=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextEvent` parameter.

 

- EVT_RICHTEXT_LEFT_CLICK: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_LEFT_CLICK``   event, generated when the user releases the left mouse button over an object.   
- EVT_RICHTEXT_RIGHT_CLICK: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_RIGHT_CLICK``   event, generated when the user releases the right mouse button over an object.   
- EVT_RICHTEXT_MIDDLE_CLICK: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_MIDDLE_CLICK``   event, generated when the user releases the middle mouse button over an object.   
- EVT_RICHTEXT_LEFT_DCLICK: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_LEFT_DCLICK``   event, generated when the user double-clicks an object.   
- EVT_RICHTEXT_RETURN: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_RETURN``   event, generated when the user presses the return key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.

- EVT_RICHTEXT_CONSUMING_CHARACTER: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_CONSUMING_CHARACTER``   event, generated when the user presses a character key but before it is processed and inserted into the control. Call Veto to prevent normal processing. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition, GetCharacter, Veto.   
- EVT_RICHTEXT_DELETE: Process a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_DELETE``   event, generated when the user presses the backspace or delete key. Valid event functions: GetFlags, GetPosition.

   .. method:: Clone(self)

      Returns a copy of the event.                  

      Any event that is posted to the wxWidgets event system for later action (via :meth:`wx.EvtHandler.AddPendingEvent` , :meth:`wx.EvtHandler.QueueEvent`   or `wx.PostEvent`     ) must implement this method. 

      All wxWidgets events fully implement this method, but any derived events implemented by the user should also implement this method just in case they (or some event derived from them) are ever posted. 

      All wxWidgets events implement a copy constructor, so the easiest way of implementing the Clone function is to implement a copy constructor for a new event (call it MyEvent) and then define the Clone function like this: 

      ::

          def Clone(self):

              return MyEvent()

                 

      :rtype: `Event`     








   .. method:: GetCharacter(self)

      :rtype: `wx.Char`     








   .. method:: GetContainer(self)

      Returns the container for which the event is relevant.                  

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextParagraphLayoutBox`








   .. method:: GetFlags(self)

      Returns flags indicating modifier keys pressed.                  

      Possible values are  ``RICHTEXT_CTRL_DOWN`` ,   ``RICHTEXT_SHIFT_DOWN`` , and   ``RICHTEXT_ALT_DOWN`` .                   

      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetNewStyleSheet(self)

      Returns the new style sheet.                  

      Can be used in a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGING``   or   ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGED``   event handler.                   

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextStyleSheet`








   .. method:: GetOldContainer(self)

      Returns the old container, for a focus change event.

   .. method:: GetOldStyleSheet(self)

      Returns the old style sheet.                  

      Can be used in a  ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGING``   or   ``wxEVT_RICHTEXT_STYLESHEET_CHANGED``   event handler.                   

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextStyleSheet`
