## Functions

### e_cell_text_new ()

    ECell *
    e_cell_text_new (const gchar *fontname,
                     GtkJustification justify);

Creates a new ECell renderer that can be used to render strings that that come from the model. The value returned from the model is interpreted as being a gchar *.

The ECellText object support a large set of properties that can be configured through the Gtk argument system and allows the user to have a finer control of the way the string is displayed. The arguments supported allow the control of strikeout, underline, bold, and color.

The arguments "strikeout_column", "underline_column", "bold_column" and "color_column" set and return an integer that points to a column in the model that controls these settings. So controlling the way things are rendered is achieved by having special columns in the model that will be used to flag whether the text should be rendered with strikeout, or bolded. In the case of the "color_column" argument, the column in the model is expected to have a string that can be parsed by `gdk_color_parse()`.

#### Parameters

fontname | this param is no longer used, but left here for api stability |
justify | Justification of the string in the cell. |

#### Returns

an ECell object that can be used to render strings.

### e_cell_text_construct ()

    ECell *
    e_cell_text_construct (ECellText *cell,
                           const gchar *fontname,
                           GtkJustification justify);

constructs the ECellText. To be used by subclasses and language bindings.

#### Parameters

cell | The cell to construct |
fontname | this param is no longer used, but left here for api stability |
justify | Justification of the string in the cell |

#### Returns

The ECellText.

### e_cell_text_get_text ()

                           gint row,
                           const gchar *text);

### e_cell_text_set_selection ()

    gboolean
    e_cell_text_set_selection (ECellView *cell_view,
                               gint col,
                               gint row,

                               gint end);

Sets the selection of given text cell. If the current editing cell is not the given cell, this function will return FALSE;

If success, the [start, end) part of the text will be selected.

This API is most likely to be used by a11y implementations.

#### Parameters

cell_view | the given cell view |
col | column of the given cell in the view |
row | row of the given cell in the view |
start | start offset of the selection |
end | end offset of the selection |

#### Returns

whether the action is successful.

### e_cell_text_get_selection ()

    gboolean
    e_cell_text_get_selection (ECellView *cell_view,
                               gint col,
                               gint row,
                               gint *start,
                               gint *end);

Gets the selection of given text cell. If the current editing cell is not the given cell, this function will return FALSE;

This API is most likely to be used by a11y implementations.

#### Parameters

cell_view | the given cell view |
col | column of the given cell in the view |
row | row of the given cell in the view |
start | a pointer to an gint value indicates the start offset of the selection |
end | a pointer to an gint value indicates the end offset of the selection |

#### Returns

whether the action is successful.
