Memory-managed wrapper type.

Type class for types which can be safely cast to TextView, for instance with toTextView.

Cast to TextView, for types for which this is known to be safe. For general casts, use castTo.

A convenience alias for Nothing :: Maybe TextView.

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

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

The window must have nonzero size (see textViewSetBorderWindowSize). Note that the child coordinates are given relative 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) it will move with the scrolling as needed.

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 TextBuffer.

Moves the given iter backward to the next display line start. 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 TextBuffer.

Converts coordinate (bufferX, bufferY) to coordinates for the window win, and stores the result in (windowX, windowY).

Note that you can’t convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see textViewSetBorderWindowSize).

Moves the given iter forward 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 TextBuffer.

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 TextBuffer.

Returns whether pressing the Tab key inserts a tab characters. textViewSetAcceptsTab.

Since: 2.4

Gets the width of the specified border window. See textViewSetBorderWindowSize.

Gets the bottom margin for text in the textView.

Since: 3.18

Returns the TextBuffer being displayed by this text view. The reference count on the buffer is not incremented; the caller of this function won’t own a new reference.

Given an iter within a text layout, determine the positions of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at that iterator. The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted.

If iter is Nothing, the actual cursor position is used.

Note that if iter happens to be the actual cursor position, and there is currently an IM preedit sequence being entered, the returned locations will be adjusted to account for the preedit cursor’s offset within the preedit sequence.

The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use textViewBufferToWindowCoords to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Since: 3.0

Find out whether the cursor should be displayed.

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 textIterGetAttributes in order to get the attributes in effect at a given text position.

The return value is a copy owned by the caller of this function, and should be freed with textAttributesUnref.

Returns the default editability of the TextView. Tags in the buffer may override this setting for some ranges of text.

Gets the horizontal-scrolling Adjustment.

Since: 2.22

Gets the default indentation of paragraphs in textView. Tags in the view’s buffer may override the default. The indentation may be negative.

Gets the value of the TextView:input-hints property.

Since: 3.6

Gets the value of the TextView:input-purpose property.

Since: 3.6

Retrieves the iterator at buffer coordinates x and y. Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y. Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Note that this is different from textViewGetIterAtLocation, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.

Since: 2.6

Gets a rectangle which roughly contains the character at iter. The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use textViewBufferToWindowCoords to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Gets the default justification of paragraphs in textView. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Gets the default left margin size of paragraphs in the textView. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Gets the TextIter at the start of the line containing the coordinate y. y is in buffer coordinates, convert from window coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords. If non-Nothing, lineTop will be filled with the coordinate of the top edge of the line.

Gets the y coordinate of the top of the line containing iter, and the height of the line. The coordinate is a buffer coordinate; convert to window coordinates with textViewBufferToWindowCoords.

Gets the value of the TextView:monospace property.

Since: 3.16

Returns whether the TextView is in overwrite mode or not.

Since: 2.4

Gets the default number of pixels to put above paragraphs. Adding this function with textViewGetPixelsBelowLines is equal to the line space between each paragraph.

Gets the value set by textViewSetPixelsBelowLines.

The line space is the sum of the value returned by this function and the value returned by textViewGetPixelsAboveLines.

Gets the value set by textViewSetPixelsInsideWrap.

Gets the default right margin for text in textView. Tags in the buffer may override the default.

Gets the default tabs for textView. Tags in the buffer may override the defaults. The returned array will be Nothing if “standard” (8-space) tabs are used. Free the return value with tabArrayFree.

Gets the top margin for text in the textView.

Since: 3.18

Gets the vertical-scrolling Adjustment.

Since: 2.22

Fills visibleRect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in buffer coordinates. Convert to window coordinates with textViewBufferToWindowCoords.

Retrieves the Window corresponding to an area of the text view; possible windows include the overall widget window, child windows on the left, right, top, bottom, and the window that displays the text buffer. Windows are Nothing and nonexistent if their width or height is 0, and are nonexistent before the widget has been realized.

Usually used to find out which window an event corresponds to.

If you connect to an event signal on textView, this function should be called on event->window to see which window it was.

Gets the line wrapping for the view.

Allow the TextView input method to internally handle key press and release events. If this function returns True, then no further processing should be done for this key event. See iMContextFilterKeypress.

Note that you are expected to call this function from your handler when overriding key event handling. This is needed in the case when you need to insert your own key handling between the input method and the default key event handling of the TextView.

C code

static gboolean
gtk_foo_bar_key_press_event (GtkWidget   *widget,
                             GdkEventKey *event)
{
  guint keyval;

  gdk_event_get_keyval ((GdkEvent*)event, &keyval);

  if (keyval == GDK_KEY_Return || keyval == GDK_KEY_KP_Enter)
    {
      if (gtk_text_view_im_context_filter_keypress (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (widget), event))
        return TRUE;
    }

  // Do some stuff

  return GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (gtk_foo_bar_parent_class)->key_press_event (widget, event);
}

Since: 2.22

Updates the position of a child, as for textViewAddChildInWindow.

Moves a mark within the buffer so that it's located within the currently-visible text area.

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 bi-directional 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.

Creates a new TextView. If you don’t call textViewSetBuffer before using the text view, an empty default buffer will be created for you. Get the buffer with textViewGetBuffer. If you want to specify your own buffer, consider textViewNewWithBuffer.

Creates a new TextView widget displaying the buffer buffer. One buffer can be shared among many widgets. buffer may be Nothing to create a default buffer, in which case this function is equivalent to textViewNew. The text view adds its own reference count to the buffer; it does not take over an existing reference.

Moves the cursor to the currently visible region of the buffer, it it isn’t there already.

Ensures that the cursor is shown (i.e. not in an 'off' blink interval) and resets the time that it will stay blinking (or visible, in case blinking is disabled).

This function should be called in response to user input (e.g. from derived classes that override the textview's Widget::key-press-event handler).

Since: 3.20

Reset the input method context of the text view if needed.

This can be necessary in the case where modifying the buffer would confuse on-going input method behavior.

Since: 2.22

Scrolls textView the minimum distance such that mark is contained within the visible area of the widget.

Scrolls textView so that iter is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign. An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If useAlign is False, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

Note that this function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. Line heights are computed in an idle handler; so this function may not have the desired effect if it’s called before the height computations. To avoid oddness, consider using textViewScrollToMark which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.

Scrolls textView so that mark is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign. An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If useAlign is False, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

Sets the behavior of the text widget when the Tab key is pressed. If acceptsTab is True, a tab character is inserted. If acceptsTab is False the keyboard focus is moved to the next widget in the focus chain.

Since: 2.4

Sets the width of TextWindowTypeLeft or TextWindowTypeRight, or the height of TextWindowTypeTop or TextWindowTypeBottom. Automatically destroys the corresponding window if the size is set to 0, and creates the window if the size is set to non-zero. This function can only be used for the “border windows”, and it won’t work with TextWindowTypeWidget, TextWindowTypeText, or TextWindowTypePrivate.

Sets the bottom margin for text in textView.

Note that this function is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding.

Since: 3.18

Sets buffer as the buffer being displayed by textView. The previous buffer displayed by the text view is unreferenced, and a reference is added to buffer. If you owned a reference to buffer before passing it to this function, you must remove that reference yourself; TextView will not “adopt” it.

Toggles whether the insertion point should be displayed. A buffer with no editable text probably shouldn’t have a visible cursor, so you may want to turn the cursor off.

Note that this property may be overridden by the Settings:gtk-keynave-use-caret settings.

Sets the default editability of the TextView. You can override this default setting with tags in the buffer, using the “editable” attribute of tags.
