### Interface

# Atk EditableText

#### Description [src]

    interface Atk.EditableText : GObject.Object

The ATK interface implemented by components containing user-editable text content.

`AtkEditableText` should be implemented by UI components which contain text which the user can edit, via the `AtkObject` corresponding to that component (see `AtkObject`).

`AtkEditableText` is a subclass of `AtkText`, and as such, an object which implements `AtkEditableText` is by definition an `AtkText` implementor as well.

See `AtkText`.

#### Prerequisite

In order to implement EditableText, your type must inherit from`GObject`.

#### Implementations

- AtkNoOpObject

#### Instance methods

###### atk_editable_text_copy_text

Copy text from `start_pos` up to, but not including `end_pos` to the clipboard.

###### atk_editable_text_cut_text

Copy text from `start_pos` up to, but not including `end_pos` to the clipboard and then delete from the widget.

###### atk_editable_text_delete_text

Delete text `start_pos` up to, but not including `end_pos`.

###### atk_editable_text_insert_text

Insert text at a given position.

###### atk_editable_text_paste_text

Paste text from clipboard to specified `position`.

###### atk_editable_text_set_run_attributes

Sets the attributes for a specified range. See the ATK_ATTRIBUTE macros (such as #ATK_ATTRIBUTE_LEFT_MARGIN) for examples of attributes that can be set. Note that other attributes that do not have corresponding ATK_ATTRIBUTE macros may also be set for certain text widgets.

###### atk_editable_text_set_text_contents

Set text contents of `text`.
