<H2>Determining the Goals of the Text Editor</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
Since this will be the first big project you'll be doing with FLTK,
|
|
|
|
lets define what we want our text editor to do:
|
|
|
|
<OL>
|
1999-01-27 00:36:02 +03:00
|
|
|
<LI>Menubar/menus for all functions. </LI>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
<LI>Edit a single text file. </LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Load from a file. </LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Save to a file. </LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Cut/copy/delete/paste functions. </LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Search and replace functions. </LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Keep track of when the file has been changed. </LI>

<H2>Designing the Main Window</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
Now that we've outlined the goals for our editor, we can begin with
|
|
|
|
the design of our GUI. Obviously the first thing that we need is a
|
|
|
|
window:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Window *window;
|
|
|
|
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
window = new Fl_Window(640, 480, "Text Editor");
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
<H2>Variables</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
Our text editor will need some global variables to keep track of
|
|
|
|
things:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Window *window;
|
1999-01-27 00:36:02 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Menu_Bar *menubar;
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Multiline_Input *input;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Window *replace_dlg;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Input *replace_find;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Input *replace_with;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Button *replace_all;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Return_Button *replace_next;
|
|
|
|
Fl_Button *replace_cancel;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
int changed = 0;
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
char filename[1024] = "";
|
|
|
|
char search[256] = "";
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
The <TT>window</TT> variable is our top-level window described
|
|
|
|
previously. We'll cover the other variables as we build the
|
|
|
|
application.

|
|
|
<H2>Menubars and Menus</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
The first goal requires us to use a menubar and menus that define each
|
|
|
|
function the editor needs to perform. The <A href=Fl_Menu_Item.html#Fl_Menu_Item>
|
|
|
|
<TT>Fl_Menu_Item</TT></A> structure is used to define the menus and
|
|
|
|
items in a menubar:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Menu_Item menuitems[] = {
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
{ "&File", 0, 0, 0, FL_SUBMENU },
|
|
|
|
{ "&New", FL_ALT + 'n', new_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Open...", FL_ALT + 'o', open_cb, 0, FL_MENU_DIVIDER },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Save", FL_ALT + 's', save_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "Save &As...", FL_ALT + FL_SHIFT + 's', saveas_cb, 0, FL_MENU_DIVIDER },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Quit", FL_ALT + 'q', quit_cb },
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
{ 0 },
|
|
|
|
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
{ "&Edit", 0, 0, 0, FL_SUBMENU },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Undo", FL_ALT + 'z', undo_cb, 0, FL_MENU_DIVIDER },
|
|
|
|
{ "Cu&t", FL_ALT + 'x', cut_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Copy", FL_ALT + 'c', copy_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Paste", FL_ALT + 'v', paste_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Delete", 0, delete_cb },
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
{ 0 },
|
|
|
|
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
{ "&Search", 0, 0, 0, FL_SUBMENU },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Find...", FL_ALT + 'f', find_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "F&ind Again", FL_ALT + 'g', find2_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "&Replace...", FL_ALT + 'r', replace_cb },
|
|
|
|
{ "Re&place Again", FL_ALT + 't', replace2_cb },
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
{ 0 },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ 0 }
|
|
|
|
};
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
1999-01-27 00:36:02 +03:00
|
|
|
Once we have the menus defined we can create the <TT>Fl_Menu_Bar</TT>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
widget and assign the menus to it with:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Menu_Bar *menubar = new Fl_Menu_Bar(0, 0, 640, 30);
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
menubar->menu(menuitems);
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
We'll define the callback functions later.
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
<H2>Editing the Text</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
To keep things simple our text editor will use the <A href=Fl_Multiline_Input.html#Fl_Multiline_Input>
|
|
|
|
<TT>Fl_Multiline_Input</TT></A> widget to edit the text:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
Fl_Multiline_Input *input = new Fl_Multiline_Input(0, 30, 640, 450);
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
So that we can keep track of changes to the file, we also want to add
|
|
|
|
a "changed" callback:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
|
|
input->callback(changed_cb);
|
|
|
|
input->when(FL_WHEN_CHANGED);
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
Finally, we want to use a mono-spaced font like <TT>FL_COURIER</TT>:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
|
|
input->textfont(FL_COURIER);
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
<H2>The Replace Dialog</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
We can use the FLTK convenience functions for many of the editor's
|
|
|
|
dialogs, however the replace dialog needs its own custom window. To
|
|
|
|
keep things simple we will have a "find" string, a "replace" string,
|
|
|
|
and "replace all", "replace next", and "cancel" buttons. The strings
|
|
|
|
are just <TT>Fl_Input</TT> widgets, the "replace all" and "cancel"
|
|
|
|
buttons are <TT>Fl_Button</TT> widgets, and the "replace next " button
|
|
|
|
is a <TT>Fl_Return_Button</TT> widget:

|
|
|
|
Fl_Window *replace_dlg = new Fl_Window(300, 105, "Replace");
|
|
|
|
Fl_Input *replace_find = new Fl_Input(70, 10, 200, 25, "Find:");
|
|
|
|
Fl_Input *replace_with = new Fl_Input(70, 40, 200, 25, "Replace:");
|
|
|
|
Fl_Button *replace_all = new Fl_Button(10, 70, 90, 25, "Replace All");
|
|
|
|
Fl_Button *replace_next = new Fl_Button(105, 70, 120, 25, "Replace Next");
|
|
|
|
Fl_Button *replace_cancel = new Fl_Button(230, 70, 60, 25, "Cancel");

<H2>Callbacks</H2>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
Now that we've defined the GUI components of our editor, we need to
|
|
|
|
define our callback functions.
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
<H3>changed_cb()</H3>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
This function will be called whenever the user changes any text in the <TT>
|
|
|
|
input</TT> widget:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
void changed_cb(void) {
|
|
|
|
set_changed(1);
|
|
|
|
}
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
The <TT>set_changed()</TT> function is one that we will write to set
|
|
|
|
the changed status on the current file. We're doing it this way
|
|
|
|
because some of the other callbacks will set the changed status to 0,
|
|
|
|
and also because we want to show the changed status in the window's
|
|
|
|
title bar.
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00
|
|
|
<H3>copy_cb()</H3>
|
1999-01-13 22:28:54 +03:00

This callback function will call <A href=#Fl_Input.copy><TT>

|

<H2>Compiling the Editor</H2>

|
|
The complete source for our text editor can be found in the <TT>
|
|
|
|
test/editor.cxx</TT> source file. Both the Makefile and Visual C++
|
|
|
|
workspace include the necessary rules to build the editor. You can
|
|
|
|
also compile it using a standard compiler with:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
1998-12-29 17:21:17 +03:00

CC -o editor editor.cxx -lfltk -lXext -lX11 -lm

|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
As noted in <A href=basics.html#basics>Chapter 1</A>, you may need to
|
|
|
|
include compiler and linker options to tell them where to find the FLTK
|
|
|
|
library. Also, the <TT>CC</TT> command may also be called <TT>gcc</TT>
|
|
|
|
or <TT>c++</TT> on your system.
|
|
|
|
<P>Congratulations, you've just built your own text editor! </P>
