Thanks again. That works, but the state is lost when the cursor is
moved. Here is some code to discover multiple styles after the cursor is
moved. The pointers to the style tags are saved in globals, then in the
callback for the cursor move, we look for those pointers in the linked-list
returned by gtk_text_iter_get_tag(). I tried to use some of the other
link-list functions/macros, such as g_slist_position, but could only
get gtk_text_iter_get_tag() to work. Maybe there's a more efficient way to
do this.
// globals
GSList *gtk_text_iter_get_tags (const GtkTextIter *iter);
GtkTextTag *italp, *boldp, *ulinep;
// call back after cursor is moved
void
get_style(GtkTextView *tv, GtkMovementStep step,
gint count, gboolean extend, gpointer *user_data) {
GSList *tlist;
GtkTextIter start;
GtkTextMark *mark;
GtkTextBuffer *buf;
buf = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(tv));
mark = gtk_text_buffer_get_insert(buf);
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_mark (buf, &start, mark);
tlist = gtk_text_iter_get_tags(&start);
// look for each style -- could used to set bits in a bitfield
if (g_slist_find(tlist, italp))
g_printerr("got match for ital\n");
if (g_slist_find(tlist, boldp))
g_printerr("got match for bold\n");
if (g_slist_find(tlist, ulinep))
g_printerr("got match for uline\n");
}
. . .
main(...)
. . .
italp = gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buffer, "ital", "style",
PANGO_STYLE_ITALIC, NULL);
boldp =gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buffer, "bold", "weight",
PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD, NULL);
ulinep = gtk_text_buffer_create_tag(buffer, "uline", "underline",
PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE, NULL);
g_signal_connect_after(text_view, "move-cursor", G_CALLBACK(get_style),
NULL);
. . .
