Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Fl_Help_View()

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

◆ draw()

void Fl_Help_View::draw ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Draws the Fl_Help_View widget.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ find()

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

◆ handle()

int Fl_Help_View::handle ( int  event)
virtual

Handles events in the widget.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ leftline()

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)

◆ link()

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);
Fl_Widget is the base class for all widgets in FLTK.
Definition Fl_Widget.H:101
int w() const
Gets the widget width.
Definition Fl_Widget.H:294

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.

◆ load()

int Fl_Help_View::load ( const char *  f)

Loads the specified file.

This method loads the specified file or URL.

◆ resize()

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

Resizes the help widget.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ scrollbar_size() [1/2]

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)

◆ scrollbar_size() [2/2]

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()

◆ topline() [1/2]

void Fl_Help_View::topline ( const char *  n)

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

Parameters
[in]ntarget name

◆ topline() [2/2]

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)

◆ value()

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.
