Detailed Description

You may wish to begin by reading the text widget conceptual overview which gives an overview of all the objects and data types related to the text widget and how they work together.

Structures

Convenient Construction

gtkTextBuffer is the equivalent of gtkTextBufferNew.

Enums and Flags

User Functions

GtkTextBufferDeserializeFunc(register.buffer, content.buffer, iter, data, length, create.tags, user.data, error)
A function that is called to deserialize rich text that has been serialized with gtkTextBufferSerialize, and insert it at iter.
register.buffer
the GtkTextBuffer the format is registered with
content.buffer
the GtkTextBuffer to deserialize into
iter
insertion point for the deserialized text
data
data to deserialize
length
length of data
create.tags
TRUE if deserializing may create tags
user.data
user data that was specified when registering the format
error
return location for a GError
Returns: [logical] TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise
GtkTextBufferSerializeFunc(register.buffer, content.buffer, start, end, length, user.data)
A function that is called to serialize the content of a text buffer. It must return the serialized form of the content.
register.buffer
the GtkTextBuffer for which the format is registered
content.buffer
the GtkTextsBuffer to serialize
start
start of the block of text to serialize
end
end of the block of text to serialize
length
Return location for the length of the serialized data
user.data
user data that was specified when registering the format
Returns: [raw] a newly-allocated list of guint8 which contains the serialized data, or NULL if an error occurred

Signals

apply-tag(textbuffer, tag, start, end, user.data)
The ::apply-tag signal is emitted to apply a tag to a range of text in a GtkTextBuffer. Applying actually occurs in the default handler. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the start and end iters (or has to revalidate them). See also: gtkTextBufferApplyTag, gtkTextBufferInsertWithTags, gtkTextBufferInsertRange.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
tag
the applied tag
start
the start of the range the tag is applied to
end
the end of the range the tag is applied to
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
begin-user-action(textbuffer, user.data)
The ::begin-user-action signal is emitted at the beginning of a single user-visible operation on a GtkTextBuffer. See also: gtkTextBufferBeginUserAction, gtkTextBufferInsertInteractive, gtkTextBufferInsertRangeInteractive, gtkTextBufferDeleteInteractive, gtkTextBufferBackspace, gtkTextBufferDeleteSelection.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
changed(textbuffer, user.data)
The ::changed signal is emitted when the content of a GtkTextBuffer has changed.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
delete-range(textbuffer, start, end, user.data)
The ::delete-range signal is emitted to delete a range from a GtkTextBuffer. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the start and end iters (or has to revalidate them). The default signal handler revalidates the start and end iters to both point point to the location where text was deleted. Handlers which run after the default handler (see gSignalConnectAfter()) do not have access to the deleted text. See also: gtkTextBufferDelete.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
start
the start of the range to be deleted
end
the end of the range to be deleted
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
end-user-action(textbuffer, user.data)
The ::end-user-action signal is emitted at the end of a single user-visible operation on the GtkTextBuffer. See also: gtkTextBufferEndUserAction, gtkTextBufferInsertInteractive, gtkTextBufferInsertRangeInteractive, gtkTextBufferDeleteInteractive, gtkTextBufferBackspace, gtkTextBufferDeleteSelection, gtkTextBufferBackspace.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
insert-child-anchor(textbuffer, location, anchor, user.data)
The ::insert-child-anchor signal is emitted to insert a GtkTextChildAnchor in a GtkTextBuffer. Insertion actually occurs in the default handler. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the location iter (or has to revalidate it). The default signal handler revalidates it to be placed after the inserted anchor. See also: gtkTextBufferInsertChildAnchor.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
location
position to insert anchor in textbuffer
anchor
the GtkTextChildAnchor to be inserted
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
insert-pixbuf(textbuffer, location, pixbuf, user.data)
The ::insert-pixbuf signal is emitted to insert a GdkPixbuf in a GtkTextBuffer. Insertion actually occurs in the default handler. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the location iter (or has to revalidate it). The default signal handler revalidates it to be placed after the inserted pixbuf. See also: gtkTextBufferInsertPixbuf.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
location
position to insert pixbuf in textbuffer
pixbuf
the GdkPixbuf to be inserted
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
insert-text(textbuffer, location, text, len, user.data)
The ::insert-text signal is emitted to insert text in a GtkTextBuffer. Insertion actually occurs in the default handler. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the location iter (or has to revalidate it). The default signal handler revalidates it to point to the end of the inserted text. See also: gtkTextBufferInsert, gtkTextBufferInsertRange.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
location
position to insert text in textbuffer
text
the UTF-8 text to be inserted
len
length of the inserted text in bytes
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
mark-deleted(textbuffer, mark, user.data)
The ::mark-deleted signal is emitted as notification after a GtkTextMark is deleted. See also: gtkTextBufferDeleteMark.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
mark
The mark that was deleted
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
mark-set(textbuffer, location, mark, user.data)
The ::mark-set signal is emitted as notification after a GtkTextMark is set. See also: gtkTextBufferCreateMark, gtkTextBufferMoveMark.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
location
The location of mark in textbuffer
mark
The mark that is set
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
modified-changed(textbuffer, user.data)
The ::modified-changed signal is emitted when the modified bit of a GtkTextBuffer flips. See also: gtkTextBufferSetModified.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
paste-done(textbuffer, user.data)
The paste-done signal is emitted after paste operation has been completed. This is useful to properly scroll the view to the end of the pasted text. See gtkTextBufferPasteClipboard for more details. Since 2.16
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
remove-tag(textbuffer, tag, start, end, user.data)
The ::remove-tag signal is emitted to remove all occurrences of tag from a range of text in a GtkTextBuffer. Removal actually occurs in the default handler. Note that if your handler runs before the default handler it must not invalidate the start and end iters (or has to revalidate them). See also: gtkTextBufferRemoveTag.
textbuffer
the object which received the signal
tag
the tag to be removed
start
the start of the range the tag is removed from
end
the end of the range the tag is removed from
user.data
user data set when the signal handler was connected.
