around the edge of the component.

focusedOutlineColourId 

If this is non-transparent, it will be used to draw a box around the edge of the component when it has focus.

shadowColourId 

If this is non-transparent, it'll be used to draw an inner shadow around the edge of the editor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TextEditor()

TextEditor::TextEditor ( const String componentName = String(),
juce_wchar  passwordCharacter = 0 
)
explicit

Creates a new, empty text editor.

Parameters
componentNamethe name to pass to the component for it to use as its name
passwordCharacterif this is not zero, this character will be used as a replacement for all characters that are drawn on screen - e.g. to create a password-style textbox containing circular blobs instead of text, you could set this value to 0x25cf, which is the unicode character for a black splodge (not all fonts include this, though), or 0x2022, which is a bullet (probably the best choice for linux).

◆ ~TextEditor()

TextEditor::~TextEditor ( )
override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setMultiLine()

void TextEditor::setMultiLine ( bool  shouldBeMultiLine,
bool  shouldWordWrap = true 
)

Puts the editor into either multi- or single-line mode.

By default, the editor will be in single-line mode, so use this if you need a multi-line editor.

See also the setReturnKeyStartsNewLine() method, which will also need to be turned on if you want a multi-line editor with line-breaks.

See also
isMultiLine, setReturnKeyStartsNewLine

◆ isMultiLine()

bool TextEditor::isMultiLine ( ) const

Returns true if the editor is in multi-line mode.

◆ setReturnKeyStartsNewLine()

void TextEditor::setReturnKeyStartsNewLine ( bool  shouldStartNewLine)

Changes the behaviour of the return key.

If set to true, the return key will insert a new-line into the text; if false it will trigger a call to the TextEditor::Listener::textEditorReturnKeyPressed() method. By default this is set to false, and when true it will only insert new-lines when in multi-line mode (see setMultiLine()).

◆ getReturnKeyStartsNewLine()

bool TextEditor::getReturnKeyStartsNewLine ( ) const

Returns the value set by setReturnKeyStartsNewLine().

See setReturnKeyStartsNewLine() for more info.

◆ setTabKeyUsedAsCharacter()

void TextEditor::setTabKeyUsedAsCharacter ( bool  shouldTabKeyBeUsed)

Indicates whether the tab key should be accepted and used to input a tab character, or whether it gets ignored.

By default the tab key is ignored, so that it can be used to switch keyboard focus between components.

◆ isTabKeyUsedAsCharacter()

bool TextEditor::isTabKeyUsedAsCharacter ( ) const

Returns true if the tab key is being used for input.

See also
setTabKeyUsedAsCharacter

◆ setEscapeAndReturnKeysConsumed()

void TextEditor::setEscapeAndReturnKeysConsumed ( bool  shouldBeConsumed)
noexcept

This can be used to change whether escape and return keypress events are propagated up to the parent component.

The default here is true, meaning that these events are not allowed to reach the parent, but you may want to allow them through so that they can trigger other actions, e.g. closing a dialog box, etc.

◆ setReadOnly()

void TextEditor::setReadOnly ( bool  shouldBeReadOnly)

Changes the editor to read-only mode.

By default, the text editor is not read-only. If you're making it read-only, you might also want to call setCaretVisible (false) to get rid of the caret.

The text can still be highlighted and copied when in read-only mode.

See also
isReadOnly, setCaretVisible

◆ isReadOnly()

bool TextEditor::isReadOnly ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the editor is in read-only mode.

◆ setCaretVisible()

void TextEditor::setCaretVisible ( bool  shouldBeVisible)

Makes the caret visible or invisible.

By default the caret is visible.

See also
setCaretColour, setCaretPosition

◆ isCaretVisible()

bool TextEditor::isCaretVisible ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the caret is enabled.

See also
setCaretVisible

◆ setScrollbarsShown()

void TextEditor::setScrollbarsShown ( bool  shouldBeEnabled)

Enables/disables a vertical scrollbar.

(This only applies when in multi-line mode). When the text gets too long to fit in the component, a scrollbar can appear to allow it to be scrolled. Even when this is enabled, the scrollbar will be hidden unless it's needed.

By default the scrollbar is enabled.

◆ areScrollbarsShown()

bool TextEditor::areScrollbarsShown ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if scrollbars are enabled.

See also
setScrollbarsShown

◆ setPasswordCharacter()

void TextEditor::setPasswordCharacter ( juce_wchar  passwordCharacter)

Changes the password character used to disguise the text.

Parameters
passwordCharacterif this is not zero, this character will be used as a replacement for all characters that are drawn on screen - e.g. to create a password-style textbox containing circular blobs instead of text, you could set this value to 0x25cf, which is the unicode character for a black splodge (not all fonts include this, though), or 0x2022, which is a bullet (probably the best choice for linux).

◆ getPasswordCharacter()

juce_wchar TextEditor::getPasswordCharacter ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current password character.

See also
setPasswordCharacter

◆ setPopupMenuEnabled()

void TextEditor::setPopupMenuEnabled ( bool  menuEnabled)

Allows a right-click menu to appear for the editor.

(This defaults to being enabled).

If enabled, right-clicking (or command-clicking on the Mac) will pop up a menu of options such as cut/copy/paste, undo/redo, etc.

◆ isPopupMenuEnabled()

bool TextEditor::isPopupMenuEnabled ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the right-click menu is enabled.

See also
setPopupMenuEnabled

◆ isPopupMenuCurrentlyActive()

bool TextEditor::isPopupMenuCurrentlyActive ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if a popup-menu is currently being displayed.

◆ setFont()

void TextEditor::setFont ( const Font newFont)

Sets the font to use for newly added text.

This will change the font that will be used next time any text is added or entered into the editor. It won't change the font of any existing text - to do that, use applyFontToAllText() instead.

See also
applyFontToAllText

Referenced by Label::getTextValue().

◆ applyFontToAllText()

void TextEditor::applyFontToAllText ( const Font newFont,
bool  changeCurrentFont = true 
)

Applies a font to all the text in the editor.

If the changeCurrentFont argument is true then this will also set the new font as the font to be used for any new text that's added.

See also
setFont

◆ getFont()

const Font& TextEditor::getFont ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the font that's currently being used for new text.

See also
setFont

Referenced by Label::getTextValue().

◆ applyColourToAllText()

void TextEditor::applyColourToAllText ( const Colour newColour,
bool  changeCurrentTextColour = true 
)

Applies a colour to all the text in the editor.

If the changeCurrentTextColour argument is true then this will also set the new colour as the colour to be used for any new text that's added.

◆ setSelectAllWhenFocused()

void TextEditor::setSelectAllWhenFocused ( bool  shouldSelectAll)

If set to true, focusing on the editor will highlight all its text.

(Set to false by default).

This is useful for boxes where you expect the user to re-enter all the text when they focus on the component, rather than editing what's already there.

◆ setTextToShowWhenEmpty()

void TextEditor::setTextToShowWhenEmpty ( const String text,
Colour  colourToUse 
)

When the text editor is empty, it can be set to display a message.

This is handy for things like telling the user what to type in the box - the string is only displayed, it's not taken to actually be the contents of the editor.

◆ getTextToShowWhenEmpty()

String TextEditor::getTextToShowWhenEmpty ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the text that will be shown when the text editor is empty.

See also
setTextToShowWhenEmpty

◆ setScrollBarThickness()

void TextEditor::setScrollBarThickness ( int  newThicknessPixels)

Changes the size of the scrollbars that are used.

Handy if you need smaller scrollbars for a small text box.

◆ addListener()

void TextEditor::addListener ( Listener newListener)

Registers a listener to be told when things happen to the text.

See also
removeListener

◆ removeListener()

void TextEditor::removeListener ( Listener listenerToRemove)

Deregisters a listener.

See also
addListener

◆ getText()

String TextEditor::getText ( ) const

Returns the entire contents of the editor.

◆ getTextInRange()

String TextEditor::getTextInRange ( const Range< int > &  textRange) const
overridevirtual

Returns a section of the contents of the editor.

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ isEmpty()

bool TextEditor::isEmpty ( ) const

Returns true if there are no characters in the editor.

This is far more efficient than calling getText().isEmpty().

◆ setText()

void TextEditor::setText ( const String newText,
bool  sendTextChangeMessage = true 
)

Sets the entire content of the editor.

This will clear the editor and insert the given text (using the current text colour and font). You can set the current text colour using

Parameters
newTextthe text to add
sendTextChangeMessageif true, this will cause a change message to be sent to all the listeners.
See also
insertTextAtCaret

◆ getTextValue()

Value& TextEditor::getTextValue ( )

Returns a Value object that can be used to get or set the text.

Bear in mind that this operate quite slowly if your text box contains large amounts of text, as it needs to dynamically build the string that's involved. It's best used for small text boxes.

◆ insertTextAtCaret()

void TextEditor::insertTextAtCaret ( const String textToInsert)
overridevirtual

Inserts some text at the current caret position.

If a section of the text is highlighted, it will be replaced by this string, otherwise it will be inserted.

To delete a section of text, you can use setHighlightedRegion() to highlight it, and call insertTextAtCaret (String()).

See also
setCaretPosition, getCaretPosition, setHighlightedRegion

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ clear()

void TextEditor::clear ( )

Deletes all the text from the editor.

◆ cut()

void TextEditor::cut ( )

Deletes the currently selected region.

This doesn't copy the deleted section to the clipboard - if you need to do that, call copy() first.

See also
copy, paste, SystemClipboard

◆ copy()

void TextEditor::copy ( )

Copies the currently selected region to the clipboard.

See also
cut, paste, SystemClipboard

◆ paste()

void TextEditor::paste ( )

Pastes the contents of the clipboard into the editor at the caret position.

See also
cut, copy, SystemClipboard

◆ getCaretPosition()

int TextEditor::getCaretPosition ( ) const

Returns the current index of the caret.

See also
setCaretPosition

◆ setCaretPosition()

void TextEditor::setCaretPosition ( int  newIndex)

Moves the caret to be in front of a given character.

See also
getCaretPosition, moveCaretToEnd

◆ scrollEditorToPositionCaret()

void TextEditor::scrollEditorToPositionCaret ( int  desiredCaretX,
int  desiredCaretY 
)

Attempts to scroll the text editor so that the caret ends up at a specified position.

This won't affect the caret's position within the text, it tries to scroll the entire editor vertically and horizontally so that the caret is sitting at the given position (relative to the top-left of this component).

Depending on the amount of text available, it might not be possible to scroll far enough for the caret to reach this exact position, but it will go as far as it can in that direction.

◆ getCaretRectangle()

Rectangle<int> TextEditor::getCaretRectangle ( )
overridevirtual

Get the graphical position of the caret.

The rectangle returned is relative to the component's top-left corner.

See also
scrollEditorToPositionCaret

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ setHighlightedRegion()

void TextEditor::setHighlightedRegion ( const Range< int > &  newSelection)
overridevirtual

Selects a section of the text.

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ getHighlightedRegion()

Range<int> TextEditor::getHighlightedRegion ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the range of characters that are selected.

If nothing is selected, this will return an empty range.

See also
setHighlightedRegion

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ getHighlightedText()

String TextEditor::getHighlightedText ( ) const

Returns the section of text that is currently selected.

◆ getTextIndexAt()

int TextEditor::getTextIndexAt ( int  x,
int  y 
)

Finds the index of the character at a given position.

The coordinates are relative to the component's top-left.

◆ getTotalNumChars()

int TextEditor::getTotalNumChars ( ) const

Counts the number of characters in the text.

This is quicker than getting the text as a string if you just need to know the length.

◆ getTextWidth()

int TextEditor::getTextWidth ( ) const

Returns the total width of the text, as it is currently laid-out.

This may be larger than the size of the TextEditor, and can change when the TextEditor is resized or the text changes.

◆ getTextHeight()

int TextEditor::getTextHeight ( ) const

Returns the maximum height of the text, as it is currently laid-out.

This may be larger than the size of the TextEditor, and can change when the TextEditor is resized or the text changes.

◆ setIndents()

void TextEditor::setIndents ( int  newLeftIndent,
int  newTopIndent 
)

Changes the size of the gap at the top and left-edge of the editor.

By default there's a gap of 4 pixels.

◆ setBorder()

void TextEditor::setBorder ( BorderSize< int border)

Changes the size of border left around the edge of the component.

See also
getBorder

◆ getBorder()

BorderSize<int> TextEditor::getBorder ( ) const

If true (the default), the editor will scroll when the caret moves offscreen. If set to false, it won't.

◆ setJustification()

void TextEditor::setJustification ( Justification  newJustification)

Modifies the horizontal justification of the text within the editor window.

◆ setLineSpacing()

void TextEditor::setLineSpacing ( float  newLineSpacing)
noexcept

Sets the line spacing of the TextEditor.

The default (and minimum) value is 1.0 and values > 1.0 will increase the line spacing as a multiple of the line height e.g. for double-spacing call this method with an argument of 2.0.

References jmax().

◆ addPopupMenuItems()

virtual void TextEditor::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.

The default menu items will be added using item IDs from the StandardApplicationCommandIDs namespace.

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 TextEditor::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

◆ setInputFilter()

void TextEditor::setInputFilter ( InputFilter newFilter,
bool  takeOwnership 
)

Sets an input filter that should be applied to this editor.

The filter can be nullptr, to remove any existing filters. If takeOwnership is true, then the filter will be owned and deleted by the editor when no longer needed.

◆ getInputFilter()

InputFilter* TextEditor::getInputFilter ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current InputFilter, as set by setInputFilter().

References setInputRestrictions().

◆ setInputRestrictions()

void TextEditor::setInputRestrictions ( int  maxTextLength,
const String allowedCharacters = String() 
)

Sets limits on the characters that can be entered.

This is just a shortcut that passes an instance of the LengthAndCharacterRestriction class to setInputFilter().

Parameters
maxTextLengthif this is > 0, it sets a maximum length limit; if 0, no limit is set
allowedCharactersif this is non-empty, then only characters that occur in this string are allowed to be entered into the editor.
