Welcome to wxRichTextCtrl, a wxWidgets control for editing and presenting styled text and imagesby Julian SmartWhat can you do with this thing?  Well, you can change text colour, like this red bit. And this blue bit. Naturally you can make things bold or italic or underlined. Different font sizes on the same line is allowed, too. Next we'll show an indented paragraph.It was in January, the most down-trodden month of an Edinburgh winter. An attractive woman came into the cafe, which is nothing remarkable.Next, we'll show a first-line indent, achieved using BeginLeftIndent(100, -40).It was in January, the most down-trodden month of an Edinburgh winter. An attractive woman came into the cafe, which is nothing remarkable.Numbered bullets are possible, again using sub-indents:This is my first item. Note that wxRichTextCtrl doesn't automatically do numbering, but this will be added later.This is my second item.The following paragraph is right-indented:It was in January, the most down-trodden month of an Edinburgh winter. An attractive woman came into the cafe, which is nothing remarkable.The following paragraph is right-aligned with 1.5 line spacing:It was in January, the most down-trodden month of an Edinburgh winter. An attractive woman came into the cafe, which is nothing remarkable.Other notable features of wxRichTextCtrl include:Compatibility with wxTextCtrl APIEasy stack-based BeginXXX()...EndXXX() style setting in addition to SetStyle()XML loading and savingUndo/Redo, with batching option and Undo suppressingClipboard copy and pastewxRichTextStyleSheet with named character and paragraph styles, and control for applying named stylesA design that can easily be extended to other content types, ultimately with text boxes, tables, controls, and so onRichTextCtrl can also display URLs, such as this one: The wxPython Web Site. Click on the URL to generate an event.Note: this sample content was generated programmatically from within the MyFrame constructor in the demo. The images were loaded from inline XPMs. Enjoy wxRichTextCtrl!Additional comments by David Woods:I find some of the RichTextCtrl method names, as used above, to be misleading.  Some character styles are stacked in the RichTextCtrl, and they are removed in the reverse order from how they are added, regardless of the method called.  Allow me to demonstrate what I mean.Start with plain text. BeginBold() makes it bold. BeginItalic() makes it bold-italic. EndBold() should make it italic but instead makes it bold. EndItalic() takes us back to plain text. Start with plain text. BeginBold() makes it bold. BeginUnderline() makes it bold-underline. EndBold() should make it underline but instead makes it bold. EndUnderline() takes us back to plain text. According to Julian, this functions "as expected" because of the way the RichTextCtrl is written.  I wrote the SetFontStyle() method here to demonstrate a way to work with overlapping styles that solves this problem.Start with plain text. Bold. Bold-italic. Italic. Back to plain text. Start with plain text. Bold. Bold-Underline. Underline. Back to plain text.
