xml and wxHtmlWindow

olivier1978 · Post by **olivier1978** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 9:48 pm

Hi all,

I would like to display a xml file. For taht, I use a wxHtmlWindow in a wxMiniFrame. The text is correctly rendered, but, the font is all black. Is there a way to display the text with colors, as in IE for example ?

Thanks.

Olivier

The easiest route is to display the file in a wxStyledTextCtrl window and apply the XML lexer (if you need sample code, let me know).

Just set the window to read-only and you're on your way.

Gerald,

Could you provide me with a sample? I tried this, but don't get any formatting to occur:

Code: Select all

WxStyledTextCtrl1 = new wxStyledTextCtrl(this, ID_WXSTYLEDTEXTCTRL1, wxPoint(220, 22), wxSize(303, 359), 0,  wxT("WxStyledTextCtrl1"));
WxStyledTextCtrl1->SetLexer(wxSTC_LEX_XML);
WxStyledTextCtrl1->LoadFile("test.xml");

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tony

You also need to define the colours that attach to particular styles and then instruct the control to repaint.

Can't write in detail right now, but for a (rather untidy) attempt at using XmlCtrl, see:

http://xml-copy-editor.svn.sourceforge. ... mlctrl.cpp

Sorry I don't have time to reduce this down to the essential function calls right now...
