[wxCode-users] wxScintilla :: applying shapes

[Joao M. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi.

I've read the sample 'shaped' (by Robin Dunn) and was trying to get a
text editor to work within the shape.

Unfortunatelly the shape does not apply to the text editor. When I type
something it permirts the text to be out of the shape.

I've read wxTextCtrl source/API and wxScintilla API but could not find a
way apply a shape to a text editor.

Is it possible with these editors (wxTextCtrl and wxScintilla) ?

Does anyone have any point/reference I should read ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
Joao Macaiba.

I don't know what 'shape' mean so I can't help further. Could you tell 
me where this 'shape' is written?

A non-rectangular form. In the samples/shaped example that comes with
wxGTK source, Robin Dunn shows how to modify a frame form to a
non-rectangular shape, based on a bitmap.

I've tried to add a text editor (wxTextCtrl in the case) to this frame.
But the text is not restricted to the, now, visible part of the frame.
For example, if I make my frame a circle and add a text control to it,
the text continues to be written as if the frame is still a rectangle.

I've read wxTextCtrl and wxScintilla  APIs and have not found a way to
restrict rendering the text to, only, within the frame's shaped area.

Is that possible with wxScintilla, Otto ?
