|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | The QSyntaxHighlighter class is a base class for
|
|---|
| 56 | implementing <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> syntax highlighters.
|
|---|
| 57 | <p>
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | <p> A syntax highligher automatically highlights parts of the text in
|
|---|
| 60 | a QTextEdit. Syntax highlighters are often used when the user is
|
|---|
| 61 | entering text in a specific format (for example, source code) and
|
|---|
| 62 | help the user to read the text and identify syntax errors.
|
|---|
| 63 | <p> To provide your own syntax highlighting for QTextEdit, you must
|
|---|
| 64 | subclass QSyntaxHighlighter and reimplement <a href="#highlightParagraph">highlightParagraph</a>().
|
|---|
| 65 | <p> When you create an instance of your QSyntaxHighlighter subclass,
|
|---|
| 66 | pass it the QTextEdit that you want the syntax highlighting to be
|
|---|
| 67 | applied to. After this your highlightParagraph() function will be
|
|---|
| 68 | called automatically whenever necessary. Use your
|
|---|
| 69 | highlightParagraph() function to apply formatting (e.g. setting
|
|---|
| 70 | the font and color) to the text that is passed to it.
|
|---|
| 71 | <p>See also <a href="basic.html">Basic Widgets</a> and <a href="text.html">Text Related Classes</a>.

| 74 | <h3 class=fn><a name="QSyntaxHighlighter"></a>QSyntaxHighlighter::QSyntaxHighlighter ( <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> * textEdit )
|
|---|
| 75 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 76 | Constructs the QSyntaxHighlighter and installs it on <em>textEdit</em>.
|
|---|
| 77 | <p> It is the caller's responsibility to delete the
|
|---|
| 78 | QSyntaxHighlighter when it is no longer needed.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 80 | <h3 class=fn><a name="~QSyntaxHighlighter"></a>QSyntaxHighlighter::~QSyntaxHighlighter ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 81 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 82 | Destructor. Uninstalls this syntax highlighter from the <a href="#textEdit">textEdit</a>()
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | <h3 class=fn>int <a name="currentParagraph"></a>QSyntaxHighlighter::currentParagraph () const
|
|---|
| 85 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 86 | Returns the id of the paragraph which is highlighted, or -1 of no
|
|---|
| 87 | paragraph is currently highlighted.
|
|---|
| 88 | <p> Usually this function is called from within <a href="#highlightParagraph">highlightParagraph</a>().
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | <h3 class=fn>int <a name="highlightParagraph"></a>QSyntaxHighlighter::highlightParagraph ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & text, int endStateOfLastPara )<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 91 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 | <p> This function is called when necessary by the rich text engine,
|
|---|
| 94 | i.e. on paragraphs which have changed.
|
|---|
| 95 | <p> In your reimplementation you should parse the paragraph's <em>text</em>
|
|---|
| 96 | and call <a href="#setFormat">setFormat</a>() as often as necessary to apply any font and
|
|---|
| 97 | color changes that you require. Your function must return a value
|
|---|
| 98 | which indicates the paragraph's end state: see below.
|
|---|
| 99 | <p> Some syntaxes can have constructs that span paragraphs. For
|
|---|
| 100 | example, a C++ syntax highlighter should be able to cope with
|
|---|
| 101 | <tt>/</tt><tt>*...*</tt><tt>/</tt> comments that span paragraphs. To deal
|
|---|
| 102 | with these cases it is necessary to know the end state of the
|
|---|
| 103 | previous paragraph (e.g. "in comment").
|
|---|
| 104 | <p> If your syntax does not have paragraph spanning constructs, simply
|
|---|
| 105 | ignore the <em>endStateOfLastPara</em> parameter and always return 0.
|
|---|
| 106 | <p> Whenever <a href="#highlightParagraph">highlightParagraph</a>() is called it is passed a value for
|
|---|
| 107 | <em>endStateOfLastPara</em>. For the very first paragraph this value is
|
|---|
| 108 | always -2. For any other paragraph the value is the value returned
|
|---|
| 109 | by the most recent highlightParagraph() call that applied to the
|
|---|
| 110 | preceding paragraph.
|
|---|
| 111 | <p> The value you return is up to you. We recommend only returning 0
|
|---|
| 112 | (to signify that this paragraph's syntax highlighting does not
|
|---|
| 113 | affect the following paragraph), or a positive integer (to signify
|
|---|
| 114 | that this paragraph has ended in the middle of a paragraph
|
|---|
| 115 | spanning construct).
|
|---|
| 116 | <p> To find out which paragraph is highlighted, call
|
|---|
| 117 | <a href="#currentParagraph">currentParagraph</a>().
|
|---|
| 118 | <p> For example, if you're writing a simple C++ syntax highlighter,
|
|---|
| 119 | you might designate 1 to signify "in comment". For a paragraph
|
|---|
| 120 | that ended in the middle of a comment you'd return 1, and for
|
|---|
| 121 | other paragraphs you'd return 0. In your parsing code if <em>endStateOfLastPara</em> was 1, you would highlight the text as a C++
|
|---|
| 122 | comment until you reached the closing <tt>*</tt><tt>/</tt>.
