|phoenix_title|  **wx.richtext.RichTextCell**
==========================================================================================================================================

:ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextCell`  is the cell in a table, in which the user can type.          

As well as text, it can also contain objects e.g. an image, or even another :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextTable`. 

A cell's appearance can be changed via its associated :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextAttr`; for example its size altered or its background colour set. It also has the properties of column- and row-span. By default these are 1, meaning that the cell only spans itself, but can be increased using the :meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextCell.SetColSpan`  and :meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextCell.SetRowSpan`  methods. Attempts to set too large a span are silently truncated to the table edge.

   .. method:: CanEditProperties(self)

      Returns ``True`` if we can edit the object's properties via a GUI.                  

      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: Clone(self)

      Clones the object.                  

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextObject`








   .. method:: Copy(self, obj)




      :param `obj`: 
      :type `obj`: wx.richtext.RichTextCell







   .. method:: Draw(self, dc, context, range, selection, rect, descent, style)

      Draw the item, within the given range.                  

      Some objects may ignore the range (for example paragraphs) while others must obey it (lines, to implement wrapping)                  


      :param `dc`: 
      :type `dc`: wx.DC
      :param `context`: 
      :type `context`: wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext
      :param `range`: 
      :type `range`: wx.richtext.RichTextRange

      :type `style`: int




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: EditProperties(self, parent, buffer)

      Edits the object's properties via a GUI.                  


      :param `parent`: 
      :type `parent`: wx.Window
      :param `buffer`: 
      :type `buffer`: wx.richtext.RichTextBuffer




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: GetColSpan(self)

      Returns the number of columns spanned by the cell.                  

      By default a cell doesn't span extra columns, so this function returns 1. 

                

      :rtype: `int`







      .. versionadded:: 2.9.5 
    







      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetColSpan` , :meth:`GetRowSpan`     








   .. method:: GetPropertiesMenuLabel(self)

      Returns the label to be used for the properties context menu item.                  

      :rtype: `string`








   .. method:: GetRowSpan(self)

      Returns the number of rows spanned by the cell.                  

      By default a cell doesn't span extra rows, so this function returns 1. 

                

      :rtype: `int`







      .. versionadded:: 2.9.5 
    







      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetRowSpan` , :meth:`GetColSpan`     








   .. method:: GetXMLNodeName(self)

      Returns the ``XML`` node name of this object.                  

      This must be overridden for XmlNode-base ``XML`` export to work.                  

      :rtype: `string`








   .. 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`: 
      :type `dc`: wx.DC
      :param `context`: 
      :type `context`: wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext
      :param `pt`: 
      :type `pt`: wx.Point
      :param `flags`: 
      :type `flags`: int




      :rtype: `tuple`







      :returns: 

         ( `int`, `textPosition`, `obj`, `contextObj` ) 








   .. method:: SetColSpan(self, span)

      Set the number of columns spanned by the cell.                  

      By default colspan is 1 i.e. a cell doesn't span extra columns. Pass a value >1 to change this. Attempting to set a colspan <1 will assert and be ignored. 

                


      :param `span`: 
      :type `span`: long






      .. versionadded:: 2.9.5 
    







      .. seealso:: :meth:`GetColSpan` , :meth:`SetRowSpan`     








   .. method:: SetRowSpan(self, span)

      Set the number of rows spanned by the cell.                  

      By default colspan is 1 i.e. a cell doesn't span extra rows. Pass a value >1 to change this. Attempting to set a rowspan <1 will assert and be ignored.
