[pygtk] Almost there? Inserting formatted text to TextBuffer..
Hello, I've still not given up on inserting formatted text into a buffer on the fly. This is the code I have at the moment. It is a function called each time the user presses an input key, by the insert-text event. def on_text_inserted(self, buffer, iter, text, length, data=None): start = iter.copy() end = iter.copy() for tag in self.tag_list: self.apply_tag(tag, start, end) Where tag_list is a list of gtk.TextTags. This code produces no formatting at all when there are tags in the list. If I move the start iter back one position (backward_char()), then the second last character in the buffer is formatted. I cannot move the end iter forward at all (end.forward_char() returns FALSE). In this case, self is a gtk.TextBuffer. This almost works, but it doesn't. Has anyone got any suggestions? It seems I cannot get two iters to surround the last character in the buffer.

I don't believe this can work because the characters are not in the buffer when the signal is sent. This almost works, but it doesn't. Has anyone got any suggestions?

You should ask how to do this on one of the GTK mail lists. http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html John ___ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
