wxWidgets/interface/wx/textentry.h
Vadim Zeitlin 3f66f6a5b3 Remove all lines containing cvs/svn "$Id$" keyword. 
This keyword is not expanded by Git which means it's not replaced with the
correct revision value in the releases made using git-based scripts and it's
confusing to have lines with unexpanded "$Id$" in the released files. As
expanding them with Git is not that simple (it could be done with git archive
and export-subst attribute) and there are not many benefits in having them in
the first place, just remove all these lines.

If nothing else, this will make an eventual transition to Git simpler.

Closes #14487.

Returns the insertion point, or cursor, position.
This is defined as the zero based index of the character position to

GetLastPosition().
Notice that insertion position is, in general, different from the index
of the character the cursor position at in the string returned by
GetValue(). While this is always the case for the single line controls,
multi-line controls can use two characters @c "\\r\\n" as line
separator (this is notably the case under MSW) meaning that indices in
the control and its string value are offset by 1 for every line.
Hence to correctly get the character at the current cursor position,
taking into account that there can be none if the cursor is at the end
of the string, you could do the following:
@code
wxString GetCurrentChar(wxTextCtrl *tc)
{
long pos = tc->GetInsertionPoint();
if ( pos == tc->GetLastPosition() )
return wxString();
return tc->GetRange(pos, pos + 1);

of the different new line representations (@c CR or @c CR LF) and so
this method should be used to obtain the correct results instead of

Sets a hint shown in an empty unfocused text control.
The hints are usually used to indicate to the user what is supposed to
be entered into the given entry field, e.g. a common use of them is to
show an explanation of what can be entered in a wxSearchCtrl.
The hint is shown (usually greyed out) for an empty control until it
gets focus and is shown again if the control loses it and remains
empty. It won't be shown once the control has a non-empty value,
although it will be shown again if the control contents is cleared.
Because of this, it generally only makes sense to use hints with the
controls which are initially empty.
Notice that hints are known as <em>cue banners</em> under MSW or
<em>placeholder strings</em> under OS X.
@remarks For the platforms without native hints support (and currently
only the MSW port does have it and even there it is only used under
Windows Vista and later only), the implementation has several known
limitations. Notably, the hint display will not be properly updated
if you change wxTextEntry contents programmatically when the hint
is displayed using methods other than SetValue() or ChangeValue()
or others which use them internally (e.g. Clear()). In other words,
currently you should avoid calling methods such as WriteText() or
Replace() when using hints and the text control is empty.
@remarks Hints can only be used for single line text controls,
native multi-line text controls don't support hints under any
platform and hence wxWidgets doesn't provide them neither.
