Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Fl_Help_View::~Fl_Help_View ( )

Destroys the Fl_Help_View widget.

The destructor destroys the widget and frees all memory that has been allocated for the current document.

Member Function Documentation

void Fl_Help_View::clear_selection ( )

Removes the current text selection.

const char* Fl_Help_View::directory ( ) const
inline

Returns the current directory for the text in the buffer.

const char* Fl_Help_View::filename ( ) const
inline

Returns the current filename for the text in the buffer.

int Fl_Help_View::find ( const char *  s,
int  p = 0 
)

Finds the specified string s at starting position p.

Returns
the matching position or -1 if not found
void Fl_Help_View::leftline ( int  left)

Scrolls the text to the indicated position, given a pixel column.

If the given pixel value left is out of range, then the text is scrolled to the left or right side of the document, resp.

Parameters
[in]leftleft column number in pixels (0 = left side)
int Fl_Help_View::leftline ( ) const
inline

Gets the left position in pixels.

void Fl_Help_View::link ( Fl_Help_Func *  fn)
inline

This method assigns a callback function to use when a link is followed or a file is loaded (via Fl_Help_View::load()) that requires a different file or path.

The callback function receives a pointer to the Fl_Help_View widget and the URI or full pathname for the file in question. It must return a pathname that can be opened as a local file or NULL:

const char *fn(Fl_Widget *w, const char *uri);

The link function can be used to retrieve remote or virtual documents, returning a temporary file that contains the actual data. If the link function returns NULL, the value of the Fl_Help_View widget will remain unchanged.

If the link callback cannot handle the URI scheme, it should return the uri value unchanged or set the value() of the widget before returning NULL.

int Fl_Help_View::load ( const char *  f)

Loads the specified file.

This method loads the specified file or URL.

void Fl_Help_View::resize ( int  xx,
int  yy,
int  ww,
int  hh 
)
virtual

Resizes the help widget.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

int Fl_Help_View::scrollbar_size ( ) const
inline

Gets the current size of the scrollbars' troughs, in pixels.

If this value is zero (default), this widget will use the Fl::scrollbar_size() value as the scrollbar's width.

Returns
Scrollbar size in pixels, or 0 if the global Fl::scrollbar_size() is being used.
See Also
Fl::scrollbar_size(int)
void Fl_Help_View::scrollbar_size ( int  newSize)
inline

Sets the pixel size of the scrollbars' troughs to newSize, in pixels.

Normally you should not need this method, and should use Fl::scrollbar_size(int) instead to manage the size of ALL your widgets' scrollbars. This ensures your application has a consistent UI, is the default behavior, and is normally what you want.

Only use THIS method if you really need to override the global scrollbar size. The need for this should be rare.

Setting newSize to the special value of 0 causes the widget to track the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), which is the default.

Parameters
[in]newSizeSets the scrollbar size in pixels.
If 0 (default), scrollbar size tracks the global Fl::scrollbar_size()
See Also
Fl::scrollbar_size()
void Fl_Help_View::select_all ( )

Selects all the text in the view.

int Fl_Help_View::size ( ) const
inline

Gets the size of the help view.

void Fl_Help_View::textcolor ( Fl_Color  c)
inline

Sets the default text color.

Fl_Color Fl_Help_View::textcolor ( ) const
inline

Returns the current default text color.

void Fl_Help_View::textfont ( Fl_Font  f)
inline

Sets the default text font.

Fl_Font Fl_Help_View::textfont ( ) const
inline

Returns the current default text font.

void Fl_Help_View::textsize ( Fl_Fontsize  s)
inline

Sets the default text size.

Fl_Fontsize Fl_Help_View::textsize ( ) const
inline

Gets the default text size.

const char* Fl_Help_View::title ( )
inline

Returns the current document title, or NULL if there is no title.

void Fl_Help_View::topline ( const char *  n)

Scrolls the text to the indicated position, given a named destination.

Parameters
[in]ntarget name
void Fl_Help_View::topline ( int  top)

Scrolls the text to the indicated position, given a pixel line.

If the given pixel value top is out of range, then the text is scrolled to the top or bottom of the document, resp.

Parameters
[in]toptop line number in pixels (0 = start of document)
int Fl_Help_View::topline ( ) const
inline

Returns the current top line in pixels.

void Fl_Help_View::value ( const char *  val)

Sets the current help text buffer to the string provided and reformats the text.

The provided character string val is copied internally and will be freed when value() is called again, or when the widget is destroyed.

If val is NULL, then the widget is cleared.

const char* Fl_Help_View::value ( ) const
inline

Returns the current buffer contents.
