Class CRichText

class CRichText : public CGlobalText;

Description

Text with rich formatting.

In rich text, each paragraph can have a different paragraph format, and each character can have a different character format.

All formatting in a rich text object is based on a global character and paragraph format layer, and a chain of layers on which they may be based. In case of conflict, upper layers override lower layers. These two format layers are specified on construction, and are not owned by the text object. Additional formatting may then be added to any portion of the text. This is called specific formatting and in case of conflict, it overrides the formatting in the global layers. Specific formatting is owned by the text object. So, the effective formatting of a rich text object may be composed of specific formatting and formatting specified in a chain of format layers.

Rich text supports styles. A style is a named set of paragraph and character format attributes. Styles are stored in a list which is passed to the rich text object on construction, or which is assigned to the object after construction. Styles can be appended to and removed from the list and existing styles can be modified. Only paragraph styles are supported. This means that styles are applied to entire paragraphs, although both character and paragraph format attributes may be set in the style.

Rich text also supports object embedding. Embedded objects are represented in rich text by CPicture-derived objects. A rich text object which supports the display of pictures needs to be supplied with a picture factory.

Description

Allocates and constructs an empty rich text object, with a global character and paragraph format layer. A single end-of-document delimiter is inserted. No style list is allocated.

Parameters

const CParaFormatLayer *aGlobalParaLayer

Pointer to the paragraph format layer referenced by the rich text object. Must not be NULL, or a panic occurs.

const CCharFormatLayer *aGlobalCharLayer

Pointer to the character format layer referenced by the rich text object. Must not be NULL, or a panic occurs.

TDocumentStorage aStorage

The type of in-memory buffer to use. Defaults to ESegmentedStorage which should rarely need to be changed.

TInt aDefaultTextGranularity

Specifies the granularity of the in-memory buffer. Default is EDefaultTextGranularity bytes (=256), and this should rarely need to be changed.

TParaType aParaType

This argument indicates whether you are using a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs, and thus affects the granularity of aggregate objects used internally for storing paragraph attributes. Default = EMultiPara.

Return value

CRichText *

NewL()

static IMPORT_C CRichText *NewL(const CParaFormatLayer *aGlobalParaLayer, const CCharFormatLayer *aGlobalCharLayer, const CStyleList &aStyleList, TDocumentStorage aStorage=ESegmentedStorage, TInt aDefaultTextGranularity=EDefaultTextGranularity, TParaType aParaType=EMultiPara);

Description

Allocates and constructs an empty rich text object which supports styles. It is constructed with a global character and paragraph format layer and a style list. A single end-of-document delimiter is inserted. The rich text object takes ownership of the style list.

Note:

A rich text object not constructed with a style list may still use styles, by calling SetStyleListExternallyOwned() at any time after construction. In this case, the rich text object does not own the style list.

Parameters

RestoreWithStyleListL()

IMPORT_C void RestoreWithStyleListL(const CStreamStore &aStore, TStreamId aStreamId, const CStyleList &aExternalStyleList);

Description

Restores a rich text object, including all of its components and an externally owned style list, from a stream store.

Parameters

const CStreamStore &aStore

Stream store from which the object is restored.

TStreamId aStreamId

ID of the stream store.

const CStyleList &aExternalStyleList

An externally owned style list.


StoreComponentsL()

virtual IMPORT_C void StoreComponentsL(CStreamStore &aStore, CStoreMap &aMap) const;

Description

Stores the rich text object's components (field set, style list, formatting and pictures) to the stream store specified.

Parameters

CStreamStore &aStore

Stream store to which the text components are written.

CStoreMap &aMap

A store map. This binds the address of text components to the stream ID of aStore. This is needed to support the deferred loading of pictures in rich text.


RestoreComponentsL()

virtual IMPORT_C void RestoreComponentsL(const CStreamStore &aStore);

Description

Restores the rich text object's components (field set, style list, formatting and pictures) from a stream store.

Parameters

const CStreamStore &aStore

The stream store from which the text object's components are restored.


ExternalizeL()

virtual IMPORT_C void ExternalizeL(RWriteStream &aStream) const;

Description

Externalises the rich text object and all of its components (field set, style list, rich text formatting, pictures) to a read stream. The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator<<() (defined in s32strm.h) is available to externalise objects of this class.

Notes:

Any "insert pending" state is cancelled (calls CancelInsertCharFormat()).

The global format layers are not owned by the object; they are supplied by the owner of the object and not saved when the object is externalised or loaded when it is internalized.

StoreComponentsL() must be called before calling this function. This is necessary to set up the the stream store needed to externalize rich text objects. It is not possible to get a stream store into a stream and a rich text object cannot be externalized to an arbitrary stream thus StoreComponentsL() will set up this stream store before externalizing.

The inherited function CEditableText::StoreL() combines both calling of StoreComponentsL() to set up the stream store and externalizing the rich text object to this stream store.

Parameters

RWriteStream &aStream

Stream to which to write the rich text object.


InternalizeL()

virtual IMPORT_C void InternalizeL(RReadStream &aStream);

Description

Internalises the rich text object and all of its components (field set, style list, rich text formatting and pictures) from a read stream. The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator>>() (defined in s32strm.h) is available to internalise objects of this class.

Note: The global format layers are not owned by the object; they are supplied by the owner of the object and not saved when the object is externalised or loaded when it is internalized.

Parameters

RReadStream &aStream

Stream from which to read the rich text object.


ExternalizeStyleDataL()

IMPORT_C void ExternalizeStyleDataL(RWriteStream &aStream) const;

Pictures in a rich text object may be represented as picture headers, or by the picture data itself. CRichText supports the deferred loading of picture data, so that it is only loaded when it is needed to be displayed, thus economising on memory use. A rich text object which supports the deferred loading of pictures needs to be supplied with a picture factory. It can either be set using this function, or during construction.

Note: A panic occurs if the factory is NULL, but the store resolver is not NULL.

Description

Inserts a picture header into the text object at a specified document position. The picture header specified must reference a valid picture, or a panic occurs.

A panic also occurs if the text object is in an "insert pending" state (SetInsertCharFormatL() has been called and has not been cancelled using CancelInsertCharFormat()) and aPos is not the same as the insertion point.

This method takes ownership of a picture referenced in aHeader.

Parameters

TInt aPos

The document position at which to insert the picture header. Must be valid, or a panic occurs.

const TPictureHeader &aHeader

Description

Deletes one or more characters beginning at, and including, the character at a specified document position. Can leave because paragraphs may be merged and reformatted by the function.

Parameters

TInt aPos

The start of the range of characters to delete. Must be valid or a panic occurs.

TInt aLength

The number of characters to delete. Must be positive or a panic occurs. The sum of aPos and aLength must be less than the document length, or a panic occurs.

Return value

TBool

Indicates whether two paragraphs have been merged as a result of the delete, indicating that the formatting of part of the resulting paragraph may have changed.


DeleteFromParagraph()

IMPORT_C void DeleteFromParagraph(TInt aPos, TInt aLength);

Description

Removes a range of characters from within a single paragraph only. Should not be used for deleting an entire paragraph or paragraphs because this may cause it to leave. Otherwise, it is guaranteed not to leave.

Parameters

TInt aPos

The document position of the start of the range of characters to delete. Must be a valid document position, or a panic occurs.

TInt aLength

The number of characters to delete. The sum of aPos and aLength must be less than the document length, or a panic occurs.


DeleteParagraph()

IMPORT_C void DeleteParagraph(TInt aPos, TInt aLength);

Description

Deletes one or more whole paragraphs of text. No paragraphs can be merged together by this function, so it cannot leave — it must only be used to delete entire paragraphs.

Parameters

TInt aPos

The document position of the start of the first paragraph to delete. Must be a valid position or a panic occurs.

TInt aLength

The number of characters to delete.


SetInsertCharFormatL()

IMPORT_C void SetInsertCharFormatL(const TCharFormat &aFormat, const TCharFormatMask &aMask, TInt aPos);

Pre-Condition

aPos must be a valid position, or a panic will occur.

Description

Applies character formatting to a zero length selection, for example turning bold on. This has the effect that the formatting will be applied to text subsequently inserted at the position. This "insert pending" state is cancelled by calling CancelInsertCharFormat().

Note 1: After calling this function, if text is inserted at a different position to aPos, a panic will occur, unless CancelInsertCharFormat() has been called before the insertion to cancel the "insert pending" state.

Note 2: If the insert character format is being set for the end of the paragraph, the paragraph delimiter is set to that format as well. This helps end-of-paragraph behaviour be more similar to other places.

Parameters

const TCharFormat &aFormat

The character format values to apply.

const TCharFormatMask &aMask

Character format mask specifying the attributes affected.

TInt aPos

The document position at which to insert the character format.


CancelInsertCharFormat()

IMPORT_C void CancelInsertCharFormat();

Description

Cancels the "insert pending" state set by a call to SetInsertCharFormatL() or DelSetInsertCharFormatL().

This function removes the restriction on the text insertion position imposed by these two functions. It is recommended that it is called before every cursor movement, scroll, paste, etc. This call is a small overhead, and has no effect if not applicable.


DelSetInsertCharFormatL()

IMPORT_C TBool DelSetInsertCharFormatL(TInt aPos, TInt aLength);

Description

Deletes a range of characters. The range affected is from aPos to aPos+(aLength-1) inclusive. It differs from DeleteL() in that this function preserves the formatting of the deleted character at position aPos, so that any text subsequently inserted at aPos will have that formatting applied to it.

A panic occurs if:

after calling this function, text is inserted at a different position to aPos, without calling CancelInsertCharFormat() before the insertion

aPos is invalid

aLength is negative

the range goes beyond the end of the document

Parameters

TInt aPos

The document position of the first character to delete.

TInt aLength

The number of characters to delete.

Return value

TBool

ETrue if two paragraphs have been merged as a result of the deletion; EFalse if there has been no paragraph merge.


GetParagraphFormatL()

virtual IMPORT_C void GetParagraphFormatL(CParaFormat *aFormat, TInt aPos) const;

virtual IMPORT_C CPicture *PictureHandleL(TInt aPos, MLayDoc::TForcePictureLoad aForceLoad=MLayDoc::EForceLoadTrue) const;

Description

Gets a pointer to the picture located at a specified document position, if one exists. If the picture is not in memory, the function loads it (if the second argument has a value of MLayDoc::EForceLoadTrue).

Note:

In order to load the picture, a picture factory and a store resolver must have been set.

Parameters

TInt aPos

Document position of the picture character. Must be a valid position.

MLayDoc::TForcePictureLoad aForceLoad

If the picture is not loaded into memory, MLayDoc::EForceLoadTrue loads it using the picture factory; MLayDoc::EForceLoadFalse does not, and in this case, the function returns NULL.

Return value

CPicture *

A pointer to the picture located at aPos. NULL if aPos does not specify a picture character, or if there is a picture at aPos which is not in memory, and the second argument is MLayDoc::EForceLoadFalse.


GetParaFormatL()

virtual IMPORT_C void GetParaFormatL(CParaFormat *aFormat, TParaFormatMask &aVaries, TInt aPos, TInt aLength, CParaFormat::TParaFormatGetMode aMode=CParaFormat::EAllAttributes) const;

Description

Gets the effective paragraph formatting which applies to a range of paragraphs. The region involved is every paragraph containing one or more characters in the range aPos to aPos+(aLength-1) inclusive. On return, aFormat is filled with values for all paragraph format attributes and the mask indicates the values that change over the region, and whose value is therefore indeterminate.

Note:

If aMode has a value of EFixedAttributes, the function cannot leave.

Parameters

CParaFormat *aFormat

Must not be NULL or a panic occurs. On return, contains the effective paragraph formatting for the range of paragraphs.

TParaFormatMask &aVaries

On return, a bitmask indicating which paragraph format attributes vary over the range of characters selected.

TInt aPos

The document position of the start of the range.

TInt aLength

The number of characters in the range.

CParaFormat::TParaFormatGetMode aMode

The default, EAllAttributes means that values f
