Detailed Description

A position in a code document.

Using this class you can find a position in a code document and quickly get its character position, line, and index. By calling setPositionMaintained (true), the position is automatically updated when text is inserted or deleted in the document, so that it maintains its original place in the text.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Position() [1/4]

juce::CodeDocument::Position::Position ( )

noexcept

Creates an uninitialised position.

Don't attempt to call any methods on this until you've given it an owner document to refer to!

◆ Position() [2/4]

juce::CodeDocument::Position::Position	(	const CodeDocument &	ownerDocument,
		int	line,
		int	indexInLine
	)

noexcept

Creates a position based on a line and index in a document.

Note that this index is NOT the column number, it's the number of characters from the start of the line. The "column" number isn't quite the same, because if the line contains any tab characters, the relationship of the index to its visual column depends on the number of spaces per tab being used!

Lines are numbered from zero, and if the line or index are beyond the bounds of the document, they will be adjusted to keep them within its limits.

◆ Position() [3/4]

juce::CodeDocument::Position::Position	(	const CodeDocument &	ownerDocument,
		int	charactersFromStartOfDocument
	)

noexcept

Creates a position based on a character index in a document.

This position is placed at the specified number of characters from the start of the document. The line and column are auto-calculated.

If the position is beyond the range of the document, it'll be adjusted to keep it inside.

◆ Position() [4/4]

juce::CodeDocument::Position::Position ( const Position & )

noexcept

Creates a copy of another position.

This will copy the position, but the new object will not be set to maintain its position, even if the source object was set to do so.

◆ ~Position()

juce::CodeDocument::Position::~Position ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCharacter()

juce_wchar juce::CodeDocument::Position::getCharacter ( ) const

Returns the character in the document at this position.

See also: getLineText

◆ getIndexInLine()

int juce::CodeDocument::Position::getIndexInLine ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the number of characters from the start of the line.

Note that this value is NOT the column at which the position appears in an editor. If the line contains any tab characters, the relationship of the index to its visual position depends on the number of spaces per tab being used!

◆ getLineNumber()

int juce::CodeDocument::Position::getLineNumber ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the line number of this position.

The first line in the document is numbered zero, not one!

◆ getLineText()

String juce::CodeDocument::Position::getLineText ( ) const

Returns the line from the document that this position is within.

See also: getCharacter, getLineNumber

◆ getPosition()

int juce::CodeDocument::Position::getPosition ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the position as the number of characters from the start of the document.

See also: setPosition, getLineNumber, getIndexInLine

◆ moveBy()

void juce::CodeDocument::Position::moveBy ( int characterDelta )

Moves the position forwards or backwards by the specified number of characters.

See also: movedBy

◆ movedBy()

Position juce::CodeDocument::Position::movedBy ( int characterDelta ) const

Returns a position which is the same as this one, moved by the specified number of characters.

See also: moveBy

◆ movedByLines()

Position juce::CodeDocument::Position::movedByLines ( int deltaLines ) const

Returns a position which is the same as this one, moved up or down by the specified number of lines.

See also: movedBy

◆ operator!=()

bool juce::CodeDocument::Position::operator!= ( const Position & ) const

noexcept

◆ operator=()

Position& juce::CodeDocument::Position::operator= ( const Position & )

◆ operator==()

bool juce::CodeDocument::Position::operator== ( const Position & ) const

noexcept

◆ setLineAndIndex()

void juce::CodeDocument::Position::setLineAndIndex	(	int	newLineNumber,
		int	newIndexInLine
	)

Moves the position to a new line and index within the line.

Note that the index is NOT the column at which the position appears in an editor. If the line contains any tab characters, the relationship of the index to its visual position depends on the number of spaces per tab being used!

Lines are numbered from zero, and if the line or index are beyond the bounds of the document, they will be adjusted to keep them within its limits.

◆ setPosition()

void juce::CodeDocument::Position::setPosition ( int charactersFromStartOfDocument )

Points this object at a new position within the document.

If the position is beyond the range of the document, it'll be adjusted to keep it inside.

See also: getPosition, setLineAndIndex

◆ setPositionMaintained()

void juce::CodeDocument::Position::setPositionMaintained ( bool isMaintained )

Allows the position to be automatically updated when the document changes.

If this is set to true, the position will register with its document so that when the document has text inserted or deleted, this position will be automatically moved to keep it at the same position in the text.
