## Detailed Description

Multi-line attributed text that can be displayed by one or more Gtk::TextView widgets.

Text in a buffer can be marked with tags. A Gtk::TextBuffer::Tag is an attribute that can be applied to some range of text. For example, a tag might be called "bold" and make the text inside the tag bold. However, the tag concept is more general than that; tags don't have to affect appearance. They can instead affect the behavior of mouse and key presses, "lock" a range of text so the user can't edit it, or countless other things. A tag is represented by a Gtk::TextBuffer::Tag object. One Gtk::TextBuffer::Tag can be applied to any number of text ranges in any number of Gtk::TextBuffers.

Each tag is stored in a Gtk::TextBuffer::TagTable. A tag table defines a set of tags that can be used together. Each buffer has one tag table associated with it; only tags from that tag table can be used with the buffer. A single tag table can be shared between multiple buffers, however.

Most text manipulation is accomplished with iterators, represented by an iterator. The iterator can be used to navigate over characters, words, lines, and sentences.

But iterators can't be used to preserve positions across buffer modifications. To preserve a position, the Gtk::TextBuffer::Mark object is ideal. There are two marks built-in to GtkTextBuffer; these are named "insert" and "selection_bound" and refer to the insertion point and the boundary of the selection which is not the insertion point. If no text is selected, these two marks will be in the same position. You can manipulate what is selected and where the cursor appears by moving these marks around.

Text buffers always contain at least one line, but may be empty (that is, buffers can contain zero characters). The last line in the text buffer never ends in a line separator (such as newline); the other lines in the buffer always end in a line separator. Line separators count as characters when computing character counts and character offsets. Note that some Unicode line separators are represented with multiple bytes in UTF-8, and the two-character sequence "\r\n" is also considered a line separator.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef TextChildAnchor Gtk::TextBuffer::ChildAnchor

typedef TextIter Gtk::TextBuffer::iterator

typedef TextMark Gtk::TextBuffer::Mark

typedef sigc::slot<bool, const Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer>&, iterator&, const guint8*, gsize, bool> Gtk::TextBuffer::SlotDeserialize

For instance,
bool on_deserialize(const Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer>& content_buffer, iterator& iter, const guint8* data, gsize length, bool create_tags);.

Parameters

  content_buffer | The TextBuffer to deserialize into. It may be different from the TextBuffer where the deserialize format is registered.
  iter | Insertion point for the deserialized text.
  data | Data to deserialize.
  length | Length of data.
  create_tags | `true` if deserializing may create tags.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` otherwise.

Exceptions

  Glib::Error | If the deserialize slot throws a Glib::Error or an object derived from Glib::Error, the exception will be propagated out from the calling deserialize() method.

typedef sigc::slot<guint8*, const Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer>&, const iterator&, const iterator&, gsize&> Gtk::TextBuffer::SlotSerialize

For instance,
guint8* on_serialize(const Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer>& content_buffer, const iterator& start, const iterator& end, gsize& length);.

Parameters

  | content_buffer | The TextBuffer to serialize. It may be different from the TextBuffer where the serialize format is registered.
  | start | Start of the block of text to serialize.
  | end | End of the block of text to serialize.
  [out] | length | The length of the serialized data.

Returns
  A newly-allocated array of guint8 which contains the serialized data, or `0` if an error occurred.

## Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::TextBuffer::add_mark | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer::Mark >& | mark,
|  | const iterator& | where
| ) |  |

Adds the mark at position where.

The mark must not be added to another buffer, and if its name is not `0` then there must not be another mark in the buffer with the same name.

Emits the Gtk::TextBuffer::signal_mark_set() signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters

  mark | The mark to add.
  where | Location to place mark.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::add_selection_clipboard | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Clipboard >& | clipboard | ) |

Adds clipboard to the list of clipboards in which the selection contents of buffer are available.

In most cases, clipboard will be the Gtk::Clipboard of type Gdk::SELECTION_PRIMARY for a view of buffer.

Parameters

  clipboard | A Gtk::Clipboard.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::apply_tag | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Tag >& | tag,
|  | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end
| ) |  |

Emits the “apply-tag” signal on buffer.

The default handler for the signal applies tag to the given range. start and end do not have to be in order.

Parameters

  tag | A Gtk::TextTag.
  start | One bound of range to be tagged.
  end | Other bound of range to be tagged.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::apply_tag_by_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end
| ) |  |

Calls Gtk::TextTagTable::lookup() on the buffer’s tag table to get a Gtk::TextTag, then calls apply_tag().

Parameters

  name | Name of a named Gtk::TextTag.
  start | One bound of range to be tagged.
  end | Other bound of range to be tagged.

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::backspace | ( | const iterator& | iter,
|  | bool | interactive = `true`,
|  | bool | default_editable = `true`
| ) |  |

Performs the appropriate action as if the user hit the delete key with the cursor at the position specified by iter.

In the normal case a single character will be deleted, but when combining accents are involved, more than one character can be deleted, and when precomposed character and accent combinations are involved, less than one character will be deleted.

Because the buffer is modified, all outstanding iterators become invalid after calling this method; however, this method returns a valid iterator that points to the location where text was deleted.

Parameters

  iter | A position in the buffer.
  interactive | Whether the deletion is caused by user interaction.
  default_editable | Whether the buffer is editable by default.

Returns
  An iterator to the location where text was deleted, if the buffer was modified.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::begin | ( |  | ) |

void Gtk::TextBuffer::begin_user_action | ( |  | ) |

Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to end_user_action() are part of a single user-visible operation.

The operations between begin_user_action() and end_user_action() can then be grouped when creating an undo stack. Gtk::TextBuffer maintains a count of calls to begin_user_action() that have not been closed with a call to end_user_action(), and emits the “begin-user-action” and “end-user-action” signals only for the outermost pair of calls. This allows you to build user actions from other user actions.

The “interactive” buffer mutation functions, such as insert_interactive(), automatically call begin/end user action around the buffer operations they perform, so there's no need to add extra calls if you user action consists solely of a single call to one of those functions.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::copy_clipboard | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Clipboard >& | clipboard | ) |

Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard.

Parameters

  clipboard | The Gtk::Clipboard object to copy to.

Glib::RefPtr<ChildAnchor> Gtk::TextBuffer::create_child_anchor | ( | const iterator& | pos | ) |

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer::Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::create_mark | ( | const Glib::ustring & | mark_name,
|  | const iterator& | where,
|  | bool | left_gravity = `true`
| ) |  |

Creates a mark at position where.

The mark can be retrieved by name using get_mark(). If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark's current location, the mark will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity ( left_gravity = `false`), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity (when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you're typing).

Emits the "mark_set" signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

Parameters

  mark_name | Name for mark, or `0`.
  where | Location to place mark.
  left_gravity | Whether the mark has left gravity.

Returns
  The new Gtk::TextMark object.

Glib::RefPtr<Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::create_mark | ( | const iterator& | where,
|  | bool | left_gravity = `true`
| ) |  |

Create an anonymous mark.

Creates an anonymous mark at position where.

If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark's current location, the mark will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity ( left_gravity = `false`), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity (when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you're typing).

Emits the "mark_set" signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

Parameters

  where | Location to place mark.
  left_gravity | Whether the mark has left gravity.

Returns
  The new Gtk::TextMark object.

Glib::RefPtr<Tag> Gtk::TextBuffer::create_tag | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tag_name | ) |

Creates a tag and adds it to the tag table for buffer.

Equivalent to calling Gtk::TextBuffer::Tag::create() and then adding the tag to the buffer's tag table. A tag called tag_name must not already exist in the tag table for this buffer.

Parameters

  tag_name | The name for the new tag.

Returns
  The new tag.

Glib::RefPtr<Tag> Gtk::TextBuffer::create_tag | ( |  | ) |

Creates an anoymous tag and adds it to the tag table for buffer.

Returns
  The new tag.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::cut_clipboard | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Clipboard >& | clipboard,
|  | bool | default_editable = `true`
| ) |  |

Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard, then deletes said text if it’s editable.

Parameters

  clipboard | The Gtk::Clipboard object to cut to.
  default_editable | Default editability of the buffer.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::delete_mark | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Mark >& | mark | ) |

Deletes mark, so that it's no longer located anywhere in the buffer.

Removes the reference the buffer holds to the mark, so if you don't keep a Glib::RefPtr to the mark, it will be freed. Even if the mark isn't freed, most operations on mark become invalid. There is no way to undelete a mark. Gtk::TextMark::get_deleted() will return `true` after this function has been called on a mark; Gtk::TextMark::get_deleted() indicates that a mark no longer belongs to a buffer. The "mark_deleted" signal will be emitted as notification after the mark is deleted.

Parameters

  mark | A Gtk::TextMark in buffer.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::delete_mark_by_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Deletes the mark named name; the mark must exist.

See delete_mark() for details.

Parameters

  name | Name of a mark in buffer.

bool Gtk::TextBuffer::deserialize | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer >& | content_buffer,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | format,
|  | iterator& | iter,
|  | const guint8 * | data,
|  | gsize | length
| ) |  |

This function deserializes rich text in format format and inserts it at iter.

formats to be used must be registered using register_deserialize_format() or register_deserialize_tagset() beforehand.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  content_buffer | The Gtk::TextBuffer to deserialize into.
  format | The rich text format to use for deserializing.
  iter | Insertion point for the deserialized text.
  data | Data to deserialize.
  length | Length of data.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` otherwise.

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::end | ( |  | ) |

void Gtk::TextBuffer::end_user_action | ( |  | ) |

Should be paired with a call to begin_user_action().

|  | bool | default_editable = `true`
| ) |  |

bool Gtk::TextBuffer::erase_selection | ( | bool | interactive = `true`,
|  | bool | default_editable = `true`
| ) |  |

Deletes the range between the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks, that is, the currently-selected text.

If interactive is `true`, the editability of the selection will be considered (users can’t delete uneditable text).

Parameters

  interactive | Whether the deletion is caused by user interaction.
  default_editable | Whether the buffer is editable by default.

Returns
  Whether there was a non-empty selection to delete.

  format | A Gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format.

Returns
  Whether deserializing this format may create tags.

int Gtk::TextBuffer::get_char_count | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the number of characters in the buffer; note that characters and bytes are not the same, you can’t e.g. expect the contents of the buffer in string form to be this many bytes long.

The character count is cached, so this function is very fast.

Returns
  Number of characters in the buffer.

Glib::RefPtr<TargetList> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_copy_target_list | ( |  | ) | const

This function returns the list of targets this text buffer can provide for copying and as DND source.

The targets in the list are added with info values from the Gtk::TextBufferTargetInfo enum, using Gtk::TargetList::add_rich_text_targets() and Gtk::TargetList::add_text_targets().

Returns
  `true` if the there is text selected.

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer::Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_insert | ( |  | ) |

Returns the mark that represents the cursor (insertion point).

Equivalent to calling get_mark() to get the mark named “insert”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.

Returns
  Insertion point mark.

Returns
  An iterator that points to the position of the mark.

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::get_iter_at_offset | ( | int | char_offset | ) |

int Gtk::TextBuffer::get_line_count | ( |  | ) | const

Obtains the number of lines in the buffer.

This value is cached, so the function is very fast.

Returns
  Number of lines in the buffer.

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer::Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_mark | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Returns the mark named name in buffer buffer, or `0` if no such mark exists in the buffer.

Returns
  A Gtk::TextMark, or `0`.

Glib::RefPtr<const TextBuffer::Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_mark | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) | const

Returns the mark named name in buffer buffer, or `0` if no such mark exists in the buffer.

Parameters

Returns
  A Gtk::TextMark, or `0`.

bool Gtk::TextBuffer::get_modified | ( |  | ) | const

Indicates whether the buffer has been modified since the last call to set_modified() set the modification flag to `false`.

Used for example to enable a “save” function in a text editor.

Returns
  `true` if the buffer has been modified.

Glib::RefPtr<TargetList> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_paste_target_list | ( |  | ) | const

This function returns the list of targets this text buffer supports for pasting and as DND destination.

The targets in the list are added with info values from the Gtk::TextBufferTargetInfo enum, using Gtk::TargetList::add_rich_text_targets() and Gtk::TargetList::add_text_targets().

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Returns
  The Gtk::TargetList.

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer::Mark> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_selection_bound | ( |  | ) |

Returns the mark that represents the selection bound.

Equivalent to calling get_mark() to get the mark named “selection_bound”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.

The currently-selected text in buffer is the region between the “selection_bound” and “insert” marks. If “selection_bound” and “insert” are in the same place, then there is no current selection. get_selection_bounds() is another convenient function for handling the selection, if you just want to know whether there’s a selection and what its bounds are.

Returns
  Selection bound mark.

bool Gtk::TextBuffer::get_selection_bounds | ( | iterator& | start,
|  | iterator& | end
| ) |  | const

Returns `true` if some text is selected; places the bounds of the selection in start and end (if the selection has length 0, then start and end are filled in with the same value).

start and end will be in ascending order. If start and end are `0`, then they are not filled in, but the return value still indicates whether text is selected.

Parameters

  start | Iterator to initialize with selection start.
  end | Iterator to initialize with selection end.

Returns
  Whether the selection has nonzero length.

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_serialize_formats | ( |  | ) | const

|  | const iterator& | end,
|  | bool | include_hidden_chars = `true`
| ) |  | const

Returns the text in the range [ start, end).

Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is `false`. The returned string includes a 0xFFFC character whenever the buffer contains embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with get_text(). Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a reliable indicator that a pixbuf or widget is in the buffer.

Parameters

  start | Start of a range.
  end | End of a range.
  include_hidden_chars | Whether to include invisible text.

Returns
  An allocated UTF-8 string.

Glib::RefPtr<TextBuffer::TagTable> Gtk::TextBuffer::get_tag_table | ( |  | ) |

Returns
  The buffer’s tag table.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::get_text | ( | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end,
|  | bool | include_hidden_chars = `true`
| ) |  | const

Returns the text in the range [ start, end).

Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is `false`. Does not include characters representing embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do not correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with get_slice().

Parameters

  start | Start of a range.
  end | End of a range.
  include_hidden_chars | Whether to include invisible text.

Returns
  An allocated UTF-8 string.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::get_text | ( | bool | include_hidden_chars = `true` | ) | const

Returns all the text in the buffer.

Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is `false`. Does not include characters representing embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do not correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with get_slice().

Parameters

  include_hidden_chars | Whether to include invisible text.

Returns
  An allocated UTF-8 string.

static GType Gtk::TextBuffer::get_type | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::insert | ( | const iterator& | pos,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | text
| ) |  |

Inserts text at position pos.

Emits the "insert_text" signal; insertion actually occurs in the default handler for the signal. The pos iterator is invalidated when insertion occurs (because the buffer contents change).

Parameters

  pos | An iterator pointing to the position at which the text should be inserted.
  text | The text to be inserted in the buffer.

Returns
  An iterator that points to the end of the inserted text.

iterator Gtk::TextBuffer::insert | ( | const iterator& | pos,
|  | const char * | text_begin,
|  | const char * | text_end
| ) |  |

Inserts text at position pos.

Emits the "insert_text" signal; insertion actually occurs in the default handler for the signal. The pos iterator is invalidated when insertion occurs (because the buffer contents change).

Parameters

  pos | An iterator pointing to the position at which the text should be inserted.
  text_begin | The start of a UTF8 character array.
  text_end | The end of the UTF8 character array.

Returns
  An iterator that points to the end of the inserted text.

|  | const iterator& | range_begin,
|  | const iterator& | range_end
| ) |  |

Copies text, tags, and pixbufs between range_begin and range_end (the order of range_begin and range_begin doesn't matter) and inserts the copy at pos.

Used instead of simply getting/inserting text because it preserves images and tags. If range_begin and range_end are in a different buffer, the two buffers must share the same tag table.

Implemented via emissions of the insert_text and apply_tag signals, so expect those.

Parameters

  pos | An iterator pointing to the position at which the text should be inserted.
  range_begin | A position in a buffer.
  range_end | Another position in the same buffer as range_begin.

Returns
  Whether text was actually inserted

| ) |  |

void Gtk::TextBuffer::place_cursor | ( | const iterator& | where | ) |

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.

If you move them to the same place in two steps with move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

Parameters

  where | Where to put the cursor.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::register_deserialize_format | ( | const Glib::ustring & | mime_type,
|  | const SlotDeserialize& | slot
| ) |  |

This function registers a rich text deserialization slot along with its mime_type with this TextBuffer.

Since gtkmm 3.16:

Parameters

  mime_type | The format’s mime-type.
  slot | The deserialize slot to register.

Returns
  The newly registered format’s mime-type.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::register_deserialize_tagset | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tagset_name | ) |

This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed buffer.

See register_serialize_tagset() for details.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  tagset_name | An optional tagset name, on `0`.

Returns
  The Gdk::Atom that corresponds to the newly registered format’s mime-type.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::register_serialize_format | ( | const Glib::ustring & | mime_type,
|  | const SlotSerialize& | slot
| ) |  |

This function registers a rich text serialization slot along with its mime_type with this TextBuffer.

Since gtkmm 3.16:

Parameters

  mime_type | The format’s mime-type.
  slot | The serialize slot to register.

Returns
  The newly registered format’s mime-type.

Glib::ustring Gtk::TextBuffer::register_serialize_tagset | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tagset_name | ) |

This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed buffer.

The internal format does not comply to any standard rich text format and only works between Gtk::TextBuffer instances. It is capable of serializing all of a text buffer’s tags and embedded pixbufs.

This function is just a wrapper around register_serialize_format(). The mime type used for registering is “application/x-gtk-text-buffer-rich-text”, or “application/x-gtk-text-buffer-rich-text;format= tagset_name” if a tagset_name was passed.

The tagset_name can be used to restrict the transfer of rich text to buffers with compatible sets of tags, in order to avoid unknown tags from being pasted. It is probably the common case to pass an identifier != `0` here, since the `0` tagset requires the receiving buffer to deal with with pasting of arbitrary tags.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  tagset_name | An optional tagset name, on `0`.

Returns
  The Gdk::Atom that corresponds to the newly registered format’s mime-type.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::remove_all_tags | ( | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end
| ) |  |

Removes all tags in the range between start and end.

Be careful with this function; it could remove tags added in code unrelated to the code you’re currently writing. That is, using this function is probably a bad idea if you have two or more unrelated code sections that add tags.

Parameters

  start | One bound of range to be untagged.
  end | Other bound of range to be untagged.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::remove_selection_clipboard | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Clipboard >& | clipboard | ) |

Removes a Gtk::Clipboard added with add_selection_clipboard().

Parameters

  clipboard | A Gtk::Clipboard added to buffer by add_selection_clipboard().

void Gtk::TextBuffer::remove_tag | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Tag >& | tag,
|  | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end
| ) |  |

Emits the “remove-tag” signal.

The default handler for the signal removes all occurrences of tag from the given range. start and end don’t have to be in order.

Parameters

  tag | A Gtk::TextTag.
  start | One bound of range to be untagged.
  end | Other bound of range to be untagged.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::remove_tag_by_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end
| ) |  |

Calls Gtk::TextTagTable::lookup() on the buffer’s tag table to get a Gtk::TextTag, then calls remove_tag().

Parameters

  name | Name of a Gtk::TextTag.
  start | One bound of range to be untagged.
  end | Other bound of range to be untagged.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::select_range | ( | const iterator& | ins,
|  | const iterator& | bound
| ) |  |

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.

If you move them in two steps with move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters

  ins | Where to put the “insert” mark.
  bound | Where to put the “selection_bound” mark.

guint8* Gtk::TextBuffer::serialize | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< TextBuffer >& | content_buffer,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | format,
|  | const iterator& | start,
|  | const iterator& | end,
|  | gsize & | length
| ) |  |

This function serializes the portion of text between start and end in the rich text format represented by format.

formats to be used must be registered using register_serialize_format() or register_serialize_tagset() beforehand.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  content_buffer | The Gtk::TextBuffer to serialize.
  format | The rich text format to use for serializing.
  start | Start of block of text to serialize.
  end | End of block of test to serialize.
  length | Return location for the length of the serialized data.

Returns
  The serialized data, encoded as format.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::set_can_create_tags | ( | const Glib::ustring & | format,
|  | bool | can_create_tags = `true`
| ) |  |

Use this function to allow a rich text deserialization function to create new tags in the receiving buffer.

Note that using this function is almost always a bad idea, because the rich text functions you register should know how to map the rich text format they handler to your text buffers set of tags.

The ability of creating new (arbitrary!) tags in the receiving buffer is meant for special rich text formats like the internal one that is registered using register_deserialize_tagset(), because that format is essentially a dump of the internal structure of the source buffer, including its tag names.

You should allow creation of tags only if you know what you are doing, e.g. if you defined a tagset name for your application suite’s text buffers and you know that it’s fine to receive new tags from these buffers, because you know that your application can handle the newly created tags.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Parameters

  format | A Gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format.
  can_create_tags | Whether deserializing this format may create tags.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::set_modified | ( | bool | setting = `true` | ) |

Used to keep track of whether the buffer has been modified since the last time it was saved.

Whenever the buffer is saved to disk, call gtk_text_buffer_set_modified ( buffer, `false`). When the buffer is modified, it will automatically toggled on the modified bit again. When the modified bit flips, the buffer emits the Gtk::TextBuffer::signal_modified_changed() signal.

Parameters

  setting | Modification flag setting.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::set_text | ( | const Glib::ustring & | text | ) |

Removes the current contents of the buffer, and inserts text instead.

Parameters

  text | The text to put in the buffer.

void Gtk::TextBuffer::set_text | ( | const char * | text_begin,
|  | const char * | text_end
| ) |  |

Removes the current contents of the buffer, and inserts text instead.

Parameters

  text_begin | The start of a UTF8 character array.
  text_end | The end of the UTF8 character array.

  `void on_my_erase(const TextBuffer::iterator& start, const TextBuffer::iterator& end)`

The signal_delete_range() signal is emitted to delete a range from a Gtk::TextBuffer.

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 to the location where text was deleted. Handlers which run after the default handler (see Glib::signal_connect_after()) do not have access to the deleted text.

See also: Gtk::TextBuffer::delete().
