wx.richtext.RichTextCell

wx.richtext.RichTextCell is the cell in a table, in which the user can type.

As well as text, it can also contain objects e.g. an image, or even another wx.richtext.RichTextTable.

A cell’s appearance can be changed via its associated wx.richtext.RichTextAttr; for example its size altered or its background colour set. It also has the properties of column- and row-span. By default these are 1, meaning that the cell only spans itself, but can be increased using the SetColSpan and SetRowSpan methods. Attempts to set too large a span are silently truncated to the table edge.

Class API

class wx.richtext.RichTextCell(RichTextBox)

Possible constructors:

RichTextCell(parent=None)

RichTextCell(obj)

RichTextCell is the cell in a table, in which the user can type.

Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self, parent=None)

Default constructor; optionally pass the parent object.

Parameters:

parent (wx.richtext.RichTextObject) –

---

__init__ (self, obj)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

obj (wx.richtext.RichTextCell) –

---

---

CanEditProperties(self)

Returns True if we can edit the object’s properties via a GUI.

Return type:

bool

---

Clone(self)

Clones the object.

Return type:

wx.richtext.RichTextObject

---

Copy(self, obj)

Parameters:

obj (wx.richtext.RichTextCell) –

---

Draw(self, dc, context, range, selection, rect, descent, style)

Draw the item, within the given range.

Some objects may ignore the range (for example paragraphs) while others must obey it (lines, to implement wrapping)

Parameters:

• dc (wx.DC) –

• context (wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext) –

• range (wx.richtext.RichTextRange) –

• selection (wx.richtext.RichTextSelection) –

• rect (wx.Rect) –

• descent (int) –

• style (int) –

Return type:

bool

---

EditProperties(self, parent, buffer)

Edits the object’s properties via a GUI.

Parameters:

• parent (wx.Window) –

• buffer (wx.richtext.RichTextBuffer) –

Return type:

bool

---

GetColSpan(self)

Returns the number of columns spanned by the cell.

By default a cell doesn’t span extra columns, so this function returns 1.

Return type:

int

New in version 2.9.5.

SetColSpan , GetRowSpan

---

GetPropertiesMenuLabel(self)

Returns the label to be used for the properties context menu item.

Return type:

string

---

GetRowSpan(self)

Returns the number of rows spanned by the cell.

By default a cell doesn’t span extra rows, so this function returns 1.

Return type:

int

New in version 2.9.5.

See also

SetRowSpan , GetColSpan

---

GetXMLNodeName(self)

Returns the XML node name of this object.

This must be overridden for XmlNode-base XML export to work.

Return type:

string

---

HitTest(self, dc, context, pt, flags=0)

Hit-testing: returns a flag indicating hit test details, plus information about position.

contextObj is returned to specify what object position is relevant to, since otherwise there’s an ambiguity. @ obj might not be a child of contextObj, since we may be referring to the container itself if we have no hit on a child - for example if we click outside an object.

The function puts the position in textPosition if one is found. pt is in logical units (a zero y position is at the beginning of the buffer).

Parameters:

• dc (wx.DC) –

• context (wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext) –

• pt (wx.Point) –

• flags (int) –

Return type:

tuple

Returns:

( int, textPosition, obj, contextObj )

---

SetColSpan(self, span)

Set the number of columns spanned by the cell.

By default colspan is 1 i.e. a cell doesn’t span extra columns. Pass a value >1 to change this. Attempting to set a colspan <1 will assert and be ignored.

Parameters:

span (long) –

New in version 2.9.5.

GetColSpan , SetRowSpan

---

SetRowSpan(self, span)

Set the number of rows spanned by the cell.

By default colspan is 1 i.e. a cell doesn’t span extra rows. Pass a value >1 to change this. Attempting to set a rowspan <1 will assert and be ignored.

Parameters:

span (long) –

New in version 2.9.5.
