Detailed Description

Annotated text gadget class.

Library: ilvatext
An instance of the IlvATCursor class represents a position in the text flow of the IlvAnnoText gadget. Its functional interface offers various ways to position it at the appropriate place in the text.

See also: IlvAnnoText, IlvATInsertionCursor, IlvATInteractor, IlvATPalette, IlvATZone.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ IlvATCursor()

IlvATCursor::IlvATCursor ( const IlvAnnoText * atext )

Initializes a new IlvATCursor instance for the given IlvAnnoText object.

Parameters

atext The annotated text object that this IlvATCursor is associated to.

Member Function Documentation

§ extract()

virtual void IlvATCursor::extract ( )

virtual

Disconnects the cursor from the annotated text object.

Disconnects the cursor from the flow of the annotated text object.

§ getZone()

IlvATZone* IlvATCursor::getZone ( ) const

Returns the text zone containing the cursor.

Returns: The IlvATZone immediately containing the cursor.

§ isAtWordBoundary()

virtual IlBoolean IlvATCursor::isAtWordBoundary ( ) const

virtual

Indicates whether the cursor is located between two words.

Returns: IlTrue if the cursor is between two words, otherwise it returns IlFalse.

§ isConnected()

IlBoolean IlvATCursor::isConnected ( ) const

Indicates whether the cursor is connected to an annotated text object.

Returns: IlTrue if the cursor has been set into the flow of the text, using one of the move functions, IlFalse if it has not been connected since its creation or if it has been disconnected using the extract() method.

§ moveBackward()

void IlvATCursor::moveBackward	(	IlBoolean	jumpcursor = `IlTrue`,
		IlBoolean	visible = `IlTrue`
	)

Move the cursor one step backward.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the previous character or graphic component of the text.

Parameters

jumpcursor	If set to `IlTrue`, cursors encountered will be ignored even if visible.
visible	If set to `IlTrue`, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the previous position, be it visible or not.

§ moveEndLine()

void IlvATCursor::moveEndLine ( )

Moves the cursor at the end of the current line.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the end of the line.

§ moveEndParagraph()

void IlvATCursor::moveEndParagraph ( IlBoolean visible = IlTrue )

Moves the cursor at the end of the current paragraph.

Sets the position of the text cursor to just before the next carriage return (end of a paragraph or line break) of the text.

Parameters

visible If set to IlTrue, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the next carriage return, be it visible or not.

§ moveEndText()

void IlvATCursor::moveEndText ( )

Moves the cursor at the beginning of the text.

Sets the position of the text cursor to just after the last character or graphic component of the text.

§ moveEndZone()

void IlvATCursor::moveEndZone	(	IlvATZone *	zone,
		IlvPosition	pos = `IlvLeft`
	)

Moves the cursor at the end of the specified text zone.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the end of zone

Parameters

zone	The annotated text zone.
pos	If set to `IlvRight`, the cursor is set after (to right of) the zone delimiter. The default value `IlvLeft` indicates that the cursor is set before (to the left of) the zone delimiter; the cursor is then inside the zone.

§ moveForward()

void IlvATCursor::moveForward	(	IlBoolean	jumpcursor = `IlTrue`,
		IlBoolean	visible = `IlTrue`
	)

Move the cursor one step forward.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the next character or graphic component of the text.

Parameters

jumpcursor	If set to `IlTrue`, cursors encountered will be ignored even if they are visible.
visible	If set to `IlTrue`, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the next position, be it visible or not.

§ moveNextWord()

void IlvATCursor::moveNextWord ( IlBoolean visible = IlTrue )

Moves the cursor to the next word boundary.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the next word boundary of the text.

Parameters

visible If set to IlTrue, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the next word boundary without taking visibility into account.

§ movePreviousWord()

void IlvATCursor::movePreviousWord ( IlBoolean visible = IlTrue )

Moves the cursor to the previous word boundary.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the previous word boundary of the text.

Parameters

visible If set to IlTrue, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the previous word boundary without taking visibility into account.

§ moveStartLine()

void IlvATCursor::moveStartLine ( )

Moves the cursor at the beginning of the current line.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the beginning of the line.

§ moveStartParagraph()

void IlvATCursor::moveStartParagraph ( IlBoolean visible = IlTrue )

Moves the cursor at the beginning of the current paragraph.

Sets the position of the text cursor to just after the previous carriage return (end of a paragraph or line break) of the text.

Parameters

visible If set to IlTrue, only visible text is taken into account; otherwise, the text cursor is moved to the next carriage return, be it visible or not.

§ moveStartText()

void IlvATCursor::moveStartText ( )

Moves the cursor at the beginning of the text.

Sets the position of the text cursor to just before the first character or graphic component of the text.

§ moveStartZone()

void IlvATCursor::moveStartZone	(	IlvATZone *	zone,
		IlvPosition	pos = `IlvRight`
	)

Moves the cursor at the beginning of the specified zone.

Sets the position of the text cursor to the beginning of zone.

Parameters

zone	The annotated text zone.
pos	If set to `IlvLeft`, the cursor is set before (to left of) the zone delimiter. The default value `IlvRight` indicates that the cursor is set after (to the right of) the zone delimiter; the cursor is then inside the zone.

§ moveTo() [1/2]

virtual void IlvATCursor::moveTo	(	IlvATCursor *	cursor,
		IlvPosition	side = `IlvLeft`
	)

virtual

Moves the cursor next to a given cursor.

Moves the text cursor immediately to the left of cursor if side is IlvLeft, immediately to the right if side is IlvRight.

Parameters

cursor	The reference cursor.
side	Which side of cursor this cursor is moved to.

§ moveTo() [2/2]

virtual IlBoolean IlvATCursor::moveTo	(	const IlvPoint &	point,
		const IlvTransformer *	t = `0`
	)

virtual

Moves the cursor to a given location.

Moves the text cursor to the position displayed nearest to point.

Parameters

point	The point location.
t	Specifies the transformer applied to the `IlvAnnoText`.

Returns: This implementation always returns IlTrue.

Note: Both moveTo() functions set the current cursor instance into the flow of the text. The cursor is now said to be connected. Generally speaking, most of the moveXX() member functions are designed to be used with the insertion cursor instance. However, if you create a cursor and use it as an insertion cursor you must start by connecting it. Otherwise, this cursor will not carry out any further text insertions.

§ startsParagraph()

IlBoolean IlvATCursor::startsParagraph ( ) const

Indicates whether the cursor is located at the beginning of a paragraph.

Returns: IlTrue if there is no text or graphic component between the the cursor and the previous end of paragraph or line break.
