   .. staticmethod:: AddDrawingHandler(handler)

      Adds a drawing handler to the end.                  


      :param `handler`: 
      :type `handler`: wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler







   .. method:: AddEventHandler(self, handler)

      Adds an event handler.                  

      A buffer associated with a control has the control as the only event handler, but the application is free to add more if further notification is required. All handlers are notified of an event originating from the buffer, such as the replacement of a style sheet during loading. 

      The buffer never deletes any of the event handlers, unless :meth:`RemoveEventHandler`   is called with ``True`` as the second argument.                  


      :param `handler`: 
      :type `handler`: wx.EvtHandler




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. staticmethod:: AddFieldType(fieldType)

      :param `paraStyle`: 
      :type `paraStyle`: wx.richtext.RichTextAttr




      :rtype: :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextRange`








   .. method:: BatchingUndo(self)

      :type `alignment`: wx.TextAttrAlignment




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: BeginBatchUndo(self, cmdName)

      Begin collapsing undo/redo commands.                  

      Note that this may not work properly if combining commands that delete or insert content, changing ranges for subsequent actions. 

      `cmdName`  should be the name of the combined command that will appear next to Undo and Redo in the edit menu.

   .. method:: BeginLeftIndent(self, leftIndent, leftSubIndent=0)

      Begins using `leftIndent`  for the left indent, and optionally `leftSubIndent`  for the sub-indent.                  

      Both are expressed in tenths of a millimetre. 

      The sub-indent is an offset from the left of the paragraph, and is used for all but the first line in a paragraph. A positive value will cause the first line to appear to the left of the subsequent lines, and a negative value will cause the first line to be indented relative to the subsequent lines.                  


      :param `leftIndent`: 
      :type `leftIndent`: int
      :param `leftSubIndent`: 
      :type `leftSubIndent`: int




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: BeginLineSpacing(self, lineSpacing)

      Begins line spacing using the specified value.                  

      `spacing`  is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing, 15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means float spacing. 

      The :ref:`wx.TextAttrLineSpacing`  enumeration values are defined for convenience.                  


      :param `lineSpacing`: 
      :type `lineSpacing`: int




      :rtype: `bool`

      Begins named list style.                  

      Optionally, you can also pass a level and a number.                  


      :param `listStyle`: 
      :type `listStyle`: string
      :param `level`:

      Begins numbered bullet.                  

      This call will be needed for each item in the list, and the application should take care of incrementing the numbering. 

      `bulletNumber`  is a number, usually starting with 1. `leftIndent`  and `leftSubIndent`  are values in tenths of a millimetre. `bulletStyle`  is a bitlist of the following values: 

      :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextBuffer`  uses indentation to render a bulleted item. The left indent is the distance between the margin and the bullet. The content of the paragraph, including the first line, starts at leftMargin + leftSubIndent. So the distance between the left edge of the bullet and the left of the actual paragraph is leftSubIndent.                  


      :param `bulletNumber`: 
      :type `bulletNumber`: int
      :param `leftIndent`: 
      :type `leftIndent`: int

   .. method:: GetStyleStackSize(self)

      Returns the size of the style stack, for example to check correct nesting.                  

      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: HitTest(self, dc, context, pt, flags=0)

      Hit-testing: returns a flag indicating hit test details, plus information about position.                  

      `contextObj`  is returned to specify what object position is relevant to, since otherwise there's an ambiguity. @ obj might not be a child of `contextObj`, since we may be referring to the container itself if we have no hit on a child - for example if we click outside an object. 

      The function puts the position in `textPosition`  if one is found. `pt`  is in logical units (a zero y position is at the beginning of the buffer). 

                


      :param `dc`:

      Sets `renderer`  as the object to be used to render certain aspects of the content, such as bullets.                  

      You can override default rendering by deriving a new class from :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextRenderer`  or :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextStdRenderer`, overriding one or more virtual functions, and setting an instance of the class using this function.

      Sets style sheet, if any.                  

      This will allow the application to use named character and paragraph styles found in the style sheet. 

      Neither the buffer nor the control owns the style sheet so must be deleted by the application.
