Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
KParts.ReadOnlyPart  parent
)
QString completeText (  self,
KParts.TextExtension.Format  format
)

Returns the complete text shown in the part, in the requested format. If the format is not supported, the part must return an empty string.

int currentPage (   self )

Returns the current page (between 0 and pageCount()-1), for parts who support the concept of pages. Otherwise returns 0.

bool findText (  self,
QString  string,
KFind.SearchOptions  options
)

Returns true if string is found using the given options.

If any text matches string, then it will be selected/highlighted. To find the next matching text, simply call this function again with the same search text until it returns false.

To clear a selection, just pass an empty string.

Note that parts that implement this extension might not support all the options available in KFind.SearchOptions.

bool hasSelection (   self )

Returns true if the user selected text in the part.

int pageCount (   self )

Returns the number of pages, for parts who support the concept of pages. Otherwise returns 0.

QString pageText (  self,
KParts.TextExtension.Format  format
)

Returns the text in a given page, in the requested format.

QString selectedText (  self,
KParts.TextExtension.Format  format
)

Returns the selected text, in the requested format. If the format is not supported, the part must return an empty string.
