Detailed Description

A rich-text XHTML editor.

The editor provides interactive editing of XHTML text. By default it provides basic mark-up (font, formatting, color, links, and lists), but additional buttons may be added to the tool bars that add additional formatting options.

The implementation is based on TinyMCE. The widget may be configured and tailored using the setConfigurationSetting() and related methods that provide direct access to the underlying TinyMCE component.

You can use this widget with TinyMCE version 3 or 4, but this requires different configurations.

By default, Wt assumes a 3.x version of TinyMCE. You need to download TinyMCE (version 3.5b1 or later) and deploy the tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce folder to tinyMCEBaseURL. The default value for tinyMCEBaseURL is resourcesURL/tiny_mce, where resourcesURL is the configuration property that locates the Wt resources/ folder (i.e., we assume by default that you copy the tiny_mce folder to the resources/ folder), see also deployment and resources.

If you prefer to use TinyMCE 4 (or later) instead, you'll need to set the tinyMCEVersion property to 4 (or later). Note that TinyMCE changed its folder layout in version 4. You will need to deploy the js/tinymce folder to tinyMCEBaseURL. The default value for tinyMCEBaseURL for TinyMCE 4 (or later) is is resourcesURL/tinymce (i.e., we assume by default that you copy the tiny_mce folder to the resources/ folder).

If the name of the main TinyMCE JavaScript file is not tinymce.js (e.g., you are using the minified version from the release package, or the CDN //tinymce.cachefly.net/4.0/tinymce.min.js or //cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tinymce/3.5.8/tiny_mce.js), the URL to the main script file should be specified via tinyMCEURL.

Because the default folder names are different ("tiny_mce" for version 3 versus "tinymce" for version 4, you can have the resources for TinyMCE3 and TinyMCE4 alongside each other while experimenting with the old and new TinyMCE).

The default location for the TinyMCE resources may be overridden by configuring the tinyMCEBaseURL property in your Wt configuration file, see configuration properties.

Usage example:

Wt::WLabel *label = new Wt::WLabel("Comments:", w);
Wt::WTextEdit *edit = new Wt::WTextEdit("", w);
label->setBuddy(edit);

CSS

Styling through CSS is not applicable.

Default configuration of a WTextEdit

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WTextEdit()

Wt::WTextEdit::WTextEdit ( const WString text,
WContainerWidget parent = 0 
)

Creates a new text editor and initialize with given text.

The text should be valid XHTML.

Member Function Documentation

◆ boxBorder()

int Wt::WTextEdit::boxBorder ( Orientation  orientation) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the widget's built-in border width.

This is used by the layout managers to correct for a built-in border which interferes with setting a widget's width (or height) to 100%.

A layout manager needs to set the width to 100% only for form widgets (WTextArea, WLineEdit, WComboBox, etc...). Therefore, only for those widgets this needs to return the border width (the default implementation returns 0).

For form widgets, the border width depends on the specific browser/platform combination, unless an explicit border is set for the widget.

When setting an explicit border for the widget using a style class, you will want to reimplement this method to return this border width, in case you want to set the widget inside a layout manager.

boxPadding()

Reimplemented from Wt::WTextArea.

◆ boxPadding()

int Wt::WTextEdit::boxPadding ( Orientation  orientation) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the widget's built-in padding.

This is used by the layout managers to correct for a built-in padding which interferes with setting a widget's width (or height) to 100%.

A layout manager needs to set the width to 100% only for form widgets (WTextArea, WLineEdit, WComboBox, etc...). Therefore, only for those widgets this needs to return the padding (the default implementation returns 0).

For form widgets, the padding depends on the specific browser/platform combination, unless an explicit padding is set for the widget.

When setting an explicit padding for the widget using a style class, you will want to reimplement this method to return this padding in case you want to set the widget inside a layout manager.

See also
boxBorder()

Reimplemented from Wt::WTextArea.

◆ configurationSetting()

boost::any Wt::WTextEdit::configurationSetting ( const std::string &  name) const

Returns a TinyMCE configuration setting's value.

An empty boost::any is returned when no value could be found for the provided argument.

◆ extraPlugins()

const std::string Wt::WTextEdit::extraPlugins ( ) const

Returns the extra plugins.

See also
setExtraPlugins()

◆ propagateSetEnabled()

void Wt::WTextEdit::propagateSetEnabled ( bool  enabled)
virtual

Propagates that a widget was enabled or disabled through children.

When enabling or disabling a widget, you usually also want to disable contained children. This method is called by setDisabled() to propagate its state to all children.

You may want to reimplement this method if they wish to render differently when a widget is disabled. The default implementation will propagate the signal to all children.

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

◆ rendered()

JSignal& Wt::WTextEdit::rendered ( )

Signal emitted when rendered.

A text edit is instantiated asynchronously as it depends on additional JavaScript libraries and initialization. This signal is emitted when the component is initialized. The underlying TinyMCE editor component is accessible as jsRef() + ".ed".

◆ resize()

void Wt::WTextEdit::resize ( const WLength width,
const WLength height 
)
virtual

Resizes the widget.

Specifies a fixed size for this widget, setting CSS width and height properties. By default a widget has automatic width and height, which sets a size for the widget following CSS rules.

When the widget is not managed by a layout manager, the automatic (natural) size of a widget depends on whether they widget is a block or inline widget:

  • a block widget takes by default the width of the parent, and the height that it needs based on its contents
  • an inline widget takes the width and height that it needs based on its contents (possibly wrapping over multiple lines). The width and height of an inline widget cannot be changed (by the letter of CSS, although most browsers will react to it in varying ways).

When inserted in a layout manager, the size set will be used as a widget's preferred size, but the widget may be given a different size by the layout manager based on available space and stretch factors. The actual size given by a layout manager may be retrieved by making the widget "layout size aware", using setLayoutSizeAware(). If you have defined a "wtResize()" JavaScript method for the widget, then this method will also be called.

The default width and height of a widget is WLength::Auto.

See also
width(), height()

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

◆ setConfigurationSetting()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setConfigurationSetting ( const std::string &  name,
const boost::any &  value 
)

Configure a TinyMCE setting.

A list of possible settings can be found at: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wiki.php/Configuration

The widget itself will also define a number of configuration settings and these may be overridden using this method.

◆ setExtraPlugins()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setExtraPlugins ( const std::string &  plugins)

Loads additional TinyMCE plugins.

Wt loads by default only the plugin 'safari' (which adds support for the Safari web browser). Use this method to load additional plugins. Multiple plugins may be specified as a comma separated list.

The various plugins are described in the TinyMCE documentation.

Note
Plugins can only be loaded before the initial display of the widget.

◆ setPlaceholderText()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setPlaceholderText ( const WString placeholder)
virtual

Sets the placeholder text.

This method is not supported on WTextEdit and will thrown an exception instead.

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

◆ setReadOnly()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setReadOnly ( bool  readOnly)
virtual

Sets the element read-only.

A read-only form element cannot be edited, but the contents can still be selected.

By default, a form element area is not read-only.

See also
setEnabled()

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

◆ setStyleSheet()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setStyleSheet ( const std::string &  uri)

Sets the stylesheet for displaying the content.

The content is rendered using the rules defined in this stylesheet. The stylesheet is also used to derive additional styles that are available in the text editor, for example in the "styleselect" button.

Multiple stylesheets may be specified as a comma separated list.

◆ setText()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setText ( const WString text)
virtual

Sets the content.

The text should be valid XHTML.

The default value is "".

Reimplemented from Wt::WTextArea.

◆ setToolBar()

void Wt::WTextEdit::setToolBar ( int  i,
const std::string &  config
