Returns a string containing spaces or tab characters to generate the given number of spaces.

◆ setFont()

void CodeEditorComponent::setFont ( const Font & newFont)

Changes the font.

Make sure you only use a fixed-width font, or this component will look pretty nasty!

noexcept

Returns true if the editor is set to be read-only.

◆ setColourScheme()

void CodeEditorComponent::setColourScheme ( const ColourScheme & scheme)

Changes the syntax highlighting scheme.

The token type values are dependent on the tokeniser being used - use CodeTokeniser::getTokenTypes() to get a list of the token types.

See also
getColourForTokenType

◆ getColourScheme()

const ColourScheme & CodeEditorComponent::getColourScheme ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current syntax highlighting colour scheme.

◆ getColourForTokenType()

Colour CodeEditorComponent::getColourForTokenType ( int tokenType) const

Returns one the syntax highlighting colour for the given token.

The token type values are dependent on the tokeniser being used.

See also
setColourScheme

◆ retokenise()

void CodeEditorComponent::retokenise ( int startIndex,
int endIndex )

Rebuilds the syntax highlighting for a section of text.

This happens automatically any time the CodeDocument is edited, but this method lets you change text colours even when the CodeDocument hasn't changed.

For example, you could use this to highlight tokens as the cursor moves. To do so you'll need to tell your custom CodeTokeniser where the token you want to highlight is, and make it return a special type of token. Then you should call this method supplying the range of the highlighted text.

See also
CodeTokeniser

◆ setScrollbarThickness()

void CodeEditorComponent::setScrollbarThickness ( int thickness)

Changes the size of the scrollbars.

◆ getScrollbarThickness()

int CodeEditorComponent::getScrollbarThickness ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the thickness of the scrollbars.

◆ handleReturnKey()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::handleTabKey ( )
virtual

Called when the tab key is pressed - this can be overridden for custom behaviour.

◆ handleEscapeKey()

virtual

Called when the view position is scrolled horizontally or vertically.

◆ caretPositionMoved()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::caretPositionMoved ( )
virtual

Called when the caret position moves.

◆ addPopupMenuItems()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::addPopupMenuItems ( PopupMenu & menuToAddTo,
const MouseEvent * mouseClickEvent )
virtual

This adds the items to the popup menu.

By default it adds the cut/copy/paste items, but you can override this if you need to replace these with your own items.

If you want to add your own items to the existing ones, you can override this, call the base class's addPopupMenuItems() method, then append your own items.

When the menu has been shown, performPopupMenuAction() will be called to perform the item that the user has chosen.

If this was triggered by a mouse-click, the mouseClickEvent parameter will be a pointer to the info about it, or may be null if the menu is being triggered by some other means.

See also
performPopupMenuAction, setPopupMenuEnabled, isPopupMenuEnabled

◆ performPopupMenuAction()

virtual void CodeEditorComponent::performPopupMenuAction ( int menuItemID)
virtual

This is called to perform one of the items that was shown on the popup menu.

If you've overridden addPopupMenuItems(), you should also override this to perform the actions that you've added.

If you've overridden addPopupMenuItems() but have still left the default items on the menu, remember to call the superclass's performPopupMenuAction() so that it can perform the default actions if that's what the user clicked on.

See also
addPopupMenuItems, setPopupMenuEnabled, isPopupMenuEnabled

◆ setCommandManager()

void CodeEditorComponent::setCommandManager ( ApplicationCommandManager * newManager)
noexcept

Specifies a command-manager which the editor will notify whenever the state of any of its commands changes.

If you're making use of the editor's ApplicationCommandTarget interface, then you should also use this to tell it which command manager it should use. Make sure that the manager does not go out of scope while the editor is using it. You can pass a nullptr here to disable this.

◆ paint()

void CodeEditorComponent::paint ( Graphics & g)
overridevirtual

Components can override this method to draw their content.

The paint() method gets called when a region of a component needs redrawing, either because the component's repaint() method has been called, or because something has happened on the screen that means a section of a window needs to be redrawn.

Any child components will draw themselves over whatever this method draws. If you need to paint over the top of your child components, you can also implement the paintOverChildren() method to do this.

If you want to cause a component to redraw itself, this is done asynchronously - calling the repaint() method marks a region of the component as "dirty", and the paint() method will automatically be called sometime later, by the message thread, to paint any bits that need refreshing. In JUCE (and almost all modern UI frameworks), you never redraw something synchronously.

You should never need to call this method directly - to take a snapshot of the component you could use createComponentSnapshot() or paintEntireComponent().

Parameters
gthe graphics context that must be used to do the drawing operations.
See also
repaint, paintOverChildren, Graphics

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ resized()

void CodeEditorComponent::resized ( )
overridevirtual

Called when this component's size has been changed.

A component can implement this method to do things such as laying out its child components when its width or height changes.

The method is called synchronously as a result of the setBounds or setSize methods, so repeatedly changing a components size will repeatedly call its resized method (unlike things like repainting, where multiple calls to repaint are coalesced together).

If the component is a top-level window on the desktop, its size could also be changed by operating-system factors beyond the application's control.

moved, setSize

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ keyPressed()

bool CodeEditorComponent::keyPressed ( const KeyPress & key)
overridevirtual

Called when a key is pressed.

When a key is pressed, the component that has the keyboard focus will have this method called. Remember that a component will only be given the focus if its setWantsKeyboardFocus() method has been used to enable this.

If your implementation returns true, the event will be consumed and not passed on to any other listeners. If it returns false, the key will be passed to any KeyListeners that have been registered with this component. As soon as one of these returns true, the process will stop, but if they all return false, the event will be passed upwards to this component's parent, and so on.

The default implementation of this method does nothing and returns false.

See also
keyStateChanged, getCurrentlyFocusedComponent, addKeyListener

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ mouseDown()

void CodeEditorComponent::mouseDown ( const MouseEvent & event)
overridevirtual

Called when a mouse button is pressed.

The MouseEvent object passed in contains lots of methods for finding out which button was pressed, as well as which modifier keys (e.g. shift, ctrl) were held down at the time.

Once a button is held down, the mouseDrag method will be called when the mouse moves, until the button is released.

Parameters
eventdetails about the position and status of the mouse event, including the source component in which it occurred
See also
mouseUp, mouseDrag, mouseDoubleClick, contains

Reimplemented from MouseListener.

◆ mouseDrag()

void CodeEditorComponent::mouseDrag ( const MouseEvent & event)
overridevirtual

Called when the mouse is moved while a button is held down.

When a mouse button is pressed inside a component, that component receives mouseDrag callbacks each time the mouse moves, even if the mouse strays outside the component's bounds.

Parameters
eventdetails about the position and status of the mouse event, including the source component in which it occurred
See also
mouseDown, mouseUp, mouseMove, contains, setDragRepeatInterval

Reimplemented from MouseListener.

◆ mouseUp()

void CodeEditorComponent::mouseUp ( const MouseEvent & event)
overridevirtual

Called when a mouse button is released.

A mouseUp callback is sent to the component in which a button was pressed even if the mouse is actually over a different component when the button is released.

The MouseEvent object passed in contains lots of methods for finding out which buttons were down just before they were released.

Parameters
eventdetails about the position and status of the mouse event, including the source component in which it occurred
See also
mouseDown, mouseDrag, mouseDoubleClick, contains

Reimplemented from MouseListener.

◆ mouseDoubleClick()

void CodeEditorComponent::mouseDoubleClick ( const MouseEvent & event)
overridevirtual

Called when a mouse button has been double-clicked on a component.

The MouseEvent object passed in contains lots of methods for finding out which button was pressed, as well as which modifier keys (e.g. shift, ctrl) were held down at the time.

Parameters
eventdetails about the position and status of the mouse event, including the source component in which it occurred
See also
mouseDown, mouseUp

Reimplemented from MouseListener.

◆ mouseWheelMove()

void CodeEditorComponent::mouseWheelMove ( const MouseEvent & event,
const MouseWheelDetails & wheel )
overridevirtual

Called when the mouse-wheel is moved.

This callback is sent to the component that the mouse is over when the wheel is moved.

If not overridden, a component will forward this message to its parent, so that parent components can collect mouse-wheel messages that happen to child components which aren't interested in them.

Parameters
eventdetails about the mouse event
wheeldetails about the wheel movement

Reimplemented from MouseListener.

◆ focusGained()

void CodeEditorComponent::focusGained ( FocusChangeType cause)
overridevirtual

Called to indicate that this component has just acquired the keyboard focus.

See also
focusLost, setWantsKeyboardFocus, getCurrentlyFocusedComponent, hasKeyboardFocus

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ focusLost()

void CodeEditorComponent::focusLost ( FocusChangeType cause)
overridevirtual

Called to indicate that this component has just lost the keyboard focus.

See also
focusGained, setWantsKeyboardFocus, getCurrentlyFocusedComponent, hasKeyboardFocus

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ isTextInputActive()

bool CodeEditorComponent::isTextInputActive ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns true if this input target is currently accepting input.

For example, a text editor might return false if it's in read-only mode.

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ setTemporaryUnderlining()

void CodeEditorComponent::setTemporaryUnderlining ( const Array< Range< int > > & underlinedRegions)
overridevirtual

Sets a number of temporarily underlined sections.

This is needed by MS Windows input method UI.

Implements TextInputTarget.

◆ getNextCommandTarget()

ApplicationCommandTarget * CodeEditorComponent::getNextCommandTarget ( )
overridevirtual

This must return the next target to try after this one.

When a command is being sent, and the first target can't handle that command, this method is used to determine the next target that should be tried.

It may return nullptr if it doesn't know of another target.

If your target is a Component, you would usually use the findFirstTargetParentComponent() method to return a parent component that might want to handle it.

See also
invoke

Implements ApplicationCommandTarget.

◆ getAllCommands()

void CodeEditorComponent::getAllCommands ( Array< CommandID > & commands)
overridevirtual

This must return a complete list of commands that this target can handle.

Your target should add all the command IDs that it handles to the array that is passed-in.

Implements ApplicationCommandTarget.

◆ getCommandInfo()

void CodeEditorComponent::getCommandInfo ( CommandID commandID,
ApplicationCommandInfo & result )
overridevirtual

This must provide details about one of the commands that this target can perform.

This will be called with one of the command IDs that the target provided in its getAllCommands() methods.

It should fill-in all appropriate fields of the ApplicationCommandInfo structure with suitable information about the command. (The commandID field will already have been filled-in by the caller).

The easiest way to set the info is using the ApplicationCommandInfo::setInfo() method to set all the fields at once.

If the command is currently inactive for some reason, this method must use ApplicationCommandInfo::setActive() to make that clear, (or it should set the isDisabled bit of the ApplicationCommandInfo::flags field).

Any default key-presses for the command should be appended to the ApplicationCommandInfo::defaultKeypresses field.

Note that if you change something that affects the status of the commands that would be returned by this method (e.g. something that makes some commands active or inactive), you should call ApplicationCommandManager::commandStatusChanged() to cause the manager to refresh its status.

Implements ApplicationCommandTarget.

◆ perform()

bool CodeEditorComponent::perform ( const InvocationInfo & info)
overridevirtual

This must actually perform the specified command.

If this target is able to perform the command specified by the commandID field of the InvocationInfo structure, then it should do so, and must return true.

If it can't handle this command, it should return false, which tells the caller to pass the command on to the next target in line.

See also
invoke, ApplicationCommandManager::invoke

Implements ApplicationCommandTarget.

◆ lookAndFeelChanged()

void CodeEditorComponent::lookAndFeelChanged ( )
overridevirtual

Called to let the component react to a change in the look-and-feel setting.

When the look-and-feel is changed for a component, this method, repaint(), and colourChanged() are called on the original component and all its children recursively.

It can also be triggered manually by the sendLookAndFeelChange() method, in case an application uses a LookAndFeel class that might have changed internally.

See also
sendLookAndFeelChange, getLookAndFeel

Reimplemented from Component.

◆ createAccessibilityHandler()

std::unique_ptr< AccessibilityHandler > CodeEditorComponent::createAccessibilityHandler ( )
overridevirtual

Override this method to return a custom AccessibilityHandler for this component.

The default implementation creates and returns a AccessibilityHandler object with an unspecified role, meaning that it will be visible to accessibility clients but without a specific role, action callbacks or interfaces. To control how accessibility clients see and interact with your component subclass AccessibilityHandler, implement the desired behaviours, and return an instance of it from this method in your component subclass.

The accessibility handler you return here is guaranteed to be destroyed before its Component, so it's safe to store and use a reference back to the Component inside the AccessibilityHandler if necessary.

This function should rarely be called directly. If you need to query a component's accessibility handler, it's normally better to call getAccessibilityHandler(). The exception to this rule is derived implementations of createAccessibilityHandler(), which may find it useful to call the base class implementation, and then wrap or modify the result.

getAccessibilityHandler
